Navigating Sugar Alcohols on Keto Menus: A Sensitive Diner's Guide

Keto restaurants promise low-carb indulgence, but hidden sugar alcohols can spell digestive trouble for sensitive diners. Sugar alcohols like erythritol, xylitol, and maltitol are popular keto-friendly sweeteners... yet they trigger bloating, gas, and other discomforts for many. This guide helps you dine safely—without surprise symptoms.

Why Sugar Alcohols Lurk in Keto Dishes

Keto chefs rely on sugar alcohols to sweeten treats while keeping net carbs low. Common culprits include:

  • Desserts: Cheesecakes, fat bombs, and ice cream
  • Beverages: Flavored coffees and shakes
  • Sauces & Dressings: Low-sugar ketchup or vinaigrettes

These additives sneak into seemingly "safe" dishes, making menu scrutiny essential for sensitive stomachs.
