What are the maximum acute and daily doses of erythritol for adults and children to avoid gastrointestinal effects?

Stay tuned for Update on Erythritol Sweetener Safety: Are There Side Effects? (https://nutritionfacts.org/video/update-on-erythritol-sweetener-safety-are-there-side-effects), my next video, where I detail a recent study that raised safety concerns. *SPOILER ALERT: DON'T EAT ERYTHRITOL* 

The previous erythritol videos I mentioned are Erythritol vs. Xylitol for Preventing Cavities (Tooth Decay) (https://nutritionfacts.org/video/erythritol-vs-xylitol-for-preventing-cavities-tooth-decay) and Erythritol May Be a Sweet Antioxidant (https://nutritionfacts.org/video/erythritol-may-be-a-sweet-antioxidant/).

The case report about the flight attendant’s sorbitol side effect is in Does Chewing Gum Help with Weight Loss? (https://nutritionfacts.org/video/does-chewing-gum-help-with-weight-loss/).

This is part of my new research on sweeteners. A couple of months ago, I released some videos on allulose: Does the Sweetener Allulose Have Side Effects? (https://nutritionfacts.org/video/does-the-sweetener-allulose-have-side-effects/) and Is Allulose a Healthy Sweetener? (https://nutritionfacts.org/video/is-allulose-a-healthy-sweetener/).
