Non-absorbable sugars are also called sugar alcohols. They are sweet-tasting, but are not readily absorbed from the intestine into the body. Most are manufactured for commercial use. Examples are non-caloric sweeteners, like sorbitol and mannitol, which are often used in candies and gums. Non-absorbable sugars may be prescribed as laxatives.
