The problem with monk fruit is that while it seems relatively benign on its own, many/most commercial products that claim to be "sweetened with monk fruit extract" actually have other cheaper commercial sweeteners mixed in.

If you google "monk fruit extract diarrhea" theres a good amount out there on this.

So you may switch to monk fruit thinking its a better alternative but actually be consuming erythritol anyway.

Ans that’s why I said “without the other stuff mixed in”.
