I'm Type II, and I enjoy eating sugar FREE Popsicles, only 3gr carb each. Good substitute for ice cream. Don't raise my BS at all. I tried Sugarless or low carb ice cream, but the sugar alcohol in them, gives me lot of gas. My wife , not diabetic, said the same. All though, low carb ice cream has some splenda in it, still, half of the sweatening is sugar alcohol. Study showed, sugar alcohol at 25gr consumtion, couses bowel discomfort, bloating.

Some people have no problems with gastric distress caused by Sugar Alcohols. In others, it stays in the intestine, and gets absorbed as a carb. IMNSHO it should be avoided, unless you are one of the lucky ones, that it seems to have no negative effect on. JDH
