Stevia Allergy

[Guest guest]

HOWDY Y'ALL,

Last year I trashed 90% of my food pantry, along with all artificial sweeteners.

This was BEFORE I found Bee's website. I switched over to STEVIA. I tried

several brands with numerous additives. And I tried pure powdered leaves.

About a 2 weeks later, my hands and feet began swelling. Then it was just my

feet. EDEMA is the medical term. I have the boniest feet on earth & skinny

calves. They became so swollen that I looked like I was walking on 2 tree

stumps! From the knee down, about the same size. Plus an odd red, splotchy

coloring, not a rash. Fat toes, no visible ankle bones. Throbbing, heavy, unable

to walk comfortably, could only wear flip-flops.

Since STEVIA was the ONLY new item in my system, I quit it. Ten days later, my

feet looked as if none of that ever happened. Completely gone.

I've been on Bee's program for almost 6 weeks now. I am improving greatly, but

miss that little sweet something from time to time. So I bought some more PURE

Stevia leaf powder. YEP, you guessed it. My feet are as big as a FOOTBALL again.

Today, I made the decision to quit AGAIN. Hopefully in 10 days this will be gone

again. Has anyone else contributed heavy feet/legs, edema, joint pain to using

Stevia? If not, then perhaps you could try to quit using it for a couple of

weeks & see if your swelling goes away???

Thanks for any info,

DeBBie
