I love xylitol! Our dentist told us about it & after researching it a bit we have added it to our pantry as an alternate sweetener. I still use stevia most of the time b/c it's easier on the budget but for special treats xylitol makes my kids happy. I read that digestive upset from xylitol use indicates an imbalanced gut. We have not had any problems using it & we love the taste. Please do explain the part about xylitol use indicates an imbalanced gut, or direct me to a site where I can learn about that. Thanks!

The information about Truvia is very interesting. I have given Truvia a try for a couple of weeks now. And I do NOT like it. Plus it gives me a stomach ache. I was thinking it was the erythritol. Do you think I would have the same problem with pure stevia? Any suggestions on where to get it? One thing I would like to point out though. My box of Truvia lists Stevia Leaf Extract as an ingredient, not Rebiana... Amy I think most likely you will not have the same problem with pure stevia. Well... For me it's the Truvia blend. Stick with the stevia extract. It's pure and not combined with anything. The Truvia and xylitol are killing my intestines. Stevia seems to be better. It takes time to get used the taste but I want to be healthy so I need to make the change. I was confined to the house for awhile and thought I had IBS or colitis. If you are having bathroom moments like myself, do not add anything in your diet that ends with"too". Ex: eryrhritol, xylitol. Good luck!

I have been making my own homemade Trivia w/ non-GMO erythritol and it's wonderful. I have a horrible time with the Truvia brand causing a lot of stomach/intestinal issues.
