13Gums
Gums are loaded with sugar alcohols, which give them sweetness. These typically include mannitol, sorbitol, as well as xylitol. They tend to trigger some digestive issues, including diarrhea, bloating, and gas, because they would reach your large intestine without being affected. This means bacteria in your gut cannot feed on and digest them. Thus, avoid taking in a high amount of sugar alcohol. Instead, go for products with erythritol, which can be easier for your digestive system. [13]
