sugar alcohols (maltitol, xylitol etc.- the sweeteners) Are they just as bad for gut candida & lyme as normal sugar?

I feel it when I take any sweetner. Almost everything I have read seems to show that it goes by personal reaction to those chemicals.

If I eat sugar I will pay stomache wise but I need something sweet so i do eat malitol,splendor.Its not good for you but it keeps me sane,I try not to eat to much of it,if i do I get bloated but no yeast problems or D.Josephs cookies are pretty good and have very few ingrediants,the good ones are chocalate chip,peacan shortbread.Ive been eating sugar free mint malanos,oh man are they good.As for me I need a treet but it has to be in moderation.

Thanks for your replies . I too eat sugar free chocolate as treats, but try not to overdo it though. Was just concerned I might be feeding all the bugs at the same time?!

Interesting about Xylitol - not being used by Candida. - As Sandy asked does anyone know if this is the same for other sugar alcohols - maltitol, isomalt & splenda?

I think malitol is a problem....but not sure. All I know is that if I overdo the sugar free candy or ice cream .... I'm back to the yeast.

I bought a cook book lately "feast Without yeast" It says you can bake with a little honey. I use a fraction of the honey reccomended in the recipes.Raw organic honey. Every once in a while I need a special treat.This hasn't effected my yeast problems. Can't live without an occational Yum Yum take care dana

hi dana - you sound a good cook? i'll give the honey a try next time i bake (i normally use splenda)
i regularly eat Atkins advantage candy bars - they contain glycerin, polydextrose & splenda. does anyone know if these ingredients are all bad for candida too?

Stevia is another alternative. It is herbal, comes in many forms. Do a google search and find lots of info. It is natural.
