Question:
Do artificial sweeteners make anyone else nauseous??

I have always hated them, they never taste right, now after surgery I actually get nauseous whenever I have anything with them in it... (I have tried them all with the same result)    — wendy-s (posted on September 5, 2009)

I am totally against artificial sweeteners. I know lots of folks believe in them, but there is research that has shown that they are not good...especially when ingested on a regular basis. I don't like the taste of any of them AND yes, I also get nauseous when I eat or drink something that has it in. I spent $42.00 on a container of ISO PURE and now can't use it because I failed to read the label before purchasing. When I drank the first shake I made, I wanted to throw up! Instead I use a lil strawberries or papaya, maybe a tiny slice of banana in my shakes, just to give a little flavor. Sometimes I just add water and drink that darn thing to get the protein. I keep strawberries in the freezer just to throw in shakes.

I can't tolerate artificial sugars either, always have gave me a headache. I use Stevia it's a herb or just us real sugar. Stevia comes in powder or concentrate, one drop goes a long way, not sure how it is for baking/cooking with it, I just add it to oatmeal

I get headaches and kidney pain from some artificial sweetners. I use Sun Crystals which are stevia and pure cane sugar (which is better for you than beet sugar) and they are only 5 calories per packet. When I make sun tea I use only 7 packetes per the whole gallon but I don't need my tea to be that sweet. Straight stevia is good too and it can be used for baking and other things. Stevia is natural from a plant and taste similar to surgar. It doesn't give me headaches or kidney pain. My husband even likes it and he hates artificaial sweetners. I hope you have great success with whatever you try.
