I buy ours on Amazon. Here's what we use:

Just wanted to know if anyone else has the diarrhea from 100% stevia.
I use only 100% pure stevia powder and do not have this problem with it. I only use a tiny amount per day and have absolutely no negative effects from using it.

I have never tried Stevia so don't know how it effects me.
I don't use anything with sugar alcohols in them because they all cause diarrhea even Erythritol. Most artificial sweeteners cause headaches.
I'm anxious to find out about Andrew's new baking product like his Sucress when it comes out. It will have Stevia & Glycine in it so don't know how it will effect me either.

Andrew says his new Sucress does not leave an after taste. Will see what the reviews say when they start coming in.

One benefit of erythritol is that, because most of it is absorbed by the small intestine it does not typically cause some of the unfortunate laxative effects that are associated with other sugar alcohols.
Erythritol is also considered a natural ingredient as it is found naturally in some fruits and other foods.
It causes diarrhea in me. LOL!!! I just tried the Built Bars which have Erythritol in them. I only ate 3 bites.

I haven't used Stevia. I definitely cannot eat anything with the sugar alcohols.

@Nightowlz, could it be another ingredient? I don't know what exactly is in Fiber One bars, but I've heard more than a couple of people say they can't eat those, but I never had a problem with them. I have hypothyroidism which one of the symptoms is constipation, so diarrhea is rarely a problem for me. In fact, I add whole flax seeds to my morning yogurt to help keep things moving. I know it works since if I stop doing it things start backing up.
