That does make sense...where do you buy it? Do you have to order it online? I looked at whole foods today but didn't see it.

You can get it at a health food store.

I think decaf black teas still contain tannins which are bad for IBS.

Hello,
Recently I have been on a kick of pure water with a splash of cranberry-grape or cranberry-cherry juice in it. I LOVE diet Coke, especially from McDonalds or any ff restaurant, but it is not too kind on the tum! Plain water is, well, just that...plain. The little bit of added juice to it gives it just enough flavor, and it goes down smoothly, especially when it is not very cold. I use two oz. of juice to about 16 oz. of water.

Splenda makes me feel like I have a balloon in my tummy!

I have also found it at my Super Wal-Mart store, at a much cheaper price

Tannins can be a bit tough for some people, but it's no more an IBS trigger than oatmeal or nuts. (That is, it's not perfectly safe, but most people can handle it.) If you feel fine with decaf black tea, keep drinking it!
My current herbal tea of choice is Celestial Seasonings Black Cherry Berry. You don't even need to brew it in hot water - just a teabag dropped into a glass of cold water gives you a nice sweet mild fruit drink.

Splenda, especially in cold foods, gives everyone I know a case of the farts. It's not as evil as the sugar alcohols, but if I hear my husband farting, I know to ask "something with Splenda today?"

Thanks for clearing that up.

This is so strange - I never associated Splenda with any GI side effects. I'm still unsure if on balance it's better for me because of my insulin resistance, but when I eventually make a doctor's appointment I'll have to remember to ask about that.
