Guest guest Posted January 28, 2012 Report Share Posted January 28, 2012 Whatever type I had gave me very severe diarrhoea Jane I believe the original xylitol was made from birch. The NOW brand xylitol is from corn. Some people in another yahoogroup had anecdotal report that xylitol caused jaw pain and locked jaw. The NOW brand caused me jaw pain.

Guest guest Posted January 29, 2012 Report Share Posted January 29, 2012 If corn product, then likely contaminated GMO product. I would stay away from it. BTW, beets which account for most domestic sugar, are now a big part GMO. > > Whatever type I had gave me very severe diarrhoea > > Jane > > I believe the original xylitol was made from birch.
