MN_Meg770 125 Posted July 28, 2018 Hi all, Just wondering if anyone has tried beverages with the sugar replacement stevia. Any issues? I like Vitamin Water zero and other drinks that contain stevia but am only 4 days out and don’t want to get sick or dumping. Thanks! Megan Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Creekimp13 5,840 Posted July 28, 2018 I find the taste absolutely repugnant. Bought some Stevia Mio by mistake once and had to throw it all out. Bleh! I'm a splenda girl through and through. To each their own, though:)... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BeeCat 99 Posted July 28, 2018 I'm using Stevia in my tea and not having any problems Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CyclicalLoser 155 Posted July 28, 2018 I was addicted to Vitamin Water Zero "Squeezed" Pre-Surgery. LOL I was addicted for about 7 years. Once I got out of the hospital, I started drinking it, and I didn't like it very much. I would say it was not really any better than aspertame or sucralose flavored drinks. I even tried one with ace-k. I basically haven't found anything that I really like, but the Premier Protein clear drinks actually taste the best to me (+20g Protein is a great extra). But to get back to your question, no, I don't think it caused any issues. Maybe some gas, but I say only maybe because I'm only 2.5 weeks out and I'm still trying to figure out what foods like me LOL. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

TakingABreak 2,733 Posted July 28, 2018 I use liquid stevia a lot in my tea. I like it a lot better than the granular kind, it mixes much better. I like the taste a lot better than Splenda. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I like Vitamin Water zero and other drinks that contain stevia but am only 4 days out and don’t want to get sick or dumping. Thanks! MeganI find Stevia is way better tolerated than Xylitol. I switched to a Stevia sugar free maple Syrup for oatmeal and stuff and immediately helped reduce gas and bloated feeling. I wish Stevia was more common in Australia, I feel like when I'm in the US I can get a lot more options.

passportx2 8 Posted July 30, 2018 I just recently found that stevia has flavored liquid drops. It hasn’t been an issue for me. I just ordered a few different flavors to try in my coffee and shakes.< /p> Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
