I know that some stevia's have an after bite, it might be the quality of the stevia being used. If you like stevia you might want to try other brands. If you just want to try something else that is natural and shouldn't have the afterbite you might want to give Xylitol a try. It is a natural sweetener and is good for strong teeth and bones. Some chewing gums contain it due to it's ability to kill off bad bacteria in the mouth.

I thought I remembered that as being one of the "bad" sweeteners, the -ol ones usually are... thanks for linking to that post!

...I had a niggling suspicion that there was another reason for me not being able to have sugar-free chewing gum!

Any of the artificial sweetners like Xylitol, Mannitol, Malitol, and the worst.....Sorbitol will cause big tummy trouble. The problem is they are in all sugar-free stuff and in gum and toothpaste & even some vitamins. I read the labels very carefully.
I love gum and the only one I have found so far that doesn't have any of that stuff is juicy fruit....then I decided to try Big Red....I read the label (very, very small print) and didn't see any problem. Well after I chewed a piece and decided to read the label again (paranoid) and sure enough there it was.....malitol. Needless to say last night I had gas. BAH!

Not sure if you call it that over there - things like Hubba Bubba, Bubbliscious? Do they have any sweeteners in? As I used to love them, but too scared to try again!

...any gum, is that it makes you swallow air which can cause trouble all on its own! So be careful.

I had a serious addiction to the Altoids chewing gum - it's so good! But between the artificial sweeteners and the trapped air, I definitely can't have it anymore. Bah.

I looked at a can of Xylitol just the other day. My understanding is that is was a derivative of sugar a natural product.
I did read that Xylitol has a laxative effect so it is certainly something that someone with "D" should stay away from.
