I can practically feel it eating out the lining of my stomach and gut,

even just reading about it! Ugh.

Guys, it's really impolite to keep making nasty comments about other people's foodchoices, choices which are legal on the diet. Sometimes the purer than thou quotient gets abit much.

Don't the natural flavors and caramel color make it illegal though?

I did read the thread, but still don't have an answer.

Diet Coke is legal, in spite of having natural flavors?

OR

Diet Coke is illegal because it has natural flavors?

i believe the former.

Because diet sodas are approved for occasional use and they

all seem to have natural flavors - or at least the big 4 do that I

looked up, diet coke, diet pepsi, diet gingerale and diet seven up.

So I think that the occasional use mitigates against the natural

flavors - anyway - that is the only way I can make heads or tails

or it.

Why put it in if no diet soda is actually legal? And if Elaine only

meant one/some obscure brand/(s) that no one had ever heard of,

wouldn't she have said - occasional use of diet obscure brand(s) of

soda is(are) approved.

Unless she stated somewhere which brands are acceptable and

which not - but it only says diet soda, as far as I know.

Subject to correction - if someone has more accurate info. And,

obviously if it has a negative effect, stop immediately.

Elaine said we might have one diet soda per week. I do not recall that

she specified brands.

Given that caramel coloring is often derived from sugar, and that natural

flavors render anything else illegal, my personal feeling would be to

find (or make) a ginger ale or lemon-lime soda which did not have those

ingredients.

However, people often tell me that I am unreasonably suspicious. I'm

about to head for bed, and I will acknowledge that I haven't bothered to

look up the ingredients in the major diet sodas because I've been working

on my writing. I'll be surprised, though, if the lot of them don't have

" natural flavors. "

The only thing I can conclude is that Elaine felt it was unreasonable to

ask people to not only give up all grains and all starches and all

sodas... and felt the tiny bit of " natural flavoring " in one

soda once a week was the lesser of evils, and having one soda once a week

might mean the difference between sticking with the diet, and going nuts

and eating a whole giant serving of, say, MacMordor's fries.

OTOH, if my food diary says I don't tolerate it, then no matter how legal

it is, I'll set it aside. I can't do Aspartame, so diet sodas are right

out where I'm concerned -- and I knew that a good ten years before I

found SCD.

I do make a " cream soda " with a tablespoon or so of legal

vanilla extract in a glass of legal soda water. (Don't try to add honey,

unless you really LIKE having your glass explode in your face. Yes,

that's a soaked towel you see over there.)

That recipe for cream soda sounds really good. I'll have to try it.I like diet coke, but it kicks up my GERD and general gastritis something awful. It's also bad for your bones if you have more than 1 a week. Once in a while I have one, and then wonder why I did. Diet 7-up is not quite so acidic to me.
