Do You Feel Bloated After Using Stevia?

Though side effects of stevia use are somewhat uncommon, since all individuals are different, side effects can vary from individual to individual. Varying individuals using stevia have noted a feeling of bloating after introducing stevia into one’s diet.

Bloating is commonly referred to as an unusual swelling to the stomach region; consequently an individual may feel as their stomach is expanding.  Though there is no current evidence to support the theory that stevia may cause bloating, as all people are different, individuals may react to differing sweeteners in different ways.

It is suggested that if you happen to feel bloating when using stevia, consider cutting back on the amount of stevia you use per day, in an attempt to try to determine a level that will enable your body to stay in balance.  Though, others have found that with time the side effects tend to ease.  Some individuals feel that the side effects can be attributed to withdrawals of not using sugar or chemical sweeteners.  It’s always best to consult a physician with any concerns related to introducing stevia into one’s diet.
