Atkins Endulge Peanut Butter Cups
"small" amounts probably won't harm you...they actually taste quite well.

Anyway, I saw these today at a store in the mall, and so I bought a pack (3 PB cups) and ate them after lunch....WELL, 3 hours later, I thought I was going to die...I have been on the toilet since, with the worst case of the runs I can ever remember! I actually could not leave the toilet for an hour!!! So, I came to this group and just got the lowdown on Sugar Alcohols. Thanks. I also just looked at the Atkins site and there is warning on these Cups that says: "This rich delicious taste of this chocolate should be enjoyed responsibly. Indulge wisely, for those sensitive to sugar alcohols and their laxative effects, limit consumption to 1-2 packages/day." I think I would be on the toilet all night if I had had 2 packages. That was my first Atkins product ever, I've never even tried one of the Advantage bars. I use the EAS Advantage Carb Control Protein bars and shakes, and have had no problems with them. I am still in pain as I sit here with stomach cramps and the feeling of going to have to "run" again! Lesson learned: Remember to frequent this newsgroup!!! :-) C. Yes, I am REALLY happy that I only bought some items with sugar alcohols, thinking I might try them someday. Now I might as well pitch them. Might be useful as a laxative (although they seem to be unpleasant even in THAT regard), but otherwise a no-win situation. -- Jean B., 12 miles west of Boston, Massachusetts, USA |
