all Qgel contain sorbitol or xylitol

[Guest guest]

I just contacted epic 4health because I want to try QGel. I'm

devastated to find out that all their products either have sorbitol

or Xylitol (a sugar alcohol) in them, even the gel caps, even the

sugar free gel caps. I just can't believe it. You'd think they'd make

ONE that people with carb intolerances, or who are on ketogenic

diets could take! Heck, if I wanted to eat carbs I'd eat ice cream,

not QGel!

Thanks for letting me vent!

Anita,

I don't do well on Tishon's CoQ and never have. Perhaps this is why. I use the

Puritan's Pride product and order it when it's on sale. Right now you can order

buy 2 get 3 free but it's even better when you can buy 1 and get 2 free. They

have that sale twice a year.

You can also go to Vitamin World stores and get the same product but it's more

expensive that way. Vitamin World also has a webstore..still expensive.. at

http://www.vitaminworld.com and this is exactly the same as Puritan's Pride.

I hope these work for you.

Thanks for the info. I guess I never suspected that. Will have to take

that into account with the insulin.

Alice, Thanks so much for taking the time to write and include the

links to other CoQ 10 source sites!

Whoa, time out! I am on a ketogenic diet to help my symptoms, and my

understanding is that the sugar alcohols (like xylitol and sorbitol)

are not absorbed by the intestines, so do not have a carbohydrate

load (even though they technically are carbohydrates).

Has anyone checked into this, or do other people on ketogenic diets

avoid all " no sugar " lactitol, maltitol, xylitol, etc. products that

tout " made for diabetics " ?j

I don't know if the epic4health people would know about ketogenic

diets, but I haven't found a good dietitian yet for my diet plan,

does anyone have a dietitian they could ask?

Thanks,

RH

Hi RH,

So nice to make contact with another ketogenic person (mine is

a modified version). You're the first one I've been in contact with.

Yes, I'd love to have the sorbitol/xylitol carb question definitively

answered by a dietician, but I know of none. I only know I can't

manage sorbitol because it makes my symptoms worse in the

same way that carbs do. I just kind of assumed it was because

of the carbs, as I can't seem to process them (in more than tiny

quantities) without symptoms. It's possible it's just an allergic

reaction to the sorbitol.

Would you mind me asking what mito condition you have? We

ought to trade recipes:-)

Best Wishes,

Anita

Hi, Anita and RH

I am not on a ketogenic diet, although I have been considering trying

it. I do limit my carbs severely, because for me, I think there is an

association between too many carbs and feeling very tired, sleepy,

mentally slugish and just plain lousy. Not pain, but extreme fatigue

and mental numbness.

May I ask what symptoms you get when you eat carbs?

Thanks,

Sunny
