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!
