Did this make me sick?? 🤢

How do you feel about the no added sugar titles when it comes to sweet treats regarding cakes, pies etc?

Trying this out for the first time to share with you all.

I was excited to have a little sweet treat without the added sugar. However I have to remember that most of the time when it says no added sugar to something sweet it just may be using sugar alcohols. 😩

Let's just say after eating this unfortunately my stomach was like oh no. I was so bloated and had a mild stomach ache. I'm feeling much better now though. Could be a coincidence, I'm not sure but I don't even want to chance it again lol.

If you want to give this a try I found at walmart.

Trying no added sugar sweet treats for the first time can be exciting but sometimes comes with unexpected effects. From my experience with a Hines Keto-friendly walnut fudge brownie, I learned that no added sugar doesn't always mean it’s gentle on your stomach. Many sugar-free treats use sugar alcohols like maltitol or erythritol to sweeten without the calories or glucose spike. While these ingredients are better alternatives for some, they can cause digestive issues such as bloating, gas, or mild stomach aches in sensitive individuals. When I tried this brownie, which touted 0g added sugar and only 5g net carbs, my stomach became uncomfortable shortly after eating. This reaction is common because sugar alcohols are partially digested and fermented by bacteria in the colon, which may lead to gas and discomfort. It’s important to start with small portions if you’re trying these products for the first time to gauge your own tolerance. Another thing to note is that 'no added sugar' labels do not mean the product is low calorie or necessarily healthy overall. This brownie was also not low calorie and contained 10g of protein per serving, which can be a plus for keto dieters looking to maintain muscle mass. However, the gluten-free label and keto friendliness mean this is aimed at those with specific dietary preferences. If you love sweet treats but want to avoid traditional sugars, exploring keto-friendly options is worthwhile, but monitor how your body reacts, especially if you experience bloating or stomach aches. Some people find that switching to natural sweeteners like stevia or monk fruit powder is easier on digestion than sugar alcohols. Personally, I would hesitate to try this particular brownie again due to my stomach discomfort, but it may be fine for others. Always read labels carefully, watch your portion sizes, and listen to your body. Finding a sugar-free snack that satisfies cravings without side effects can take some trial and error but can be rewarding for managing sugar intake and overall health.
