I have stopped purchasing/eating snack foods because I kept getting major stomache pains after eating snacks containing Olestra. (However, I would like to eat snack food every once in a while, if it won't involve being doubled over with severe pain : ( Thanks for any info you have: )

That's the side effect of Olestra. They also have to add vitamins to the product because Olestra passes so fast thru your system vitamins can't be absorbed. Just limit yourself to lower fat foods and eat them less often.

Pretty much all snack foods do not contain Olestra. You must be picking up the wrong packages. It pays to read the ingredients labels.
