    * I am still on the fence about this product. I used it in a test to make pudding seem “richer.” I also used it to make whipped cream without fat. It worked, and I want to like it. However, the gastrointestinal side-effects have been overwhelming. Considering that I also tried other products, I am not sure which is causing the pain, bloating, and gas. Ouch.

    * I am interested in nutrition and health and how our diet affects this. I have a blog about these things. One of the most important things i have discovered is the importance of water soluble fiber in our diet. I discuss this at https://letswakeupfolks.blogspot.com/2016/06/fiber-facts.html. I have been able to write and give talks about the importance of this. I find Poly D to be a perfect supplement. We need at least a tablespoon in our our diet each day.

    * It’s probably fine for most people but I’m one of the unlucky ones where it causes severe intestinal distress. The bloating and diarrhea were so severe that I had to take time off work. In general, I don’t have stomach issues with anything so I really could not recommend this with a good conscience.

    * I write a blog on health and nutrition and have found that the health of our bacteria is a key thing for our overall health. PolyD type water soluble fibers are important as a supplement. I give talks on this and advise the use of fiber supplements. My blog, is letswakeupfolks.blogspot.com.

    The blogs on bacteria and fiber are important and describe the why and how to do this.

    * Purchased this product to use in homemade low carb, low sugar ice cream. It worked to help keep the ice cream from getting rock hard and provided a texture similar to that of real sugar. However, it has a bitter aftertaste similar to that of stevia. I have used other polydextrose that did not have the bitter aftertaste.

    * I hesitate to state I recommend this product. It gives many people terrible cramping and gas. Luckily, it doesn't bother me. It adds great texture to baked goods, almost as if you had used real sugar. Keep in mind, you do have to add more sweetener for the correct flavor.

    * Adds excellent texture when making low carb pancakes and other baked goods. It also lasts quite a long time. The only negative is that it can harden up on you over time - I do plan to use this up much faster this time.

    * I love this polydextrose. I use it as a bulk filler to replace sugar when baking. I also use it to make sf jellies and simple syrup. This item is difficult to find and I'm very happy and grateful Netrition still carries it for purchasing. Thank you Netrition! I don't know what I'd do without it!

    * The addition of the PolyD into my lo carb chocolate cookies, made all the difference in the texture of the cookies. This is a fabulous product. Just ordered 4 more bags and the price is exceptional.

    * I mix this with Erythritol and either stevia or Ez-Sweetz. Really helps improve texture - fantastic in ice cream. I'm able to make delicious homemade jam using Pomona's pectin and its just like sugar sweetened except I can adjust the sweetness to my taste. Just be careful to mix it thoroughly with your dry ingredients or add very slowly with a whisk to liquid and then heat. It absorbs moisture from the air very quickly - have an airtight storage container available. Haven't had any digestive issues.

    * I use 2/3 PolyD and 1/3 Erythritol to replace the bulk of sugar and add 0 calorie sweetener (90% liquid sucralose and 10% acesulfame potassium) to make it sweet.

    * Poly-D has really added an extra dimension to my low carb goodies. I especially like to add it to my frozen treats like smoothies and slushies. In addition to the added fiber it keeps the ice smooth instead of chunky, really like a professionally made sugar type drink.It also replaces the bulk that regular sugar provides in baked goods and jams so when I make these products they truly are as good or better than sugar laden products or sugar free store bought versions.

    * I love this stuff, it has really made a very positive difference in the texture of baked goods. I use it half and half with other sweeteners. Worth every penny. Especially for muffins and scones.

    * I love this stuff. I made some completely awesome strawberry jam with it. The consistency is like full sugar jam. I also made a really good pecan pie with it. google recipe for poly d "corn syrup" and here is the jam recipe: 1 cup crushed strawberries, 1/2 t. lemon juice, 1/2 cup polyd, 1/2 cup sugar equivalent sugar substitute of your choice, 1/2 t. strawberry extract, 1/4 t. butter. mix all ingredients in medium saucepan. Boil until polyd is all dissolved. you can also microwave at full power for 4 min. stir and go for another 4 min. Try this with carbalose biscuits! I also use this in cookie recipes. I do need to be careful not to have too much at one time due to gas.

    * I used to eat a cereal that was low carb. I found it helped me to be very regular. The cereal was discontinued and so were my regular bowls. I tracked down the manufacturer and got a list of ingredients. Poly D Fiber was the magic ingredient. I went on line and found it was available and cheap to boot. I am so thankful for Netrition. I was a stubborn case because the medications I take can cause constipation. I never ever have cramps. I sprinkle it on my cereal, add some fruit and away we go. Good Luck and happy pooping.

    * This makes baked products nice and moist. Slightly sweet. I gave it a four instead of a five, cause if you eat too much, it makes you toot (aren't you glad I shared that?) Try this: Mix well--- 3/4 c carbquik, 1/2 c polyD, 1/2 c Sweet Perfection, 6 oz peanut butter and 1/4 c Davinci peanut butter syrup. Press into an 8x8 greased pan and bake at 350 for about 18 minutes. Cool. meanwhile, melt a Chocoperfection bar with 1 T cream. Drizzle over pb bars and let set. Cut into 9-12 pieces.

    * I LOVE this stuff!! I add it to baked goods and you can't even tell it's there! It doesn't change the taste or texture of the food which I love! Other products have a strong flavor or absorb a ton of liquid, but this one doesn't! Try it, you'll love it!!

    * I used this to make CarbQuick Peanut Butter bars (check their website for the recipe) and was so pleased with the way they came out. Very similar to brownies, only peanut butter flavored! When I ran out of PolyD, I tried the recipe with psyllum husks, which is another water soluble fiber, and the texture was not palpable. PolyD will give your baked goods a moist, almost chewy texture, which I imagine would be nice for low-carb cookies as well. I'm buying four more bags to try other recipes. I highly recommend this product for low carb baked goods.

    * This product adds a nice "chewiness" to baked goods- I use it a lot in brownies. Also keeps low carb baked goods from being too dry or crumbly.

    * I use PolyD Fiber daily: 2 Tbs mixed in my blender with a large glass of milk (I use a chocolate milk product I like). I add 1 TB of oat fiber, half a ripe banana and/or other fruit(s). In doing so, I make sure I get the fiber I need every day to stay "regular" and enjoy a delicious drink besides. I recommend you experiment a bit to determine the amount of fiber that's just right for you. The description of PolyD says it dissolves best in warm liquids and tends to gel in cold liquids. I find that sprinkling the fiber powders into the blending milk-&-fruit mixture is successful in taking care of any potential cold-liquid problem.
