YIKES......are they ever......       02/08/05 06:12 AM Edit Reply Quote barbie Reged: 04/22/04 Posts: 2435 Loc: Texas Hi, I had my worst IBS attack that lasted 2 weeks before I realized that my vitamins had "mannitol" in them. I quit taking them and was fine. After reading lots of vitamin labels I found one that was OK. Any of the "sugar-free" stuff has either sorbitol, malitol, or mannitol in them. They will cause "D" big time.....sometimes even in people that don't have IBS. I always read the labels on anything I take and it's surprising where you will find these artificial sweetners. BTW, it's also in most gum, especially the whitening ones......so beware. It takes a lot of time reading labels but I think it's worth it!
