They should be used with caution.
In one not so fine day you realize that not really want to stray too far from buildings with well-maintained toilet and just feel bad — diarrhea. In this case, before you as if “nothing” didn’t eat, and friends do not complain of the stomach. So what happened? Most likely “happened” one of the secret ingredients that you overdid the day before.
1. Sugar alcohols
Despite the name, these products do not contain alcohol. This category includes all artificial sweeteners made from carbohydrates. They meet regularly in the chewing gum without sugar, candies, ice cream, soda and other products marked “sugar-free”.
Look for on the label the mention of maltitol or the sorbitol — the most common of them. And when the immoderate use they do have a relaxing effect on the intestine, especially in people in which the body literally does not digest artificial sweeteners.
2. Synthetic fats
Today they are used not so often, but in the 1990s, when the fats were branded as “enemy number one” and the world is obsessed with their artificial species were very common. But now, no-no, and found in a priori fatty foods, like chips, but marked “no fat”.
3. Guar gum and food emulsifier: E-415
Resin is often used in the food industry as thickeners, as well as replacing the gluten. Guar resin is prepared from beans and it is rich in fiber, and E-415 — rich in fiber carbohydrate derived from fermented corn or soy. In General, in both a lot of fiber, which is really useful for digestion, many nutritionists even believe it to be critically important. However, if the fiber too much — especially if she received a “shock” dose and the body can no longer cope, resulting in bloating, diarrhoea and increased gazoudalenija. Look at the labels!
4. Carragenan
It is found in high doses in almond milk or emulsions, as well as in some types of yogurt, and cheese; is obtained from algae. Some nutritionists believe that its excessive use causes indigestion, as it tends to “attract” a large amount of water in the gastrointestinal tract, just like medical laxatives. The result is the same.
5. Vitamin C
Contrary to popular belief, vitamins can be too much. As for vitamin C, its excessive use causes the body’s keen desire to expedite the digestive process to get rid of excess. Often this acceleration leads to various disorders, including diarrhea. The recommended daily intake of vitamin for an adult is 75 mg.
