If sugar alcohols are causing bowel irritation, it may be worth avoiding all fermentable oligosaccharides, disaccharides, monosaccharides, and polyols. These are known as FODMAPs and are common in may fruits and vegetables which are all healthy foods for those who are able to digest them without issue.

Keeping a healthy diet while avoiding them is extremely difficult, so if they are not causing irritation, avoiding them will likely do more harm than good. Excessive amounts, or a sudden increase in intake, can cause issues for anyone, so changes in diet, especially from an unhealthy diet to one high in fresh fruits and vegetables, may be best done gradually.
