I too had the same reaction as Abrupt and still am because I have not got rid of all of it. Hopefully, toss the 24 bar box I purchased of another bar. It too has maltitol. Never again!!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3249938580513834279.post-6652184992990816002008-12-19T09:41:00.000-08:002008-12-19T09:41:00.000-08:00I would suspect that may be more of an intolerance...I would suspect that may be more of an intolerance to it then a common reaction. I would suggest speaking to your doctor about it next time you visit. You can also try to eat a SMALL amount of something else with Maltitol to see if it was the culprit. Just don't eat a lot and get sick again!DJhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06747090386995903644noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3249938580513834279.post-66033116050835721342008-12-19T06:26:00.000-08:002008-12-19T06:26:00.000-08:00I ate 3/4 of a bag of sugar free cookies with Malt...I ate 3/4 of a bag of sugar free cookies with Maltitol. Yes, to begin with, I ate too many cookies! But that shouldn't have the following effect... My stomach started to hurt and then I had to throw up. Once that started it wouldn't stop. I spent the rest of the night throwing up, it was so painful! The next 3 days I felt weak and could barely eat. Now I can't even think about eating hard chocolate chip cookies again (and I love cookies!) I assume it was a type of poison that my body was trying to get rid of...Maltitol poisoning?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3249938580513834279.post-55196038912890246942008-06-22T13:51:00.000-07:002008-06-22T13:51:00.000-07:00My encounter with Maltitol was from the mini Hersh...My encounter with Maltitol was from the mini Hershey's sugar free bars. I experienced no laxative effect but instead some odd sort of bloated and immensely uncomfortable sensation that persisted for about three days after having last eaten one of these bars. The discomfort was so intense that when someone suggested I verify it was positively the bars by trying another in a controlled fashion -- well I refused and will never knowingly consume anything with Maltitol in it again.<BR/><BR/>It is difficult to describe the unpleasantness I felt. It wasn't anything as bad as food poisoning, but I swear it almost seemed to have a psychologically depressing aspect to it. I had the strangest feeling of impending doom, even though the actually pain level was basically non existent. So I felt very very uncomfortable but no real pain if that makes any sense at all.Abrupthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09296783556026439554noreply@blogger.com
