@thesimpledate: You wanted chocolate. Now you need to undo the elastic on your joggers. 🙃 If zero-sugar chocolate leaves you bloated, check what’s doing the sweetening. Erythritol, maltitol, sorbitol… those are sugar alcohols. And depending on which one and how much you eat, your stomach might have some gassy feedback. Here’s why: some sugar alcohols aren’t fully absorbed. They draw water into your gut, and gut bacteria break down what’s left, making gas. Hence the bloating, cramps, and sometimes a very urgent bathroom trip. Erythritol is absorbed better than many others, so it generally causes less gas. But enough of it can still cause digestive upset and diarrhea—the European Food Safety Authority confirmed that in its review. This is why we went with dates at The Simple Date. Chocolate sweetened with dates. No refined sugar. No sugar alcohols. Yes, dates contain sugar. We’re very upfront about that. So if sugar alcohols don’t agree with you, ours leaves those out. Your next date could use a better ingredient list. 😏🍫 #DateSweetenedChocolate #NoSugarAlcohols #ChocolateLovers #CanadianChocolate #TheSimpleDate
