What is sugar alcohol? Can we have it or not? I am reading conflicting information. Thanks!

I'm no expert...but my basic understanding is Sugar alcohols are derivatives from sugar used in sugar free products to sweeten things. Instead of ending in -ose (like glucose) it ends in -ol. (I think Sorbitol is one).

Some people dump on sugar alcohols. (I don't). I've never been told they are not allowed by my team. Other find sugar alcohols make them bloated.

I can't handle it. Made chocolate milk with fairlife and sugar free syrup and within 10 minutes I was gagging and running to the restroom. I could be my body wasn't ready for it, I'm only 2 weeks out today.

My nutritionist said no sugar alcohol or at least for the first couple weeks.
