Default OTC Medication to Help with Sugar Alcohol Reaction?

Try the ZCarb bars, they don't have that effect. You can order them at
http://www.zcarbbar.com/

| 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!
