Has anyone used the sweetener Truvia and what did you think?

1 Answer

Answer :

I haven’t used it but it contains Erythritol and I have tried another sweetener that contained that ingredient. I couldn’t stay off the toilet. Apparently it’s a sugar alcohol and can cause diarrhea. I know it did for me. I use pure Stevia from Trader Joe’s and I love it. It doesn’t seem to have any side effects either. It’s a plant extract that’s been around for hundreds of years.
