Janet-Re: all Qgel contain sorbitol or xylitol

[Guest guest]

Hi Janet, I was SO surprised ....and disappointed!

Wondering if you could answer a question for me. Am I correct

that sorbitol is metabolised like a carb, but just slower than

sugar so it's safer for diabetics? I looked up xylitol and it said it

was a sugar alcohol. I would assume it's similar to sorbitol, but

maybe a bit more natural since it comes from a tree. I'm not a

diabetic, but because I need to stay away from ALL carbs,

diabetic info about a food is often helpful for me so I don't

unknowingly sabotage myself.

Thanks, Anita

Anita,

I have no idea about the carb part. I think Figgy from adult mito answereed

more. I am not good at all about techinical stuff.

The part about the sorbitol for me is if I get too much of it I get

diahreara. But, have been taking the Qgel for over a year now and had no

problems. Actually have constipation once in a while. My son also has had

no problems.

I got the problems with diareaa from eating too many chocolate covered

cherries with sorbitol from a local candy maker. Cherries are also supposed

to be good for constipation so maybe it was something else.
