Isomalt

Hi gang. I am back on the BS Diet and doing well, but I am really craving the taste of something sweet occasionally. There is a company that sells a selection of sugar-free sweets, but the main ingredient of most of them is isomalt. The information on this is confusing, and I wondered if anyone following a low carb diet knows anything about the carb values of these sweets. I know all the stuff about trying to wean yourself off sweet things, etc, but for the moment I would rather have something sweet that is not full of carbs than go off the wagon and eat a Mars bar.

Hi. All of these 'diabetic' foods contain sugar alcohol such as isomalt. They still have 50% of the carb value and do have a laxative effect. How about a compromise such as 85% Dark Chocolate?
