Yea, we like Swerve better than Stevia. Truvia is even better but, you get 2 carbs a serving with Truvia. So some mornings, stevia in the coffee(0 carbs), but some mornings, ahhhh you just want some thing sweeter! Also, Truvia has their brown at 3 carbs. Angie will make coffee with Truvia brown, cinnamon sticks, truly a treat! 

I switched over to Xylosweet which is from Xylitol--it has zero carbs and zero fat. Since I switched it in our sugar bowl--my husbands blood sugar has come down significantly and he has no clue, there is no aftertaste with this product and its also a natural form of sugar :) 

Xylosweet, haven't seen that yet. May have to try next! THX! 

I've used Swerve (and a similar product, Pyure) and they both taste great. For me, though, they both have a mild laxative effect. @Dollbaby, xylitol has a fairly high glycemic index, just a little less than agave nectar. Erythriol is much better, and is what's in Swerve and Pyure. 

Thank you for your replies! I think I'll end up trying swerve first the laxative effect sounds scary but I figure if I'm using mostly for coffee and a little in oatmeal it'll be okay.
