Guest guest Posted May 7, 2000 Report Share Posted May 7, 2000 e, I asked Dr. R that same question about sugar vs sugar free and he said in his sweet tone of voice honey, that is something you will never need to obsess over again! I have taken the sugared kind now for nine months with no ill effects. in Minnesota Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How fortunate that God gave him the courage to develop and perfect the MGB so that our lives can be returned to us and God's service. Please remember to keep Dr. R, his family, and his practice/staff in our prayers, daily. Dee in MI. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted June 8, 2000 Report Share Posted June 8, 2000 Hey , AKA Barbie, Thanks for the 1 800 number, every $$ counts. BTW our Wal-Mart here in Statesville carries the sugar- free, so yours would probably order it if you explain to them that you will be purchasing it by the metric ton LOL. So glad you are back.

Let me know?? thanks a bunch1 margie > SC You don't have to use sugar-free, but your tastes will *definitely* change after the surgery. For most people, anything with sugar tastes *much* sweeter -- awful, actually -- than before, so you may not *want* anything with sugar in it. Also, the Ornish diet (which you are supposed to be on after surgery) says to eliminate fats and sugars as much as possible. That's two possible reasons for people looking for " sugar-free " Citrucell. I finally said the hell with it, I couldn't stand the taste of Citracell, sugar-free or not, and got a different brand that has *no* taste whatsoever and can be mixed in anything. Kronosyl, available at Walmart. Kind regards, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
