Yeah, no kidding Bruce. And not JUST flatulence. I think back to 2003 when DH and I were doing Atkins together. I "discovered" Breyer's sugar-free ice cream -- I thought, what the heck and DH and I had 1/2 cup, then another 1/2 cup, then another...and spent the rest of the night in the bathroom -- thank goodness we have more than one toilet in our house! LOL! At the risk of being very gross, I must say that I don't think that my colon has ever been so well-cleansed.

Yuk. No more sugar alcohols for me.
