Watch out IBS folks: contains xylitol
This product, a chewable, contains the sugar alcohol sweetener xylitol to try to make it taste better. I think this is a bad choice by the manufacturer because people with IBS will react poorly to this additive. From the xylitol article on healthline.com: "Xylitol is categorized as a sugar alcohol... The sugar alcohols can pull water into your intestine or get fermented by gut bacteria... If you have irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) or an intolerance to FODMAPs, be careful with sugar alcohols and consider avoiding them altogether."
