That's not immediately apparent on the website.       #368209 - 09/21/12 04:01 PM Edit Reply Quote Heather Reged: 12/09/02 Posts: 7799 Loc: Seattle, WA Stevia is safe, but I believe Truvia combines stevia with some very IBS unfriendly ingredients. -------------------- Heather is the Administrator of the IBS Message Boards.

Thanks so much for the warning. I have been having really bad pain...maybe I have found the culprit, hopefully. What do you drink besides herbal tea?

A similar thing is happening with sodium nitrate in meats. Because sodium nitrate is found in celery extract the manufacturers are called meats with celery extract natural with no artificial preservatives. It just nonsense to confuse the consumer with the same ingredient extracted from natural sources. I used frozen berries, I thaw them, mash them and strain them to make a berry juice. I add 1/5 glass of juice with the rest water and ice. It makes a lovely safe drink. Even a splash of pulp free orange juice in water makes a nice drink too. -------------------- STABLE: ♂, IBS-D 50+ years - Science of IBS The FODMAP Approach to Managing IBS Symptoms Evidence-based Dietary Management of Functional GI Symptoms: The FODMAP Approach FODMAP Chart & Cheatsheet The Role of Food & Dietary Intervention in IBS Print     Remind Me     Notify Moderator     Re: Is gatorade safe?-nt       #368216 - 09/22/12 09:41 AM Edit Reply Quote Cyndy Reged: 03/05/05 Posts: 1301 never mind...it has fructose syrup.

Some of the natural flavored ones don't contain an artificial sweetener but they do contain a far amount of sugar. You might considered drinking coconut water instead of gatorade. -------------------- STABLE: ♂, IBS-D 50+ years - Science of IBS The FODMAP Approach to Managing IBS Symptoms Evidence-based Dietary Management of Functional GI Symptoms: The FODMAP Approach FODMAP Chart & Cheatsheet The Role of Food & Dietary Intervention in IBS Print     Remind Me     Notify Moderator     Re: Is gatorade safe?-nt       #368218 - 09/22/12 09:52 AM Edit Reply Quote Syl Reged: 03/13/05 Posts: 5499 Loc: SK, CANADA Actually, I believe in 2011 they removed high fructose corn syrup and used a mixture of sucrose and dextrose. However, check the label. -------------------- STABLE: ♂, IBS-D 50+ years - Science of IBS The FODMAP Approach to Managing IBS Symptoms Evidence-based Dietary Management of Functional GI Symptoms: The FODMAP Approach FODMAP Chart & Cheatsheet The Role of Food & Dietary Intervention in IBS Print     Remind Me     Notify Moderator     Pages: 1 | 2 | (show all)
