I looked at my Atkins bar after reading this post, and there it was, polydextrose! I work for a GI practice, so I called one of my docs in and asked him about it. He hadn't heard of this causing blockages, and felt I'd have to consume a LOT of it to cause a blockage, but still, he just wasn't sure about it, so I will ask Dr Sasse about it next week. (He's my surgeon). I wonder what else it's in. As you know, I had a blockage 1 week after my surgery and had to have a 2nd surgery. I will do
anything I can to avoid another blockage! So, if I have to toss my $30 box of Atkins bars, I will! I just had a SF Oreo cookie and I see it has dextrose..but not polydextrose....now I'm looking on every label for it! I am going to go look online and research this....I am very concerned....
