Nurselady, you can buy erythritol in bulk - many people do. It's kind of pricey, though - 7ish per pound. It also has a cooling effect in the mouth, so it doesn't really work on it's own. Most combine erythritol with splenda, but you could combine it with something else.

Zcarb is a very conscientious company, Russel Stove, obviously, is not.

guess what .... :icondance :icondance :icondance I ate it ...the Zcarb dark chocolate bar and I liked it!!!!....very good!!! :joy :joy :joy I will actually go back to Walmart (after I take a valium) and buy some more!....it tasted like decent dark chocolate....and my tummy is absolutely fine!!! whoo hoo...I did not take a benadryl and no rash ...so who knows for now it is all good!!!! Thanks you guys!!!! I am going to have chocolate so all is right in the world...I even got my little chocolate high!!!.....Scott this one is for you!!! :hug :hug :hug

Hey, my dream job after I retire is as a WalMart Greeter. Don't laugh. Getting paid to be friendly, what more could a person want.

Don't know whether to congratulate you for finding a sweetner or not. you can get a list of erthyrisol sweetened foods and go from there. :yikes just remember as the Atkins icecream bars box says indulge responsibly. only eat one serving at a time.

Woo hoo!!!! I'm happy for you! :hug

Do you still feel fine today?

One candy bar doesn't prove it beyond a shadow of a doubt, but I don't think you're allergic to sucralose. I'm betting it's the bulking agent in the granular splenda, maltodextrin, that's giving you the rash.

Congratulations!

could be and who the heck cares I can eat this chocolate and I am happy!!! thank you thank you!!!....Chocolate is something I was longing for....and damn it was wonderful ...even the texture was really close to good chocolate!...so for my 2cents this is a score and I am still fine and you are probably right and I am humbling to your wisdom on this one!!!....
I am going to wait to find more sweetened stuff for now as this takes a huge effort on my part to obtain I am better off really wanting it pretty badly or I might be tempted to spoil it by eating too many sweets!!! thanks so much again!!!...

A WalMart Greeter Lynne good then you can get my chocolate fix and I do not have to go past you at all!!!!......
