Janet- all Qgel contain sorbitol or xylitol

[Guest guest]

Hi Janet, So glad that the sorbitol in the QGel isn't presenting any

problems for you.

<<> I got the problems with diareaa from eating too many

chocolate covered

> cherries with sorbitol from a local candy maker.>>

Now that sounds like a FUN way to get a dose of

sorbitol...(though the resulting diarrhea doesn't )!

I don't think it probably would presnt problems for many people,

except for those who have serious carb intolerances and really

have to limit their carbs to as close to zero as possible . Even

with Figgy's answer, I'm pretty sure it's not something I'd want to

risk trying.

I just get so upset with pharamceutical companies (and food

processors) who indiscriminately throw sweeteners into

products that don't really need it. One homeopathic company in

the USA throws SUGAR into their entire line of cough medicines

and they don't even have to list it as an ingredient (and they

DON'T!). I didn't have a clue until I got violently ill from taking it.

Best Wishes,

Anita

You might want to call Epic and ask to talk with Raj or e-mail him. He is

the one who develops the products (in his kitchen at home sometimes) and let

him know your concerns. He developed a vegetarian CoQ, because someone

contacted him. He is a really nice guy.

Laurie, Thanks for the great idea. I talked to at Epic yesterday,

but wouldn't have been with him. I will try next week.

Best Wishes, Anita

Gee, I thought even the strictest ketogenic diets had some carbs

allowed. I am allowed 20 g of carbs a day, which does come from some

cheese and sour cream I eat, and it always seems there's one or two g

in some meats.

I guess if people don't buy their medicines because they taste yucky

without any sweetener, then that would be a reason. No company or

service can cater to everybody.

Take care,
