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 I think neither TruVia nor Xylitol would be SCD compliant, as the alcohols would feed the wrong gut bugs in the intestines? Margaret Henry's on the GAPs diet - he's not allowed Xylitol. I'm on a low GI diet - I am allowed Xylitol, prssumably because the sugar isn't absorbed in the stomach, but goes mainly unabsorbed through the colon - hence the risk of it being a laxative if you have too much. > > > > > > > > Hi, > > > > > > > > I see that Stevia is now being introduced in the UK under the brand name of TruVia.
