Sugars that can cause Dumping Syndrome

Often, my patients use sugar substitutes to keep their calories in check AND keep from having #dumpingsyndrome. But...did you know that some of the newer sugar substitutes, sugar alcohols, can also cause dumping? Join Dr. Hodges as she discusses these newer sugar substitutes.
Please note as a correction/clarification:
Sugar alcohols include: sorbitol (found naturally in apples, pears, peaches and prunes), xylitol (found in sugar free gum and toothpaste), Erythritol (Truvia), and maltitol.
Stevia is a plant extract and NOT considered a sugar alcohol.
However...Truvia is made up of 3 components, a small component of the Stevia leaf, natural flavorings and Erythritol - a sugar alcohol. Truvia is marketed as a Stevia based sweetner but the primary ingredient is Erythritol, sugar alcohol. Because sugar alcohols are still carbs (just much lower content compared to table sugar), these can still lead to dumping if used in larger amounts!
Saccharin (Sweet N Low), Aspartame (Equal, NutraSweet) are artificial sweeteners that are also NOT sugar alcohols.

Thank you! I am 4.5 months past my whipple surgery (half of stomach removed) and this is very helpful. 🙏

Madamme you talk some good information. I think you need to look at why these alcohol sugars does the trick. My assumption from practical notes says these affect the stomach acidity levels lowering the ph and allowing the pyloric splinter to open.. the sugar alcohol liquid tincture herbals does the same thing also if not well diluted in water. This is important information for all. These sugar alcohols are causing acidic undigested chyme to move into dueodum and the trigger hormones and signals for pancreatic juices and little bile does not get involved. Leading to acidic chyme entering the soft tender small intestines and calling for h20 to come to the rescue. Hope your fans understand that avoidance of these substances are critical for fixing these issue.

I learnt maltitol gives you dumping syndrome the hard way. No more atkins bars for me

Stevia is not a sugar alcohol

I feel I have just experienced this condition despite being a healthy young adult. What can it mean?

[@ImiChitterman]

Too much sugar in your stomach and low stomach acidity levels.
