I use Splenda and truvia hurts my stomach. Anything else out there that is low carb besides those two and stevia?

    I have tried stevia drops. I like Splenda.

    I just got imo syrup in the mail yesterday and made cookies with it. All of the carbs in that syrup are basically fiber. (One of the main ingredients in qwest bars.)

    Imo syrup is not widely available. You would have to order it online. It is low calorie and low carb.

    Monk fruit extract.

    I order Torani Sugar Free syrups and use them in my coffee. I also have a stevia/monk fruit blend that is 0 carbs, it's a liquid and very concentrated. You can get Splenda in liquid form as well, I think EZSweetz sells it, and also 0 carbs, unlike the powdered Splenda, which is actually about 4 calories and 1g carb per teaspoon due to the powder carrier they use as a bulking agent. Nice of them to be accurate on the packaging.../sarcasm.

    There is of course powdered aspartame and saccharin (I think Sweet n Low or Equal) which have the same issue of those little hidden carbs due to the dextrose or maltodextrin used to bulk it.

    HTH.
