Irritable Bowel Syndrome Message Boards

I was very interested by your post so I looked around on the web to research a little. And it seems there is a controversy over Stevia. Whether it is good for your health or causes health problems? I read lots of articles that praise it saying it is good for diabetics and that it aids in digestion. I also found several articles that say it can cause infertility, cancer, and interferes with the processing of carbohydrates.

How long have you been taking it? Have you heard of any health risks? Did you ask your doctor about it?

It seems alot of the bad info on it is fueled by the FDA. They are supposedly blocking it for political and monetary purposes. I was just interested in what you know about it b/c it seemed to really help you.

Oh, and did you notice a bad aftertaste? I saw that in several articles?

I am worried about to much sugar intake and would like to find a safe sweetner and if it helped with digestion that would be a plus.
