First of all let me say I read the book and I am going through the Quit plan and cook book.

My question is this ( you can refer me to a page in the book if you want to):

I made some shortbread last night and it was super delicious. I had about 8 cookies ( I made a roll and sliced rounds). Now last night I got very itchy.... But only the fatty bits were itchy...it was also a hot night... I was wondering if the glucose could have made me itchy ( gone this morning!... Not itchy anymore) or could it be just the night's heat. 

My other question is ... Is glucose used by the "bad" gut bacteria as well as " the good" gut bacteria?... I assume it is not a prEbiotic ( not to misunderstand for prObiotic) used only by the good guys.

I noticed in the past ( over the years) that when I lost weight, my fatty parts were itchy....any idea why? I would really appreciate a reply!
