Oddly erythritol is one of the few things I'm allergic to - it causes me to break out in hives.

Since I have to watch out for it, I've noticed it's becoming more and more common as a sweetener.

I find it flare IBS. Which means anything with Stevia I can't have as it appears erythritol is used, I think, as a bulking agent

I found a Stevia product, White Stevia, in my local organic market. It has maltodextrin added, but that's it. The downside is it's not measure-for-measure with sugar (1/6 tsp vs 1 tsp sugar).

There are plenty of pure stevia powder products. They don't need to be 1:1 for sugar. I am okay with using the tiniest fractional teaspoons to dispense pure stevia.
