Don't bother. Give up sugar largely except for treats and just get used to doing without.
Xylitol can cause bloating and diarrhoea. It. Is used medically in things like nasal sprays, so it is 'safe'.
If you need to wean yourself off of sugar it can take some time and effort! There is a lot of advice out there.
I take it as it was recommended by my dentist - but I did hear that it is poisonous to dogs.
Hi I'm making my own cakes with it as cakes have too much sugar in , I have no problem eating them and my children like them . Not sure if it's helping keep my cholesterol down should have a better idea in may 2016 this year
