Is Erythritol Low FODMAP?
CautionSometimes. Erythritol is better absorbed than other sugar alcohols, making it less likely to trigger IBS symptoms in those sensitive to polyols. However, research suggests it may increase fructose malabsorption, which may trigger IBS symptoms in some sensitive individuals.
Erythritol and the Low FODMAP Diet
Erythritol is a sugar alcohol, also known as a polyol, that is used as a low-calorie sweetener. It occurs naturally in some fruits and fermented foods and is produced commercially by fermenting glucose with yeast. Erythritol is about 60-70% as sweet as sucrose (table sugar) but has almost no calories and does not raise blood sugar levels, which makes it popular for use in sugar-free and low-calorie products.
