Do sugar substitutes cause dumping

[elcee 3,342]

Just wondering if the substitutes such as Stevia also cause dumping?

[KimTriesRNY 1,853]

I have used truvia and stevia. I’ve never had issues with either.

[SleeveinIL 386]

I have not had any issues with Stevia.

Nor did I with Monkfruit!

Just watch out for the sugar alcohols in a lot of the frankenfood on the market labeled sugar free. These can cause dumping in anyone with or without surgery. For some hilarious reading on Amazon look up sugar free Gummy bears. I use liquid splenda and liquid stevia with no problems.

It depends really, it's pretty personal, not everyone is effected the same way. I haven't had much issues with Stevia and other alternatives, high levels of sugar alcohols case some discomfort, but I haven't had any classic dumping from any substitutes.

I learnt about those a long long time ago. I went to movies and filled a cup with the sugar free gummies thinking it was better than eating the standard ones. They weren’t in a packet and i don’t think there was any kind of warning on them, if there was I must have chosen to ignore it.

Well a couple of hours later I thought I was going to die. The pain was incredible.

That is one experience I never intend repeating. The lesson was well learnt.

Unfortunately I don't get dumping so I wouldn't know about the sugar substitutes. Sugar alcohols leave a bad taste in my mouth so I stay away from those. If I eat too much sugar I'll kind of feel icky but it's not the typical dumping symptoms. I found a great Sugar Free Chocolate substitute that doesn't have sugar alcohols either and it really tastes good. It's ChocZero's Keto Bark and can be found on Amazon. Good alternative, especially since my appetite may have gone away, my sweet tooth apparently has not.

I use a sugar substitute that uses Stevia & Monk Fruit. Handled that just fine

[Brttnyj89 30]

I use Stevia In the Raw and have never had any issues!

Also check what they recommend as a serving size. Mannitol is a sugar substitute also use for its laxative properties. Which I know first hand.

Late MIL favorite mint was Velamints, she would eat them and eat them and then you could locate her in just one place, yeah and she would say " I just don't know why I am going SO MUCH?" I did!
