As I've mentioned before, I'm one of those folks.

I've been tested for diabetes & related multiple times—always with negative results, yet my PN flares with sugar, sugar alcohols (found in diabetic candies & other foods), and white starches. It began with only sugar, and progressed to the others within a couple years.

Whatever it is, if it aggravates/exacerbates my symptoms, I avoid it.
