Pages: 1 Artificial sweeteners       #353902 - 01/04/10 10:46 AM Edit Reply Quote DAWN70 Reged: 12/21/09 Posts: 2 I am so thankful to have found the helpforibs website. I have had problems for 4 years. I have been to countless doctors and had test after test. I was diagnosed with IBS in 2009. I used artificial sweeteners regularly until I read to avoid them on the website. I would like to know if any of the new artificial sweeteners can be used for people with IBS? Sweeteners like Stevia, Truvia or Sun Crystals. I drink ice tea quite a bit and do not want to gain weight because I can no longer use artificial sweeteners.

If you post this on the Eating for IBS board, you will get a response. The Living Room is for non-IBS issues.

Pure stevia with no additives such as FOS or inulin should fine. Sun crystals contain stevia and sugar so it should be fine. Truvia contains sugar alcohol as a sweetener. It is best to avoid this sweetener. As Gerikat said, questions about food are best asked on the diet board. -------------------- STABLE: ♂, IBS-D 50+ years - Science of IBS The FODMAP Approach to Managing IBS Symptoms Evidence-based Dietary Management of Functional GI Symptoms: The FODMAP Approach FODMAP Chart & Cheatsheet The Role of Food & Dietary Intervention in IBS Print     Remind Me     Notify Moderator     Pages: 1
