A member asked:
Do the stevia sweetener packets have any fiber or lactose in them, or any other ingredient that causes gas?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: There is no credible research that suggests 4 g or less of stevia causes long-term intestinal pain, although you may encounter gas or discomfort in the short-term. The average serving size of stevia is 1 tsp. Stinal-gas-or-diarrhea/#ixzz2b5kirhd2.
