SUGGESTONS FOR SWEETENERS

HELLO LADIES AND GENTLEMEN, I HAVE A LITTLE PROBLEM W/ SWEETENERS, AS NOT TOLERATING ANY OF THEM. I'VE TRIED SWEET AND LOW, ASPERTAME, SPLENDA, etc . . . YOU NAME IT I'VE TRIED IT. MY NEW STOMACH IS NOT TOLERATING ANY OF THEM. THEY ARE CAUSING STOMACH PAIN, NAUSEA AND EXTREME DRY MOUTH. ANY SUGGESTIONS ARE GREATLY APPRECIATED. HOPE EVERYONE HAS A HAPPY, HEALTHY, AND BLESSED THANKSGIVING DONNA, SFY

Sorry to hear your having problems. It sounds like you have covered all of the sweetners that are made, and I can't think of anything other than those you mentioned.There is one called stevia, (spelling?). I know it's not as cheap as the others, but if you haven't tried it yet you might want to. I can not use Splenda in any way, shape or form, I dumped on it bad, but I couldn't use it before my surgery either. Sugar alcohols are like poison to me and most everything that is sugar free has either one of those in it. I have to read lables very carefully or I play heck being deathly sick after ingesting them. I have gotten to where just about everything is too sweet for me anyway, and the crystal lite that I drank everyday is now sickening to me, also. I stick with water for the most part. I sure hope you get it figured out and I would be contacting my Dr. to see if they have any suggestions. Take care! Mary

Probably the sugar alcohols in them...lots of us can't tolerate them. I can do splenda in the tiny yellow packs, but not the granular kind in the bag that you scoop out I was also going to say Stevia...all natural, bu****ch out for the sugars! Splenda is the one most can tolerate. Take out everything, like try to make a few small glasses of plain iced tea and slowly try different sweetners to figure out which you can tolerate the best. I bet it will be splenda. Iced tea is the easiest way to figure it out....but give lots of time between them. You may also want to try no sugar added applejuice or applesauce to help you get something sweet with no alcohols ;) Love ya, Good Luck!! Deb
