Guest guest Posted January 12, 2012 Report Share Posted January 12, 2012 I use both stevia and erythritol (actually more of the latter) and it doesn't feed yeast. It can cause gas or even diarrhea if eaten in large doses (like xylitol can). But I have found it very good for baking.

Guest guest Posted January 13, 2012 Report Share Posted January 13, 2012 Thanks for that Anita - may give it a try. I did use to bake with Xylitol but I never really enjoyed the flavour. > > > > Hi, > > > > I see that Stevia is now being introduced in the UK under the brand name of TruVia.
