I just find that stevia ( I got packages at the drug store) makes me feel nauseous. I mean really bad, I actually threw up from it.
Im used to having a cup of tea a few times a day and it always helps me eat less, not used to straight not sweet tea though.
Has anyone else expirienced any thing like it?What would you reccomend? Can I just use twin sweetner or splenda?
Thanks a lot

If you mean Truvia, it is probably the erythritol that is making you sick. I still use sweet n low in my iced tea, just because I prefer it. Don't drink more than 1 of those a week though. The liquid flavored sweet leaf stevia is by far the best. Good luck! No to the splenda, in my book. They are just bad for you.

The powdered stevia does the same to me. You can buy the liquid stevia at choices market in yaletown it's about 20$. They have vanilla flavored I use it in my chai tea delicious! Also there are a few places on commercial / 1st area that sell it couple of health food stores around the skytrain station.

Thank you so much for taking the time to respond, this evening I had nothing but splenda, so had a cup of tea with it, feel better.Tomorrow will go buy some liquid stevia.

Lol. I can't ve stevia pure. I love erythritol though & like to add a bit of pure RabA to make it sweeter.
But I also use all others, especially when I m not at home. I think It's all abt dose. Moderation is key.
