Why People Avoid DiabetiSweet
People may avoid DiabetiSweet because it contains isomalt, a type of sugar alcohol known as a polyol. Polyols are known to be high in FODMAPs, and can lead to digestive issues such as bloating, gas, and diarrhea, especially when consumed in large amounts. Individuals following a low FODMAP diet, often recommended for those with IBS and other digestive disorders, may choose to avoid this ingredient to prevent triggering symptoms.
