    Erythritol is the best thing I've tried, seriously I don't understand why doesn't everyone replace sugar with it. 0 calories, as close to sugar in taste as it gets and it doesn't raise your glycemic index. I buy mine from iherb

    Isn't Erythritol one of those that gives some people gas and diarrhea? Definitely might explain why not everyone uses it.

    Me me me!!! That's why I don't use it.

    I've never heard of Erythritol. I don't think I want to try it either because of my digestive problems.

    On the fodmap diet (which helps some people with ibs symptoms), a lot of sweeteners are "forbidden " (ie,high fodmap) and a general rule is to avoid anything ending in OL.

    Ah, makes sense. I am on a low fodmap diet, and I do recall that. I use stevia and real sugar, and that's pretty much it.

    There is a better option than sugar substitutes in baked goods. It's called not eating them. Put the cookie down and step away.

    :laugh:

    Step away.
    NO.

    I consume both depending on how many calories I have left, and if I need the energy or not.
