Guest guest Posted March 5, 2009 Report Share Posted March 5, 2009 Hi I have been using xylitol for nearly a year now. I buy it as Perfect Sweet from www.victoriahealth.com or Sainsburys. It is great stuff. I also use a little unrefined organic sugar as well. B Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted March 5, 2009 Report Share Posted March 5, 2009 ***Not everyone can eat xylitol - it can cause diarrhoea in small amounts for some (me!).... Thank you Val - much obliged ! You just solved a mystery for me and saved me from taking yet another Fluconazole prematurely ((LOL)). Inspired by all this talk about Xylitol yesterday reminded me that I still had some in the cupboard - so instead of tucking into one of those forbidden sugared fruit yoghurts, I liberally sprinkled Xylitol over a big helping of plain bio-yoghurt (can't bear the stuff neat) and ate that instead... and very nice it was too, doubly so, since I did not have to feel guilty ! When I got wind - to put it mildly - which lasted all afternoon and evening (sorry ladies and gents), I never associated it with the xylitol and I was so puzzled as to what might have caused it. My gut has been so good recently - no more IBS... and now THAT! I wondered what on earth might have brought back a bout of Candida - I swallowed an extra ThreeLac and damn nearly took yet another Fluconazole, but held off - my liver thanketh you At least now I know..... to eat Xylitol only when not in company of anyone other than my dog ((LOL)) Love, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know how prices and/or quality compare to stevia bought in the UK, but there is a website (location Berlin) that sells the highly concentrated Stevia, which is called Steviosid extra - and it's top quality (without the bitter aftertaste). Buying it from them is however a bit of a problem, because its a small shop and they only accept payment in Euros (no cards). When I bought it from them, I did it over the phone and risked sending Euros in an envelope up front, and once she had received it, the woman who runs the shop sent me the goodies. I bought the 52 g one for 25 Euros, which has lasted me over a year so far. http://www.steviavertrieb.de/s_Produkt/s_produkt.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted March 6, 2009 Report Share Posted March 6, 2009 I thought that most people got used to it? Maybe not, then, which is a shame. I don't mind being a bit looser - that solves one of my problems, anyway! (Sorry, that was probably TMI.) All the best, > > Hi a, > > Not everyone can eat xylitol - it can cause diarrhoea in small amounts for some (me!). Also it is dangerous for dogs in tiny amounts, so it can't be that safe.

Guest guest Posted March 6, 2009 Report Share Posted March 6, 2009 I just wish it work for me, it does absolutely nothing, similarly liquorice and single dose laxatives - I am going for a lymphatic massage and colonic irrigation, I desperately want to lose at least 1.5 stone before I go see my kids and before my Ruby wedding anniversary (the same time) so I may well have to overdose on xylitol and hope that it works LOL.

Guest guest Posted March 6, 2009 Report Share Posted March 6, 2009 Just to remind everybody that xylitol is very dangerous to animals - so whatever you do, make sure it is kept high up away from their reach.

Guest guest Posted March 6, 2009 Report Share Posted March 6, 2009 --- In thyroid treatment , I have been on xyitol for just under week. Yesterday I felt dreadful like I had flu and stomach upset. Could this be the sugar addiction symtom or could it be yeast in my body dying off? I have never been tested for candida.Has anyone else had this? > but I did the spit test ages ago and it did have legs. I feel much better today thank goodness paula > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted June 16, 2009 Report Share Posted June 16, 2009 > > Hi bee, > > I searched the files for info on Xylitol. it doesn't say specifically why Xylitol is contraindicated for Candida. I'd like to know since I'm hearing that Xylitol is actually anti-fungal and inhibits yeast growth. +++Hi . Xylitol, Sorbitol, Malititol, & Mannitol, also called sugar alcohols or polyols, are actually neither sugar nor alcohol and are classified as a carbohydrate. Erythritol is a newer sugar alcohol to America. Xylitol is manufactured by extracting xylan from birch wood or corn cobs, and reacting it with water to produce xylose or " wood sugar. " NOTE: Hydrogen (H2) is then added to make 'Xylitol.' Studies have proved it induces mutations to enzymes in the body. Bee Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted September 10, 2009 Report Share Posted September 10, 2009 > > Is Xylitol acceptable in place of stevia? > Also is whey (from kefir) ok to make LF vegies? > +++Hi there. What is your name please? No, Xylitol is not okay to use in place of stevia. Xylitol, Sorbitol, Malititol, & Mannitol, also called sugar alcohols or polyols, are actually neither sugar nor alcohol and are classified as a carbohydrate, and they are all processed products. Erythritol is a newer sugar alcohol to America. Xylitol is manufactured by extracting xylan from birch wood or corn cobs, and reacting it with water to produce xylose or " wood sugar. " NOTE: Hydrogen (H2) is then added to make 'Xylitol.' Studies have proved it induces mutations to enzymes in the body. You mean lacto-fermented veggies. Whey contains too much natural sugar (lactose) which feeds candida. Kefir also contains alcohol. Bee Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted October 30, 2010 Report Share Posted October 30, 2010 This is off topic, but I made some GFCF chocolate cookies with the sugar alternative Xylitol, and my child had projectile throw-up about an hour after consumption. We just saw a dietician who recommended this sugar substitute, saying it wasn't an artificial sweetener, but a sweet tasting part of the Birch Tree. It is also supposed to have antifungal properties. Anyone else have this experience with Xylitol?? Pam Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted October 30, 2010 Report Share Posted October 30, 2010 I tried it as well and it gave me the runs something terrible. So I use honey in all my baking now. I don't trust any of the sugar substitutes anymore. I would probably use sugar but reduce the quantity in the recipe, and just give cookies less often.

Guest guest Posted October 30, 2010 Report Share Posted October 30, 2010 It would be great if xylitol didn't have any side effects when consumed, but it sounds similar to an artificial sweetener. I guess the best alternative to sugar now would be honey because it's a monosaccaride which is more easily absorbed in the gut. Xylitol sounded great.. sweet, not artifical and an antifungal. Wow! Too good to be true and it apparently was.

Guest guest Posted October 30, 2010 Report Share Posted October 30, 2010 You need to use xylitol in small amounts because it can cause diarrhea and stomach aches as a result of slow absorption from the intestine. Diabetics use it because its low GI, but using too much can cause hypoglycemia. Im not of its antifungal properties, but it doesnt feed yeast. Its supposed to be a 1:1 sugar conversion, but my mother uses about half that (my dad is diabetic), due to the laxative effect and my dad finds it to be sweeter than sugar.

Guest guest Posted October 30, 2010 Report Share Posted October 30, 2010 the only issue we have had with it, is too much can cause loose poops. Otherwise we have no problems. We mix it with sugar (cane) so it's about 1/2 of the sugar. nancy j.
