Pages: 1 Kinnikinnick English Muffins       #367177 - 04/03/12 04:36 AM Edit Reply Quote heatherrenee Reged: 04/23/07 Posts: 68 Hi Everyone! I have been eating gluten free (I am gluten intolerant) and I found english muffins by Kinnikinnick and was wondering if they were safe. One of the ingredients is polydextrose, which has 10% sorbitol - I am very sensative to sorbitol. However, it is listed toward the bottom, so maybe it's a small amount? Here are the ingredients, could you please take a look at them and let me know what you think? Water, White Rice Flour, Egg Whites, Tapioca Starch, Potato Starch, Sugar, Yeast, Sunflower Oil (may contain Sunflower and/or Canola Oil(), Poly Dextrose, Dextrose, Sodium Carboxy Methylcellulose, Salt, Pea Protein, Vitamin Blend(Thiamine, Vitamin B2, Niacin, Folic Acid, Iron).

It is a synthetic soluble fiber. It does not actually contain sorbitol. Sorbitol, glucose and citric acid are the components in the process used to produce it. The FDA requires the label and labeling of food a single serving of which would be expected to exceed 15 grams of the additive shall bear the statement: "Sensitive individuals may experience a laxative effect from excessive consumption of this product". It is something you may have to try to find out if it is a problem for you in the English muffins. -------------------- STABLE: ♂, IBS-D 50+ years - Science of IBS The FODMAP Approach to Managing IBS Symptoms Evidence-based Dietary Management of Functional GI Symptoms: The FODMAP Approach FODMAP Chart & Cheatsheet The Role of Food & Dietary Intervention in IBS Print     Remind Me     Notify Moderator     Re: Kinnikinnick English Muffins       #367186 - 04/03/12 10:23 AM Edit Reply Quote heatherrenee Reged: 04/23/07 Posts: 68 That's great information, Syl.
