773755 tn?1328119777 how 'natural' are xylitol and stevia? they at the health food store assure me that it's natural :) sounds so artificial! tastes okay. i'm off glucose and sucrose for a couple weeks. this is to help restore some balance in my gut microbia. and it's working by the way! i must have my cup of tea! in fact it was the ONLY thing i looked forward to in the day, for a few dark months back there... weird huh. is one any better than the other?
Avatar n tn Since my MD told me I was prediabetic (109 fasting) I have cut out all sugar but I do eat fruit and use Xylitol and NutraSweet. However my blood sugar is now 116 fasting. Why and what can I do? I do not eat bread very often but I do eat oatmeal in the morning as I have to for IBS. Thank you.
Avatar n tn I recently developed pitting edema on the inner lateral side of my shin after consuming xylitol in my coffee creamed with powdered milk. I was also taking sugar free (aspartame) psyllium husk to aid digestion. The fiber product by itself never bothered me. Once I started taking the xylitol to sweeten my coffee, it was causing a lot of bloating gastric disturbances in my abdomen.
Avatar f tn If one is not allergic to birch, xylitol is supposed to be a safe alternative, too. But, beware of xylitol if you have pets. Xylitol is known to be toxic to pets. Dogs don't know it's poison to them and they will eat it.
5011734 tn?1362318973 A saline spray could help. But the one with Xylitol is probably better as although Xylitol is a sweetner made from a plant, it is also a natural antibiotic. The spray with Silver is also good. Believe it or not, Bromelain and MSM are also good for sinus pain. Don't know how they work, but they are natural.
975357 tn?1252704723 Hello~I can certainly understand your problem, I am sensitive to all kinds of additives, it is not fun. I use a terrific sweetener that has no side effects at all and is pure and great for diabetics and anyone wanting to watch their sugar intake; it is called "Xylitol" and it is found the fibers of many fruits and vegetables, including various berries, corn husks, oats, and mushrooms. It can be extracted from corn fiber, birch, raspberries, plums, and corn.
Avatar f tn •Chew sugar-free gum or suck on sugar-free hard candies to stimulate the flow of saliva. For some people, xylitol, which is often found in sugar-free gum or sugar-free candies, may cause diarrhea or cramps if consumed in large amounts. •Limit your caffeine intake because caffeine can make your mouth drier. •Don't use mouthwashes that contain alcohol because they can be drying. •Stop all tobacco use if you smoke or chew tobacco. •Sip water regularly.
Avatar n tn Oh! I know this one!! LOL!! It's not fun and YES, it's scarey as all get out because us thyroid peeps have to be extra careful what we take. There is a nasal spray called "XLear" and you'll find it in most drug stores or in health food stores. Just blow your nose good and then spray 2 squirts morning and night up your nose and sniff it in good. It's natural stuff and it has Xylitol in it... which germs can't handle at all.

Avatar n tn Stevia or Xylitol. Both natural sweeteners from plants, google it. Artificial Splenda is sucralose and it contains chlorine. No matter what they say, I would avoid it. It is currently even suspected to promote weight gain. Stick with nature.
Tbd sweeteners may be better - these include stevia, monkfruit, and sugar alcohols such as erithyritol and xylitol (some people have tummy problems from these - and note they are toxic for dogs).
Avatar f tn to use Xylitol in my sinus rinse. My nose feels dry, irritated, inflamed. No one is properly helping me. Yes I have bounced around to many specialists b/c I am looking for help! My own ENT has suggested I go put in to be on a tv show called Chasing a cure. It’s so odd to me these ENT’s are this clueless & most of them don’t follow protocol meaning swabbing & cultures. I have had white mucus in nose sometimes just white & sometimes with a little light yellow.
172023 tn?1334672284 s toothpaste I used three times a day was sweetened with xylitol made from birch bark. Apparently xylitol also occurs in fruits (raspberries and plums are mentioned most often), mushrooms, and corn. Maybe it was a coincidence, but I quit using the toothpaste and my reactions to fruit have mostly stopped, though I have to be careful not to eat too many raspberries.
684916 tn?1308686859 The best artificial sweetner I know of is called "Xylitol" it really is not artificial either. It is derived from the bark of a tree and it taste great. It is great for diabetics, actually even helps it, plus, it is also healthy for teeth as it helps prevent cavaties. As to the other sweetners, no way, stay away from them like the plague, they are NOT safe and some have some dangerous side effects.
Avatar n tn ll find that many of these berries, such as raspberries, for instance, have a natural chemical called Xylitol. This is the same natural chemical found in birch and is what you would find in a health food store as a natural sugar substitute. Since I know birch is a true allergy, I don't mess with xylitol natural sweetener, because it's often made from birch. I have histamine intolerance, so my GERD is aggravated by things like raspberries and blackberries.
2085202 tn?1373199740 I recently found out that Xylitol a substitute sweetner is also antibiotic and can help against the flu. Also black elderberry and gelsemium can be useful to relieve flu symptoms - taking a good multiple vitamin to raise your immunity won't hurt either.
Avatar f tn My LLND started me on a biofilm protocol of Lactoferrin and Xylitol. I know it sounds crazy but since starting this I've been herxing bad.
Avatar f tn Oh -one thing to be extremely careful about is -Do the Rolaids contain XYLITOL?? (artificial sweetener) If so, this is toxic for dogs, and if you haven't already taken him/her to the vet, do so immediately.
6443793 tn?1469746195 And some may contain artificial sweeteners which are actually toxic for dogs. Xylitol, for example, can be actually deadly for them.
