Types/Brands of Xylitol?


(Christine) #1

Has anyone had a xylitol brand that does not send them to the restroom? I normally use Swerve, but I suspect i have an issue with it bc I’m allergic to corn and it’s grown on corn husks.

If you asked me that a year ago, I would have said Xylitol is Xylitol, HOWEVER I just bought a huge bag of NOW Xylitol and it did seem to have me and the wife in the bathroom with some after effects. With that said it was in cookies so it had a descent amount in there. Prior to that I always used Xylo-Sweet. I’ve used the NOW stuff a bunch of times at this point and not having that problem. Regardless of brand though Xylitol is something you need to get used to especially in larger amounts. We started with multiple sweeteners in most things while slowly increasing the amount of Xylitol. We make a lot of ice cream and Xylitol is king when it comes to that, but requires a descent amount in there.

I barely used a tablespoon in a sort of cheesecake cup I was messing around with and yikes! I have the birch based one from Health Garden. Just got it on amazon.
