Artificial sweeteners

[toodlerue 462]

I have never like artificial sweeteners. But I have been trying some lately. Today I bought some yogurt with some in to try! It is so awful! I don’t know if I can do it!

Any suggestions?

Toodles,

The only one I can stand and doesn't make me sick is Stevia. Have you tried that?

I agree. Stevia is natural, it's a little hard to get accustomed to the taste but once you find a brand that you like, you hardly notice it. Do not get Truvia. It is only partially Stevia, I believe the remainder are sugars.

I too prefer Stevia. It’s the only sweetener I can tolerate but I am pre-op for RNY. So I am not sure if that will change after surgery.

I am getting away from the artificial sweeteners as much as possible now. I was using the Mio flavor drops and I think they were really doing my entire body a disservice. I got discharged from the hospital this morning (I had to go back due to a stricture) and the entire time all I had was Water. I feel physically better as a result. Mio can suck it!

Hope all goes well, congrats on your discharge this morning. Glad you're feeling better!

I eat TONS of Splenda (Sucralose). I love it and I don't worry about it:)

Stevia Sweetens me up where the rest made me headachy, crabby, cranky and no fun to be around. With Stevia my natural sweet disposition resurfaces. FYI I have even cut back,in that, I am enjoying the natural sweetness of my foods, better do it quick because the structurlized starvation of the dreaded liquid diet is-a-coming. Just don't know yet when it kicks into gear😞

I put Truvia in my tea and tolerate it just fine. I think it’s a matter of finding what will work for you.

Artificial sweeteners didn’t bother me at all pre op but now some things with them I can’t eat because of them. Yogurt is one. Triple zero makes yogurt with no artificial sweeteners. You really have to read the labels and choose carefully if they bother you. I find some flavors more offensive than others as well.

Good luck!
