Guest guest Posted May 1, 2011 Report Share Posted May 1, 2011 Hi Bee, As I live in Australia and I-herb were out of the Stevia you recommend..I purchased and Organic Stevia 100% Pure Extract Powder when I first started the diet a few months ago...as I wanted to try the Egg Drink....I have been having 1-2 a day with a pinch in each drink..as I will looked at the ingredients it has listed: 100% Pure Certified Organic Steviol Glycosides.....which I have read in the archives in not good... So my question is what is glycosides and should I stop taking it and just wait till I get my next order when I can order the correct Stevia ( which won't be until July..as I am stocked up with all my other sup's) I really enjoy the drink and it takes the edge off for something sweet and is very satisfying...but by previously taking the above and continuing to....could this be slowing down my healing progress and just another thing my body has to detox etc? I do find I bloat up after the drink most of the time...but when I just eat meat and fat it isn't as severe...so that is why I was thinking it could be the ingredients in the Stevia? Thanks so much Bee, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted May 1, 2011 Report Share Posted May 1, 2011 Hi , Something to consider.....do the egg drink without the stevia. It tastes pretty much the same with just cinnamon and nutmeg. When I first started the diet, I used a little stevia, but after a short while, I found that the stevia was making the drink 'too' sweet and that cinnamon and nutmeg were sufficient. Be blessed, (I'm in Australia too, and when I was using stevia, I bought it online from an organic company up near Tamworth somewhere, but it was early 2008. I googled them, but couldn't find them now. Maybe they have shut down.) > > Hi Bee, > > As I live in Australia and I-herb were out of the Stevia you recommend..I purchased and Organic Stevia 100% Pure Extract Powder when I first started the diet a few months ago...as I wanted to try the Egg Drink....I have been having 1-2 a day with a pinch in each drink..as I will looked at the ingredients it has listed: > > 100% Pure Certified Organic Steviol Glycosides.....which I have read in the archives in not good... > > So my question is what is glycosides and should I stop taking it and just wait till I get my next order when I can order the correct Stevia ( which won't be until July..as I am stocked up with all my other sup's) > > I really enjoy the drink and it takes the edge off for something sweet and is very satisfying...but by previously taking the above and continuing to....could this be slowing down my healing progress and just another thing my body has to detox etc? > > I do find I bloat up after the drink most of the time...but when I just eat meat and fat it isn't as severe...so that is why I was thinking it could be the ingredients in the Stevia? > > Thanks so much Bee, > > > > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doe your abdomen bloat, which is your intestines below your belly button, or does your stomach bloat? Bee Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
