Erythritol

Hi! I am on my 4th week of Keto and I bought erythritol to put in my coffee and to bake with. Holy cow, does this stuff mess with my stomach. Does anyone else experience stomach issues by using this product and if so, did you push it to the side and use something else? If so, what did you replace it with? to use in coffee and to cook with?

    I wasn't able to find straight Erythritol here except in small bags. I when to BulkBarn and found a Stevia/Erythriot mix that is fantastic. It tastes just like sugar.

  • In small doses it doesn’t bother me but in larger doses it SURE does.   I also think it messes with my blood sugar and or ketosis.  I try not use or eat much of it, for those reasons.    I’m sorry that’s not much help but just saying it bothers me too.

    LaketimeGirl Thank you for the response. I am sorry that it bothered you too. I started with a teaspoon in my coffee and then I made fudge which called for a 1/3rd cup of Erythritol. I have to say that the recipe I found at heyketomama.com was actually really good, but the after effects weren't so good. I may try using Stevia and see what happens.

    Diane52 Hi!  Thank you for the response!  I think I may just stick with the Stevia and may even try the Swerve but it is safe to say that Erythritol and me do not get along.

    I saw this you tube video where this couple tested all these sweetners on the market and did a test on their ketones and blood sugar 30 minutes later. You might want to check it out. They also talked about stomach upset after. https://youtu.be/CYfqvTZWilw
