Q. You recently had a question about gas from a type 2 diabetes patient. I don’t have diabetes, but I have had a similar problem.
I have found that sugar substitutes (sucralose and fructose) cause me trouble. Since this person is probably using these sugar substitutes, this could well be the problem.
A. Sugar substitutes, including sorbitol and mannitol, may be indigestible for some people and lead to gas and loose stools.
