Please forget the chewing gum, I agree that gum can cause problems for IBS. The message got lost here, Xylitol is made from birch tree bark and is a natural sweetener that you can purchase at a good HFS, it will state on the label where it is from, if it doesn't do not purchase it as it may not be of good quality. Stevia is another natural sweetener made from an African bush. Some do not like the after taste of some brands so I suggested using Xylitol as it might not have the same after taste that stevia does. I do so agree with everyone about Please do not use artificial sweeteners they are so bad for you on so many levels. However Stevia and Xylitol are from nature and not created in any lab other than mother natures. If there are still nonbelievers I will be very happy to post the brand names we carry at our HFS that are of great quality and you will be able to look at their web sights and see for yourselves. Please everyone take care and I will talk with you all soon.
