Just ate some Special K protein cereal...
I just bought the box yesterday and this is the first time trying it! It says 2 gms of sugar per serving but then I looked at it has high fructose corn syrup as an ingredient about halfway through the ingredients. I thought I'd be fine because the sugars are so low...but ugh, I'm not going to try this again. Hopefully hubby will like this cereal or I can give it away to a friend or family member....ugh I still feel nauseated and like I will throw up any minute.
I really wanted to try this since I normally loved the Special K pre op. It seemed like an easy breakfast but ughhhhhh, I feel like absolute crap.

I can drink a cup of milk fine, but anything beyond that and I dump (I think I'm lactose intolerant). I've had the Carnation SFIB and I dumped on that, just because it already has milk in it. I drank it with one cup of 1% and that put the lactose (milk sugars) up to 17 gms!!
I put just a few TBSP of 1% milk on the cereal, just enough to get it wet. I think it might've been the high fructose corn syrup in the cereal, even though there's only 2 gms of sugar in the stuff. I don't think I've eaten anything with the fructose syrup yet.
Thankfully, I am finally starting to feel better and the feeling has passed....
That was NOT fun!

I've eaten 2 different high protein Kashi cereals and been fine. I will have to check and see if they have sugar and HFCS in them. This SK cereal one didn't go down so well. I kept feeling nauseated and my mouth got all watery feeling. I won't try this cereal again...well at least for a looooong time!
I just looked at the SK cereal and SUGAR is the 9th ingredient and High Fructose Corn syrup is the 11th ingredient! And there's still like 10 more ingredients after that. So it's more sugary than I thought, with TWO kinds of sugars in it! But it only says 2 gms of sugar?!
I also looked on the Kashi Go Lean Crunch and it has evaporated cane juice crystals, honey- 13 gms of sugar. I don't get it?! Not the actual sugar and HFCS but more gms of sugar and I didn't dump on this stuff! Whatever....
