I had my first experience with a sugar alcohol today, sorbitol. I thought I got away with something, but indeed, I felt after effects from it. I felt sluggish all day, hungry constantly, and had a headache and generally felt icky. I also found myself battling the urge to sleep, which happens to me as a side effect of carbs, usually.
I stayed in ketosis, (for now) though, but the physical effects were either from the sorbitol or from going over 20 carbs. I am voting it was the sorbitol based on the incredible cravings I had. All I thought about was sweet treats I could eat all day, and this usually isn't my thing.
Maybe an effect, maybe a trigger, maybe a combination of all, but I do know I added it to my list of "poisons".
