I have given up on any sugarfree product, except Splenda. All of the others can act like laxatives to me. I use real sugar but only eat a very small amount.

Unfortunately with short bowel syndrome I have to avoid simple sugars including sugar, honey, agave and similar products. Simple sugars do not allow my remaining intestine to absorb fluid rather it pulls fluid into the intestine whi*****reases diarrhea. I do have to avoid the artificial sweeteners (or limit) that have a laxative effect. These are typically the ones ending in "ol" (sorbitol, xylitol, etc).
