Do you mean specifically gluten free sugar free products or sugar free products in general?

[trb822]

Sweeteners in particular.

So, are you asking if artificial sweetners such as aspertame, sucralose, and sorbitol are gluten-free? Help us out here, we need more specifics about what you want to know about artificial sweetners. We aren't mind readers.

I have been a Celiac for years, but have not had to watch my sugar intake.  I have experienced side affects from using sugar substitutes such as monk fruit, erythritol based ones.  I was interested to see if anyone else have had the same experience?

Thanks for the additional information about what input you were seeking.

Artificial sugar substitutes like sucralose do not cause any issues for me. All the natural sugar substitutes like xylitol and sorbitol (all the "sugar-alcohols") give me the toots real bad, except for erythritol because erythritol is almost entirely absorbed before it gets to the colon. However, erythritol gives me loose stools if I use too much or use it too regularly. So, what I do with erythritol is use it half and half with real sugar. Monk fruit gives me gut aches sometimes.

Are you diabetic?

No pre diabetic, thus the reason I started the substitutes.

So, are you running into issues with sugar substitutes?

Yes, I was asking if anyone else had problems with it.
