No "sugar-free" for me

[allisonjrasmussen 7]

NutraSweet, aspartame and most other artificial sweeteners give me Migraines. I have a concern when I go on my liquid diet when they say "sugar- free" that I will have a very limited choice when it comes to flavor. I can have stevia, but wondered if there was anyone else out there with this issue and if there were other sugar substitutes that were allowed or what other "sweet" liquids were still on the table. Thank you!

If you like flavored water enhancers, Stur is great and they're made with Stevia!

I have found I really don't like most sugar free drinks anymore, they are either too sweet or too artificial tasting

I found out the hard way long time ago that I can not have aspartame or soy. I always have to go the route of all natural, organic or plant base products. The Vitamin shop store or even like the grocery store Earth Fair has tons of choices. I still drink my Protein Shake from Garden of Life Raw Organic Meal in chocolate flavor now, vanilla is to sweet tasting now after WLS. Hope this helps.

I use stevia exclusively unless in a bind then sucrolose.
Stur Water Enhancer and a few others use stevia, Monkfruit, etc. Naturally they are expensive but you could always brew your own iced tea too
