User Reviews for xylitol

PLEASE add DANGER TO DOGS to your description. Even the FDA recognizes this extreme toxicity--hypoglycemic seizures in dogs who ingest even small amounts!. Our family has happily used Spry gum for years, with no problems. But we stopped when we got a dog, to make sure we didn't accidentally poison her if she found some within reach.

Began using xylitol due to wanting a sugar substitute that tasted a lot like sugar, & had no after taste, & had other healthy benefits. I did read about xylitol before using it. I paid attention to the part that a person should start off slowly using it. Example, to use one tsp in your coffee at first, then bit by bit introducing xylitol into one’s diet. I did not have any problems with using it to sweeten my ice tea, coffee or using it in a berry pie to replace all sugar. My sister on the other hand is much more gut sensitive and had to take baby steps in introducing her system to xylitol or she would have a lot of time in the bathroom. All in all xylitol is awesome, and I recommend your using it! Btw, it doesn’t take as much xylitol to sweeten my tea as sugar, and it doesn’t spike your blood sugar levels! Plus, after a few days I didn’t seem to crave sweet things as much! Since using it my rhinitis is not as often or as intense, & if I need to I take a wild oregano pill & bam, no problem with my allergies or sinus! I love xylitol, and grateful to understand how to use it! Read More Read Less

Dropped my blood sugar levels!!!! Used three days!!! Weeks of seeing a endocrinologist smh!!

My daughter told me about Xylitol Birch sugar substitute for Keto type diet. I just use it for hot coffee and cream and hot tea. It is so good to the taste and much like sugar by the teaspoon. Readily available at Walmart type stores.

Caution, if you have a sensitivity to artificial sweeteners like I do, stay away from this substance. I was violently sick for two days and continue to get nauseous every time I eat something sweet...now over a week since using a low dose to treat a sinus blockage. My instincts tell me this is a dangerous substance with long lasting side effects for those who are sensitive to artificial sweeteners.

I have been suffering from Heart Palpitations over the last 5 days from several days of 2-minute long gargling with a mouthwash that had Xylitol in it. How do I know? Well Splenda (Sucralose), another artificial sweetener did the same thing. At that time when I had the Splenda reaction, I went to the Doctor and he said that some artificial sweeteners can throw off the electrical rhythm of your heart. Plus the mouthwash was the only new thing I introduced to my diet. I am sure this is a rare symptom - I have seen only a few reports of people associating it with this, but it really sucks when it happens to you. Read More Read Less

I have a very dry mouth during the night which this corrects. Easy to use.

It caused a large abscess on my gum, it happened pretty quickly. I have only used it about for about 3 months. I hope it can be reversed. I have top dental care and the abscess is huge. Please put a warning on this product.

I wake up by coughing badly, never happened to me before I starting using this product. I think that before it melts completely it turns smaller and smaller until the little chunks are barley attached to your gums. Those chunks can't hold to the gums anymore and break off, when they do, they go to your airways (not stomach). Probably more so, if you are snoring. That would explain the severity of the cough and the timing (5:30, 6:00 AM). I use disks before I go to bed. I love these tables otherwise, my mouth is not dry when I wake up, it feels moist and sweet. Yet, the cough is bothering me. A feeling of slightly heavy chest too. It goes away quickly, and they say on the box that is is OK to breath it in accidentally as it will melt away inside your lungs. Still, they don't say if it is harmless over a long period of time. Let's say you'd rather cough a bit than have a dry mouth, but what if it damages your lungs over 1-3 year of usage. That concerns me. What are your thoughts? Read More Read Less

IT ATE my gums!! Let large abscessed area on one side and red raw eaten up area on the other side. Something nasty is in them to eat my gums. This wasn't listed as a possible side effect yet I see others having issues as well. I just read here about several people developing a cough. I have that too! Didn't think it could be from the melts. Throat is sore as well on one side. Never again.

I suffer from dry mouth. I can't use this product it causes gastric upset.

I use Xylimelts lozenges for dry mouth. They work wonderfully well but I have developed a cough since using. The cough sometimes lasts half the night. I have been taking meds for the cough but don't like doing that. So, I am in a quandary as to whether to continue use or not.

I have developed an adverse action from xylitol in mouthwashes, dry mouth treatments, e.g., Xylimints, etc. Use of products with xylitol make my mouth very sore resulting in blister-like adhesions on the edge of my tongue.

Used for dry mouth. Worked well for that for about 2 months until I got a sore, inflamed mouth and swollen,dry lips. I quit taking it, things got worse and I went to an oral med. doc who gave me meds to clear things up. Since the Xylimelts worked so well, I tried them again just in case my mouth issue was a coincidence. Within two days, my mouth is sore again.
