i have talked to some friends who have tried the stevia and they have been saying that it has had a bad after taste has any one else had that problem. also is there a substitute such as pure mayple syrup and if so what would ratio be as in 1 tsp of stevia to 1/2 cup mayple syrup or so on?
Xylitol and monkfruit are highly recommended, and are totally sugar-free. They both have less of an aftertaste than Stevia.
All sugar alcohols (i.e. xylitol, erythritol, sorbitol, and mannitol) may aggravate intestinal symptoms. Stevia, on the other and, may be more supportive, and so could be suggested – but in its unprocessed form and not combined with a sugar alcohol. If the aftertaste is disconcerting, the other option would be a sweetener that does have some carbs in it, but that may be more supportive of your intestines – coconut sugar. Just count it in your plan.
As for maple syrup, just keep in mind that it does contain sugar, and should be kept to a minimum, if possible – again, best to get the unprocessed type. It won’t neutralize your weight loss efforts altogether, but moderation is key.
i have been looking all over the internet and found natvia which seems to be fine for ibs and it is stevia but the brand name is natvia so i hope this works and thanks for everyones help
I was told by my Vetrinarian that Xylitol is poison for dogs and is in soome chewing gum so I will avoid that.
