Sorbitol
SORBITOL
Overview
Sorbitol is a type of sugar alcohol that is naturally found in fruits like apples, pears, and peaches. Itâs often used as a sweetener in foods, drinks, and medicines. Though it tastes sweet, it has fewer calories than regular sugar.
Classification
Laxative
Uses
Used as a sugar substitute in sugar-free products like chewing gum, candy, and toothpaste.
Acts as a laxative to relieve occasional constipation.
Added to medicines as a thickener or moisture-retainer.
How It Works
When taken by mouth, sorbitol draws water into the intestines, which helps soften the stool and makes it easier to pass. As a sweetener, it gives a sweet taste but doesnât spike blood sugar levels as much as regular sugar.
Dosage
As prescribed by your doctor.
Side effects
Common: Gas, bloating, mild stomach cramps.
Less Common: Diarrhea (especially in large amounts), nausea.
Rare: Allergic reaction (rash, itching, swellingâseek help if this happens).
Precautions
People with diabetes should still use it carefully, as it can affect blood sugar levels a little.
Should be avoided or limited in people with fructose intolerance, as it can cause stomach upset.
Not recommended in large quantities because it can lead to gas, bloating, or diarrhea.
If pregnant, breastfeeding, or on other medications, consult a doctor before using.
