I get frustrated too. I avoid aspartame/sucralose/etc... then it turns out they have stevia/monk fruit extract/etc

oh, and there are some other ones that you might want to avoid.

A low FODMAP diet would cut out not only fructose, but lactose and the -itols like sorbitol, xylitol, and mannitol

Don't holiday in Spain or other countries that highly tax sugars. It's itols and aspartame all the way. I literally paniced when I realized I cant/wont eat like 90% or the packaged food in each individual store chain.

The -itols just shouldn't be allowed in food. Consume too much and you best not be out in public.
