I have been on Truvia for a long time.. while on diet soda's and aspertame products my memory was shot.. I had frequent headaches and generally felt terrible.. since switching to Truvia I have regained my memory (not all cause I'm getting older) but started feeling better and had no headaches since.. I am not a Dr or scientist just common sense should tell you that chemicals are not good for you ..as opposed to natural ...

*WAVES THE CONSPIRACY THEORIST'S FLAG* Consumers are being bombarded with genetically modified organisms and we don't even have the right to choose because the powers that be don't make labeling GMOs mandatory. I wouldn't trust "studies" done by the same people who are producing this venom/poison, and I wouldn't trust the government who's in the pocket of said people.

For years the link between cigarette smoking and lung cancer was considered a conspiracy theory' date=' too. Unfortunately when something being banned will have a potentially huge financial impact, it usually takes many, many years for a definite conclusion to be reached and accepted.[/quote']That tobacco/cigarets example was an EXCELLENT example.

Donna, I hope & pray they get to the bottom of this soon. Have you thought about using natural sweeteners like sugar or honey?? For sure they are less harmful than any synthetic CRAP.

Thx for the replies but that doesn't address the fact that I have to flavor my water bottle each time with something . I tried the squirt lemon juice and didn't like it...

Hope you are able to get to the bottom of these health issues. We have to be such advocates for ourselves and navigate so much. I had Lyme and co infections of Lyme two years ago and t was really something trying to figure out what on earth was wrong and then what to do.

On Water, I fill up a 32oz juice bottle nearly to the top and then add a splash of unsweetened cranberry juice and a capful of aloe Vera. It is delicious and cleansing -- sometimes I knock back three bottles of this a day.

Also I drink a lot of ginger tea, cold or hot. Keeps well in fridge and has a nice mouth kick, like a cocktail.

Donna, be sure to get unsweetened cranberry -- you will only need a splash so a bottle goes a long way. I really like the cleansing properties of aloe but can't drink it plain -- it is masked in the cranberry Water. If you like a sweeter drink, you could try adding Steevia to it (Truvia is a brand of Steevia -- there are others, too -- Steevia is a plant and very, very sweet so a little bit will do). Hope you feel better soon. Hydration is so important!

every body can react differantly to differant everday day things, often it is a trial and error situation . So sorry your are going through all this and if changing works then it works good luck at figureing out the cause.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
