Anyone else allergic to artificial sugar ??



Recommended Posts

I can only tolerate Stevia. Everything sugar free seems to be made with Sucralose ( splenda ) I get violently ill. This has made my journey more difficult as I was limited in the Protein Shake options ( I used a Plant Based Protein Powder from Six Starr and added Fairlife skim milk . I cannot have sugarfee Jello or popsicles . I have recommendations for others who may have similar issues. I did a lot of trial and error. Feel free to inquire

How did you know you were allergic?

Trial and error like the poster above, remove from your diet-better put it back in - bingo bad symptoms. Actually not an allergy, more an intolerance but nothing you want to fool around with. And if you are masochistic enough to enjoy the pain you belong on Psychological Pals instead Bariatric Pals. Ho-okay?😓

I get immediate severe diarrhea bad headaches and joint pain. I say allergy perhaps an intolerance but either way it's hard to find things without them when you aren't supposed to have sugar. I seem to be ok with Stevia in moderation.

Terra’s whey, the vanilla flavor is quite good and flavored with stevia FYI

Me too. It makes me nauseous and I’ve had diarrhea all throughout my pre op and now at 3 days post op I still have it. Just the thought of it makes me want to gag. I can’t do the sf Jello or the ice pops or anything else that is artificially sweetened.

Crystal light Pure uses stevia if you need a break from Water. I’m experiencing some of the same problems.

      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.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
