Swerve Sugar Replacement Reviews?

I don't really use the brown sugar Swerve except for baking. My preferred sugar replacement is the Swerve Confectioners. I rarely use the granulated version. I've tried Pyure. It's just OK to me. I much prefer Swerve.

I eat mostly keto and limit sweeteners but I like Lakanto best.

Seriously, Swerve gives me the shits and makes my mouth taste cold.

Swerve makes anything I eat or drink after it taste sweet. I thought that something had been added to my water because it tasted so sweet- it was gross! I could not figure it out, I thought it might be an after affect of the Swerve so I googled it and that's a thing that happens to some people. I gave it to my mom and told her to try it.

But, I did like the flavor of it in the thing I baked. If it weren't for that I'd still use it. It bakes better than Splenda I think.

It really varies according to personal preference and can take some trial and error. It's too bad there isn't a sampler kit of several popular options.

This is the stevia I like to use, but I usually drink iced coffee.

I can't do sugar alcohols. Gives me tummy troubles. 😭I like the stevia from Mommy Knows Best

Same.

I buy Swerve granulated and confectioner's sugars and keep them on hand for keto baking, but they are not that great imo. I think they are VERY sweet and give off that fake sugar taste (and I'm pretty addicted to sugar, so for me to say it's extra-sweet well....)

I have used swerve but my favorite is trim healthy mama gentle sweet. You can buy it on their website (and amazon, buy it’s considerably cheaper on the website if you are also ordering other products that make up for the shipping). Or you can find a recipe on Pinterest. It is a combo of xylitol, erythritol and stevia extract.

Some stevia products are blends and some are pure stevia extract. IMO, stevia is better in some uses than others. I like pure Stevia extract in drinks and to sweeten yogurt. But not in baking.

I have had that sweet aftertaste and cold feeling with certain sweeteners as well. I think it is either the erythritol or xylitol, and the amounts used in the blend.

Ha ha, that name is cracking me up, because with both of those sugar alcohols, it would be anything but gentle--more like colon blow.

Malitol (which is what is in most sugar free candy) is known to be irritating to the digestive system but erythritol and xylitol not as much.  I would think that sugar free candy that you ate years ago was not sweetened with erythritol and xylitol.  Those two are considered on-plan by THM because they apparently don't cause problems with your blood sugar that other sugar alcohols and artificial sweeteners can.  It can be difficult to find products that don't contain the other sugar alcohols, but erythritol is becoming more mainstream.  I can't handle Malitol at all.  I made cookies with sugar free chocolate chips (containing malitol) last year and my whole family had horrible gas, just from the minimal amount in the cookies.  I will never use them again.  I don't have the same problem with erythritol, xylitol or stevia.  But everyone is different. 

Xylitol is death for me. I just make it a practice never to ingest anything ending in -tol.

I've never heard of Swerve, but I wonder if they have been advertising well for all of you guys to know about it? Meaning it's not the best out there, but the most popular trending?

I use Ideal xylitol sweetener in my baked goods. And stevia drops in tea. I haven't used white sugar in many years for calorie counts. But now I'm reading a book on preventing cancer and it says that sugar feeds cancer and you have to absolutely cut it out of your diet.
