Strive Bars - Maltitol - and GAS

[xcelbeyond]

I recently got these Strive protein bars that are the best I tasted and like what's in them - and more, what's not in them.

They don't have:
Gelatin - a WORTHLESS protein
Sugar = 0g
Trans Fat - nothing on label like partially hydrogenated vegetable oil

They do use Maltitol which is a sugar alcohol and considered a carb. While it has an extremely low glycemic index, it really gives me GAS - the ol' lady call 'em FART BARS - LOL!! All it takes is one bar and I'll drive even the most hearty out of a room

Do you think this Betain HCL will help with this?

I avoid anything with sugar alcohols . Soribitol really tears me up bad.

Sugar Alcohol

By FAR the best way to win a farting contest LOL....I even told my girl that if she got any more of those sugar alcohol treats, she would not see me the rest of the day!

unfortunately..

alot of people have that kind of reaction to either sugar alcohols or even to sugar substitutes.. (like sugar free candy.. ) Betaine HCL.. I am not sure that it would help for that.. it's more for protein and keeping your acid levels in your stomach at the proper levels.. .. but, if you like the bars.. try it.. everyone is different how they will react to things.. and it certainly cant' hurt..
