The best medication is prevention. Just say no.

With so many new reduced carb products coming out these days that
include Sugar Alcohol, I was wondering if anyone has found an over the
counter medication that can be used to help counter the negative
reaction so many of us have.

I find in order to stick to a low-carb diet, I must at times have a
treat. However, if I eat the smallest amount of Sugar Alcohol I am
left with gas and bloating for hours. The "anti-gas" meds in the drug
store seem to have no effect on the problem at all.

A simular reaction happens when I am eating very low-carb and eat a
regular sweet, so having a small piece of candy or baked good with
regular sugar doesn't solve the problem, it just causes a similar one.

I know others have reactions to Sugar Alcohol and am wondering what
you take when you have a reaction? Certainly, people just don't sit
and suffer there has to be something you keep in your medicine cabinet
that helps calm things down.

Until they find a Sugar Alcohol that doesn't cause any issues when
being digested, I'd like to have something on hand just in case I need
it.

Thanks!
