Erythritol

Erythritol is a sugar alcohol found naturally in some fruits and fermented foods. It's poorly absorbed by the body and mostly excreted unchanged in the urine, meaning very little reaches breast milk. It is FDA-approved as GRAS and considered safe while breastfeeding. Large amounts can cause digestive discomfort (bloating, gas) in some people.

Always confirm with your doctor or lactation consultant before making dietary changes while breastfeeding.
