I found this stuff (brand name of Z-Sweet) at Whole Foods - it's supposed to be all-natural. I was looking for Stevia but they didn't have it. Does anyone know if this is any good?

In general, you want to avoid sugar alcohols (sugar substitutes ending in -tol, like sorbitol, mannitol, xylitol, etc). For people without IBS they can cause GI problems, so they're extra problematic for us.

Ohhh I didn't realize this was one of "those". I remembered to avoid sorbitol, but I didn't think of this. I think I just need a giant list of ingredients to watch out for.
