Organic agave,ok or stay away

I was just given a organic sweetner called Blue Agave,from a woman in my swim class. Has anyone out there in WLS land ever tried this? I react badlyto sugars over our limits. This says 16gr per serving, but the ingredient list shows only Agave nectar.If all else fails I guess a quick dash down to Langhorne to see the Nut will have to be done.Is this an ok sweetner for us?

I found this article to be very informative:

Basically, it's high-fructose corn syrup with better publicity. I'd avoid it!

If I remember correctly, the Barix "sugar under other names" card that I got after surgery has this as one of the sugar in disguise names.. I avoid it - same with cane syrup, evaporated cane juice

I had same question last week or so.....Agave has alot of carbs, althought zero cals.... but can cause dumping.    .my research revealed a better option for WLS patients is Stevia. I've been using it in half the quantity I used to use of Splenda --rather good

I found out the hard way that I am allergic to stevia - horrible bumpy itchy rash reaction to it..

Thank you all for your helpfullness, this is something to give to someelse who can use it.
Maura sorry to hear about the reaction to stevia,again thanks to you all.
