--and, overall not TOO much the worse for wear.

I'd like to lose 15 pounds--not the way you describe, though.

I too have found myself reacting to sorbitol on occassion--the first time was when I started taking a new brand of methylcobalamin (that was on sale through one of the Internet vitamin providers I frequent). It took me a while to figure out what was going on--and to read the label. In my case, there was a loosening of stool, and more evident blood sugar swings and carb cravings (which I'm prone to anyway, R-lipoic acid notwithstanding). i switched back and slowly this receded.

As you go though Neurotalk, I bet you'll find a lot of people asking questions of you and pining for your return. You are cerainly missed when you're Internet inaccesible.
