Have we ever taken a poll on which are the most gas producing and/or
intestinally disturbing sugar alcohols?
Fully realizing that we are all different, and our reactions to foods

are
going to be unique to us, I still think it would be a good study for us.
For me I think sorbital and next maltital.
Anyone else/

In reasonable quantities, no problem with any of them until Hershey came

out
with those da_n little Reese's cups.

They use lactitol and it was an "experience" to say the least. Something
akin to what my grandmother would have called the "trots" and major
flatulence for at least 24 hours.
