I sometimes find it difficult because I am vegan and some of the alternatives cause severe bloat and pain.

In reply to Joe Leech, Dietitian. I’ve heard you’re not supposed to follow this long-term.

In reply to Shoshana. I agree Shoshana, I just say "carbohydrates" in certain foods, not necessarily the ones you would expect (like mushrooms, etc)!

I appreciate your elevator explanation, but I personally would say “natural sugars.” Generally, when I tell people I can’t digest certain sugars in foods, they say, “oh, but this doesn’t have ANY sugar in it.” Then I have to re-explain that I’m not sensitive to table sugar, just the “natural” sugar in the food already. By then they’ve lost interest, of course, which is also fine.
