Lynda486 784 Posted April 9, 2020 Does anyone else get a stomach ache from Crystal Light? It only happens at the beginning of the glass, but I can drink the rest pain free. Weird! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
catwoman7 11,220 Posted April 10, 2020 I'm fine with it. Some people get G/I issues from artificial sweeteners, but if it's just the first couple of sips, it doesn't sound like that's your issue. Hmmm....i'm not sure. 1 Lynda486 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I think the sourness of it kind of shocks my stomach and it takes a few sips to get through the rest. The fruit punch for me is a lot more tolerable. I've found that plain Water with a splash of cranberry juice makes a great, more easily tolerated, alternative to Crystal Light. Good luck 1 Lynda486 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Heather13 16 Posted July 17, 2020 The nutritionist at my doctor's office told us we're not allowed to have Crystal Light because of the artificial sweeteners. I still drink it because it helps me get my Water in. Has anyone else been told not to drink it? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
PolkSDA 116 Posted July 17, 2020 No such instructions here. If I'm told I can't have any sugar *OR* any artificial sweeteners, I'll be a in a world of hurt... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I drank it for years before my surgery and have never had a problem. Heather13, I see you're from SF, did you get your Surgery done at UCSF? If so they never told me not to drink Crystal light?

Jessighka 0 Posted August 3, 2020 I drink it everyday. I was drinking Propel everyday to get my Water in, but it was messing with my stomach so I had to stop it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
PolkSDA 116 Posted August 3, 2020 I frequently find Crystal Light and other "water bottle portion" packet mixes to be too sweet or "syrupy" for my tastes, so I find myself more frequently using TrueLime, TrueOrange, and TrueGrapefruit with a single packet of artificial sweetener. It's still refreshing with a hint of sweet, but not as "heavy" for lack of a better word. They're available in 500-packet cases which make them very economical.
