A SPLENDA QUESTION

[crystalhummer]

Hi all,

First of all - just a note - I came through my birthday dinner with flying colors - they had steak with no marinade and salad (both great for me) and then ther was the baked potato, rolls, baked beans and corn - all of which did not scream my name (well maybe the corn) and then during cake time I had my sugar free jello and whipped cream!!!  Guess what?  I rock!!!!!

Anyhow, I had sweet tea - about 3 glasses made with Splenda and I knew I had seen "something" about Splenda having carbs - I told my friend but she said no - it's great.  I read the posts when I got home.  I'm trying to figure out how bad I was.

Also, I usually take my iced tea with nothing and after drinking 3 glasses  (HOT, HOT, HOT IN AZ),  of the splenda tea I had some very bad heartburn.  I don't think I've had heartburn like this in, well forever.  Could the Splenda cause bad heartburn.  Inquiring minds and all that!!

Splenda has 1 carb per packet.

Beebs is right, but if its the only choice then use it.Pop a couple stevia packets in your purse next time, cause if you are anything like me, you don't just drink one glass

I'd say the heartburn came from the type of tea she served. High caffeine can cause it as well as tea leaf residue. I am Very Very proud of you for living the life during times of temptation! Well done

Crystal, if you're honest with yourself, you'll know deep down inside that it feels so much better to make the right choices than to taste for 30 seconds something that is not good for you.

You should be very proud of yourself. You passed the hardest test: the first one! Way to go!

Crystal, Good job! Oh yea 



HAPPY BIRTHDAY
