Truvia

Is anyone drinking anything that has stevia/truvia in it? I have a hard time drinking plain water all the time and I bought some crystal light pure that's sweetened with stevia.  Just want to make sure this is safe.

I would personally just stick with straight up stevia.  Truvia still contains sugar alcohols and it used to aggravate my IBS when I used it in my tea.

I don't like it. I add a splash of Pom juice or cranberry juice to my sparkling water when I need it.

I have been using stevia in the raw and having some crystal light. I have GD though so I don't have a ton of choices. I would go with pp idea and just mix a little juice in.

There is zero research or testing or understanding of how Stevia responds in pregnancy so the official recommendation is to avoid it.  However, like everything else, you decide whether the risk outweighs the benefit or vice versa.  But ask your doc/mw if you want a professional opinion.

I also bought some Crystal Light Pure this week...plain water was making me nuts.  My Dr. said a little "fake sugar" a day was OK.
