Re: Stevia extract leaf and marshmellow root?

[Guest guest]

Stevia as has no calories or carbs and is safe for hypoglycemics--sp and

diabetics, seems safe to me. I use it regularly but very sparingly as the bottle

I bought has trace amounts of alcohol in it. (Alcohol turns to sugar in our

systems..)

If you want stevia as a sweetener on its own and not as added to something else,

my daughter tells me she has found a stevia that has no alcohol but is mixed

with glycerin..

I was trying a new fiber concoction and it has stevia extract leaf and

marshmellow root in it. Are these ok for candida? Thanks Doug

Louise, thanks for the input. How about the marshmellow root? As it turns out

that fiber concoction caused me bloating so I will not use it. I am thinking my

psyllium is causing chronic leg stiffness and I am looking for a

soluble/insoluble fiber to help me with bowel issues. i gave up the inulin since

I read about the klebsiella issues. I found out that the maker of alot of fiber

concoctions represented at Whole Foods says she avoids using psyllium because so

many people are allergic to it. Doug

I would most likely agree with you Doug, the fiber is an issue with your

problem. Psyllium is not good to take for a digestive issue. Have you looked at

www.fibermenace.com? He explains this well.

Wil, what exactly does he say about fiber. I'm not being rude but with all his

ideas about constipation I am not up to listening to his whole essay.  The

psyllium works well for me, and I'm not sure my problem comes from the psyllium,

I am going to have to do an elimination of various substances I am taking to

find out. I have had stiffness in my lower legs for 1-2 months and don't know if

it is arthritis from winter or something I am consuming. Since the psyllium

works better than anything so far, I probably will be looking for something

similar. I'm getting ready to check the web for other's side effects of

psyllium. Thanks Doug

Wil, I checked with " web side effects " . I see that it can lower blood sugar. I

am either pre-diabetic or insulin resistant and so that would affect me. I have

noticed that my finger tips were unsusually numb and white this winter so that

could be the psyllium. Also, in diabetes one's tendons can be negatively

affected causing a thickening effect. While I don't think I have permanent

change to my tendons in 2 months, again, it may be a blood sugar effect( low

blood sugar) which is causing my lower legs, principally my achilles tendons to

be chronically tight. I will try being off of the psyllium for a week and hope

to find a substitute soon. Doug
