Sugar Alcohols Ruined My Health: Learn from My Mistakes

Sabine Hossenfelder was told that I have irritable bowel syndrome. But I then learned by sheer coincidence that most of my symptoms were instead caused by food additives collectively known as "sugar alcohols". Since I have cut sugar alcohols out of my diet, my symptoms have almost entirely disappeared. If you have irritable bowel syndrome (or have been told you have it), I suggest you try cutting out sugar alcohols. You will know within two days or so whether that was the cause of the problem.

A list of sugar alcohols including their classification numbers in Europe is: Sorbitol (E 420), Mannitol (E 421), Isomalt (E 954), Maltitol and Maltitol Sirup (E 965), Lactitol (E 966), Maltitol and Maltitol Sirup (E 965), Xylitol (E 967), Erythritol (E 967)
