This is a legal requirement for all products containing polyols: erythritol, sorbitol, xylitol, mannitol, maltitol, and isomalt. Polyols can have laxative effects and cause gas. These effects occur because polyols are not completely absorbed in the intestine, and the portion that reaches the colon ferments, causing issues in some people. However, erythritol is different: about 90% is absorbed in the intestine, so only a very small amount reaches the colon. For most people, erythritol does not cause any problems. That said, in case of intestinal conditions such as SIBO, erythritol should be avoided until recovery.
