Q: Are these calories fully digested or do they pass undigested?

The main ingredient is erythritol, which although it is technically "absorbed" in your upper GI, your body however can not processes/burn it, and so it is excreted/expelled by your kidneys. Because it is absorbed into your body and doesn't stay in your colon, unlike some other non-calorie polyol sweeteners (like xylitol), it is very unlikely that this would any gastric disturbances (diarrhea). Sweetener of choice for most low carb / ketogenic dieters.The 2nd main ingredient is "tagatose", of which about 20% is absorbed, and the rest passes to the large intestine where it is mostly fermented (metabolized) by beneficial intestinal bacteria into short chain fatty acids (SCFA), which are absorbed. In the human liver, that 20% of absorbed tagatose, is metabolized the same way as fructose - it is converted to glucose, which can be then either stored in the form of glycogen or broken down to produce energy. Because 80% gets to your lower intestines, it may cause gastric upset (diarrhea) Not good for low carb / ketogenic dieters.The 3rd ingredient is glycerol, which is chemically considered a sugar alcohol (polyol). There is some conjecture as to what glycerol (AKA glycerin/glycerine) actually is (a carbohydrate, or a fatty acid). It is usually part of a fatty acid chain, but when it stands alone it is a carbohydrate. The FDA treats it as a carbohydrate. From what I've read (anecdotal reports) it only gets absorbed if your liver stores if glycogen stores are empty (i.e. you are fat adapted). Like tagagose, it is probably not good to ingest when on a ketogenic diet.Next ingredient is Stevia. A natural high intensity sweetener. Probably not absorbed, but amounts used are so little it shouldn't matter. This is a zero glycemic index sweetener,a very good sweetener for ketogenic dieters.

Q: It has malt extract as one of the ingredients. Malt extract is made from barley or rye. That is not gluten free. How can you claim it to be glutenfree

Hello. We don't claim the product to be gluten free in the US as the presence of malt extract is not allowed in a gluten free product. The gluten contents in Sukrin Gold is significantly below the threshold for gluten free products (close to 1 ppm) and the product is therefore legally considered gluten free in the EU, which is where the product originates. The US packaging does not make a claim for gluten free - but if you were to purchase the product from a UK seller, it might have a gluten free claim.

Q: How many carbs in 1 tablespoon?

Sukrin Gold has 0 g net carbs as it is erythritol, a sugar alcohol that is not digested. 1 serving is 1 tsp (5 g) and has 5 g total carbs of which 5 g are indigestible (=0 g carbs). Best, Sukrin USA

Q: Does it has a cooling aftertaste?

It 100% does. It's a very strong cooling aftertaste if you consume it raw. When I use it in baking though it's not nearly as bad. It's noticeable, but not nearly as strong.
