"I switched to Truvia ... widely available..."

.

I am using erythritol - (which is like Xylitol) an alcohol sugar (byproduct of fermentation)
with no side effects.

I also use monk fruit extract - all natural - it is sweet
but the sweetness of it is NOT from sucrose (like sugar). I also use stevia extract - from the leaves of the stevia plant.

Likewise, it is sweet without containing sucrose.
The human digestive system doesn't recognize the sweeteners in them -
and just passes them along.

There also are blends of of monk fruit / stevia and erythritol
which are both available in my supermarket and they are what I use:

Good Luck!

Real sugar is the original plant based sweetener.

“I also use stevia extract - from the leaves of the stevia plant.”

That’s the same plant, from Central America, that Truvia comes from.
