Question experiences with erythritol?

Hello,

I was wondering if any would share their experience with erythritol? I know that other sugar alcohols can cause bowel upsets and stalls ( gains even?) But reading up on and using erythritol I can't find anything negative about it ( except the price...) I find it blends well with stevia, getting rid of stevia's horrible licorice taste in many things....I dont seem to stall from it but I dont use very much and I am doing induction so I am bound to loose weight ...

Any thoughts?

Hi Tanya. I find that ANY sugar alcohols give my intestinal distress. Erythritol does the least however. I jsut bought some stevia mixed with Erythritol but haven't used it yet. I mix stevia, with Splenda and Sweet and Low to make a sugar sub that's ready to go. I need to mix some up today. I'll let you know if it causes, um, gassy problems for me.

I know Maggie says this sugar alcohol does the least damage to her blood glucose levels.

I've tried this and had no problem with it. The only weird thing with it is the "cooling" effect, which is an odd aftertaste kind of...Tastes like mints or something.
