I had crystal light today for the first time since my surgery. I had the raspberry lemonade flavor. I had maybe 1/4 the bottle and then I started to get really hot and my stomach started to bother me and I had to run to the bathroom. What happened? Was sugar free. My surgery was nov 2nd 2012.

I had rny on nov 5 th, crystal light and any other kind of tea seem to get my intestines going, having had a slow bowel anyway, they've really helped me stay regular, not sure if this helps at all, but I've shared the experience xoxo

Hmmm... Not sure. I have crystal light all the time & no problems with it. I'm sorry . Maybe you drank it to fast? sips were too big?

I'm preop, but I have IBS and artificial sweetener does this to me. So much so that I can not do chewable vitamins.

I was drinking slowly. Just no idea why.

I haven't been able to handle Crystal light either. The only thing I found that I can drink and like is Sugar Free Hawaiian Punch Singles to Go. The Fruit Juicy Red Flavor. I got some Grape flavor and for some reason that made my stomach upset. I think with the Crstal light for me it's the citrus in it.

My mom said that it may be the citrus in it. I used to love crystal light raspberry lemonade. I hope I will again some day.

I used to love crystal light as well but have found since surgery it is just too sweet for me. My NUT said tastes would change after surgery.. Bummer though. I have about 6 boxes of the packets!

I have 4 boxes of 10. I am just going to give them to my mom. Lol. I tried the propel in the packets to and I didn't like them much either.
