So I recently had a trip for work. I'm making sure I eat enough protein these days, for the gainz and whatnot. I like "pure protein" bars and I've been eating them for a while. On my way to the airport, I grab a four pack of pure protein bars. It's a new flavor I haven't tried, lemon cake or something, and it's got 20g protein, 2g sugar, and 200 calories just like other varieties. I usually eat 2 or 3, I was hungry, and they were delicious. I ate 3 before I got on the plane and the fourth in the air. Little did I know, these were not the bars I was used to. I started to feel the digestive unease, and I took a look at the label. There are NINE GRAMS of sugar alcohols per bar. I just consumed 36 grams of malitol syrup.
I probably don't need to tell many of you what the consequences of this were. by the time we landed, my stomach had fully unionized and gone on strike. What followed was not diarrhea so much as a continuous evacuation order of my colon.
I missed work because I spent the entire day sprinting between the hotel bed and the bathroom. At some point I learned that malitol is basically sugar that hates me, and I had eaten four lemon-flavored colon cleanses at altitude.
TL;DR: TIFU by accidentally eating 36 grams of malitol syrup, turning my business trip into a solo endurance event, missing work, and most crucially, shat out all of my gainz.
