The problem with monk fruit is that while it seems relatively benign on its own, many/most commercial products that claim to be "sweetened with monk fruit extract" actually have other cheaper commercial sweeteners mixed in. If you google "monk fruit extract diarrhea" theres a good amount out there on this. So you may switch to monk fruit thinking its a better alternative but actually be consuming erythritol anyway.
