Crystal light is out....

I haven't had any problems drinking propel, or gatorade or some other flavored/sugar free waters. I tried some crystal light (fruit punch flavor) this morning, and something didn't feel right. I felt a little queazy, nauseous, so I stopped and put it away for a couple hours. I ate my lunch, waited an hour, and tried again. I got about 2-3 oz in, and instantly felt nauseous and felt like I needed to vomit ASAP. My mouth got all watery, and I swore I was going to vomit. I didn't, THANKFULLY, but it was kind of scary.

What gives? I won't be touching this stuff again.

I had issues with crystal light as well.  Not exactly what you experienced but I no longer drink it.  I will probably try again down the road but I am tolerating smar****er or plain water a lot better.

I would just not try to drink it again for a few weeks and then try it again.  And if it happens again, wait a couple more weeks.  And then if it happens again, maybe wait a month.  If it keeps happening, then just know it's not right for you.

I think its the type of sugar they use because I can't drink it either the same with atkins bars the sugar they use makes me sick as well.

 Sounds awful! Maybe there is something about the coloring or the flavoring they use? If you can stomach so many other options, I would just skip the CL.  Good luck!

If you're looking for something new to add to regular water, I just discovered Mio. It's a liquid water enhancer that I bought at Wal Mart. You can add as little or as much as you want and since it's liquid, it mixes into the water very easily. It contains no sugar, no carbs, no calories and no caffeine.

Hope this helps.

Thank goodness Crystal Light is not required on our eating plan.  I try not to purposly ingest anything with artificial sweeteners.  Some may sneak in without me being aware but I just do not use them.
