VitaFiber IMO (isomalto-oligosaccharide) and FiberYum syrups and powders are now available at reasonable prices thru Amazon. Have any of you tried these products? Did they upset your stomach?
Although I'm being careful to avoid sweet foods, there are just some things that need a little sweetening! So far I have tried and been unable to tolerate ANY sugar alcohols and sucralose (Splenda), which are in virtually every "sugar free" product out there -- I can't even chew a piece of sugar-free gum without stomach upset. Then there's stevia, which tastes so bad it makes me gag. Aspartame is ok but it's hard to find in products other than sodas.
Plus inulin, another Fiber that's added to a lot of foods, seems to mess up my stomach too. And I'm wonderin gif this "isomalto-oligosaccharide" in VitaFiber and FiberYum is related?
