Note about this food
xylitol is poorly absorbed, our gut bacteria rapidly ferment it, which leads to Irritable Bowel Syndrome symptoms FODMAP: this is a polyol (sugar alcohol), a FODMAP that is poorly absorbed and ferments in the gut, often causing bloating and a laxative effect. Even small amounts in sugar-free products can be high FODMAP.
