here in USA comes from corn.
However, even before I went GF, I identified this ingredient as a huge
GI disrupter for me. And I don't know why, but it makes me very ill.
It is the main ingredient in Barium Xray contrast media. It is also in a product
for people who have G-tubes called Thick-it.
If it is down on the ingredient list like in the flavorings section, it doesn't bother me. But if it is FIRST like with NutraSweet or Splenda, well, that is not so good.
It gives me the Big D. It is a laxative bomb for me.
So others out there may be sensitive to it. Another hidden laxative is
sorbitol, so watch out for that baby too!
