Guest guest Posted June 5, 2000 Report Share Posted June 5, 2000 Thanks for the message about stevia. I am a bit reserved about using it in case it affects me as I have just got over a bout of tiredness. I will try it though. You can only try to see what happens.

Guest guest Posted June 5, 2000 Report Share Posted June 5, 2000 Maggie if you are hypoglycemic wouldn't stevia affect you. I have just realised/admitted I am hypoglycemic. I had the test 18yrs and was but I never really understood what the condition was. I have visited the website on it and it is me. No wonder I have been having so many problems. I never realised that allergies/sensitives to food and body pain had anything to with hypo.Thanks for you help. >From: " sherry mccartney " <sherrymccartney@...> >Reply-egroups >egroups >Subject: Re: Date: Mon, 05 Jun 2000 12:09:05 EST > > > >________________________________________________________________________ >Get Your Private, Free E-mail from MSN Hotmail at http://www.hotmail.com > ________________________________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free E-mail from MSN Hotmail at http://www.hotmail.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are no instructions on how much to use etc. Just a few snippets of advise would be helpful if anyone has experience with it. in nz.

Guest guest Posted June 6, 2000 Report Share Posted June 6, 2000 Maggie great I feel a bit more confident about taking it. Everytime I have something sweet or carbo I get these pains in my arms or they get much worse. I never realised the pains were due to hypo symptoms or allegies/sensetatives to food were either.

Guest guest Posted June 6, 2000 Report Share Posted June 6, 2000 , Stevia is very strong, a couple or three drops of the liquid kind to start(if thats what you have)in one glass of tea etc.You have to experiment with it.If you get too much it's bad ,Too little and you can't taste it. I use it in my flaxoil ,the powder,about afourth or fifth of a little packet in two tablespoons of flaxoil with a little salt and a sprinkle of cinnamon(an aviod I know) Then put it on ezeikial toast in the morning.Also , you can bake with it .(muffins etc.)Just play around with it till you find the best amount for you.Oh and you get used to the taste and start to even like it after a while off sugar .

I like to put alittle in my flaxoil .1/8 of a packet of the dry,2 tbs.flaxoil,dash of salt and a sprinkle of cinnamon(an avoid I know)Then put it on eziekial toast.(mmm)You can also bake with it and it does'nt lose it's sweetness.Just experiment.

Guest guest Posted December 11, 2000 Report Share Posted December 11, 2000 <<I'm curious about other peoples' experiences with stevia too. It tastes ok in most things (of course, not as good as sugar.) But I notice that if I eat too much of it I get intestinal cramping and green, sweet-smelling bowel movements. This happens to my son too (still in diapers). I use it only occasionally now. Vicki P.>> I don't know how much you were eating, but I have stevia in my herbal tea every day (3-4 drops) and use it in some of my recipes. I absolutely love it and have had no adverse effects whatsoever. Dianne in L.A. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted December 12, 2000 Report Share Posted December 12, 2000 Cheryl, Where do we talk to the NOW people? I was getting the NuNaturals brand from Swanson. The last one I bought was from a health food store. It was Sweet Leaf Brand. It has F.O.S. or fructooligosacaccharides in it. Do you or does any one out there know what that is? Where would I order NOW products from? I was just ordering from Swanson and found our probotics and herbs for $14.97 and the multivitamins for $19.97in the same bottle we get from NAP listed under New Chapter. Does anyone know anything about New Chapter and if it is as reliable as NAP? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted December 12, 2000 Report Share Posted December 12, 2000 Cheryl, Sorry, I didn't realize you were at work. I should have realized the time difference. I appreciate your coming back so quickly to me. I went to www.steviaplus.com and they have an explanation for what FOS is. It's a little scientific for my understanding. It sounds good. It comes from the chicory root, is a non-soluble fiber, helps the intestinal pH for increased calcium absorption. If you or any of you others with a better understanding of this can help me understand it better sometime ( I realize this is a rush time of year for all of us) I'd sure like to know more about it in case I run into it again. Thank you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 1, 2002 Report Share Posted January 1, 2002 I have used this as I was on a low-carb diet. It does have the funky aftertaste that is also associated with artificial sweeteners. It is expensive but probably costs what you would use with sugar. You do need so much less!

Anyway there are various brands and types...liquid,powder. You can also buy a stevia plant,but it needs to be inside in winters.With the plant you can use the leaves,or extract the sugars via cooking.

Guest guest Posted April 24, 2002 Report Share Posted April 24, 2002 >>There seems to be some debate about raw (never cooked in processing) honey and candida. Some people seem to state that raw honey (thought not honey that has ever been heated above the hive temperature, which is just like sugar) is acceptable because it has antibacterial properties and necessary enzymes, and it is digested by the body more as protein than as sugar. Others say it is never acceptable on a yeast-free diet. I personally hate the taste of stevia -- the one sweetner definitely allowed on the yeast-free program -- and it gives me a headache. Does anyone know more about the raw honey issue? Does it encourage candida overgrowth? << Hi, I had a different reaction to stevia. It has been a great find for me. Finally, a sweetener with no after taste and is natural. I love it and use it exclusively, now. Altho, it is used by much of the rest of the world as a sweetner, our FDA has aggressively been trying to block its use in the USA even resorting to seizures of shipments amid suspected complaints by the sugar industry and Nutra Sweet against its use. It can now be sold only as a dietary supplement and any mention of sweetner on the packaging makes it illegal. Sometimes it is added to foods under the heading " other natural ingredients. " There are many brands available - I've been using NuNaturals. Macey Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted July 23, 2002 Report Share Posted July 23, 2002 I can't explain the legal FDA mumbo-jumbo however I can tell you that stevia can legally be sold as a supplement. So you can find it in the nutritional supplement section of stores rather than the food section. I've had a hard time figuring out the conversion ratio from sugar. Seems it depends on the concentration that you buy. It's good stuff too bad it's so hard to get practical usage info.
