Thanks, ladies! Yeah...no wheat or gluten in any of the products and all of them were deemed lc. I asked a LOT of questions before buying anything and they use almond flour and maltitol.
Ran across this article on
maltitol through a link Arlene left in my journal and it pretty much confirms it for me. I just can't do maltitol in the amounts found in these products.
By they way, for Janet (and anyone else interested), I had purchased the lc cheesecake brownie, the lc brownie and the lc pecan bar initially. I cut them all into three pcs and ate one pc every day or so. When I went back I purchased a lc cheesecake brownie and a hunk of sf fudge. I cut the brownie in 3 again and the fudge I was slicing into 1" square <slivers>. So the point I'm making is that I was eating these treats in what I felt to be VERY small amounts.
But apparently it was just too much maltitol for me. I looked at the Russel Stover sf candies that I eat periodically (that have NEVER caused these types of issues) and they have a mix of several different types of sugar alcohols, maltitol being one of them.
Suffice to say I have learned my lesson and will no longer be a customer there.
As an update to my progress....I woke this morning dizzy and disoriented. Went back to bed for an hour or so and woke to the same. I was down to 143.5 on the scale. WHEW! I felt hungry so very slowly ate some bacon and felt better. Maybe the small headaches and the dizziness are induction flu symptoms?
Since I was still having cravings yesterday I will stick to induction levels again today. Got to get rid of that awful feeling of being out of control!
I wish I could rename the title of this thread to: The dangers of maltitol
