Question:
I COULD NOT FIND SUGAR FREE....

CARNATION INSTANT BREAKFAST. SO I BOUGHT THE REGULAR KIND IT HAS 20 GRAMS OF SUGAR IN INT. I REMEMBER MY NUTRIONALIST SAYING I COULD HAVE UP TO 20 MG OF SUGAR WITHOUT DUMPING. DOES ANYONE KNOW IF I CAN DRINK THE REGULAR KIND, COULD NOT FIND IT ANYWHERE (SUGAR FREE).    — Gale G. (posted on September 2, 2002)

Hi Gale, I found the no sugar added carnation breakfast at a local grocery store. I usually add 2 tbsps. of carnation powdered milk to it for extra protein. I also add a scoop of protein powder that has no flavor. This usually gives me a good 28 grams of protein. And for a treat, put in a bit of fat free/sugar free cool whip--yummy. Good Luck. {{{HUGS}}}

Does 20 mg of surgar the same at 8 grams? I was told to try to stay under 10grams at a time. I know some people who dump on less than this. Also, remember that milk also has sugar and you will have to add those grams in as well. I know with RNY, we malabsorb some fats, but we will absorb all of the sugar.

Wal Mart carries it as do most of the grocery stores in my area. It comes in a blue box and it is "No Sugar Added", not Sugar Free. They can't label anything sugar free that has milk in it because of the natural milk sugar.
