Depleted gut microbes following antibiotics and high-fat diets might lead to sorbitol intolerance, states a new study.

In a new study, scientists from the University of California identify sorbitol, a chemical found in sugar-free products, as causing indigestion and stomach pain

Chewing gum and other sugar-free foods like apples, avocadoes, and pears contain a sugar-alcohol called sorbitol that can make you pass gas. A new study found there is a way to stop this side effect.

Eating the combo could be a fast track to an tummy ache.

Scientists have found that Clostridia bacteria in the gut digest the sorbitol in sugar-free gum, so anything that disrupts these bacteria can lead to gas.

Scientists at the UC Davis School of Medicine may have figured out why some people have trouble digesting sorbitol, a sugar alcohol used in sugar-free gum, mint

Disruptions to the gut microbiome could explain why sorbitol, a common sugar substitute, sends some people straight to the bathroom.
