Some people are not as sensitive to it as I am but sorbitol/mannitol gives me "D" and gas. Hopefully you are one of the lucky ones that it does not affect and if it is helping I would definitely keep taking them.

I'm just waiting for these ginger altoids that you were all talking about a couple of weeks ago - they sound nice.

Try them and see. My philosophy is: can't hurt. -------------------- Formerly HanSolo. IBS, OCD, Bipolar, PTSD times 3.

The ginger ones are kind of odd tasting and burn your throat but are good for you. I have a ginger and peppermint together and it doesn't burn so much. Hope they help. -------------------- IBS-A for 20 years with terrible bloating and gas. On the diet since April 2004. Remember this from Heather's information pages: "You absolutely must eat insoluble fiber foods, and as much as safely possible, but within the IBS dietary guidelines. Treat insoluble fiber foods with suitable caution, and you'll be able to enjoy a wide variety of them, in very healthy quantities, without problem." Please eat IF foods!

Another use for it that not many people know is to cut bulk cocaine! But we won't go there!! -------------------- Laura Keep it simple!
