what about splenda?
I have problems eating sugar, natural or white. It gives me this
really sick feeling and gives me the shakes, like a low sugar. So I
try to stay away, but of course I’ve always been a sugar addict, so
I’ve started using splenda, well ever since the surgery. I was
wondering, I know it’s made from real sugar, is that a good thing gone
wrong, is it something I can have….afterall I hate sweet and low or
equal, yuck, who thinks that actually taste like sugar, someone with
no taste buds, lol, just joking….anyway, wondering about splenda, oh
yeah, as I had said before I love milk, it doesn’t bother me, I’m sure
I’m a lucky one…I guess, cause now I look at the carbs in it, wow
that’s a lot, I can do the skilm milk 1%, but I just can’t do that fat
free totally, but does that hurt as well if it’s not the fat free
totally, cause of the carbs? thanks Amanda

If you’ve been bypassed, then you will always have a certain amount of fat
malabsorption. In the files of the OSSG site, you can see what is absorbed
where. Therefore, your body will cope with a certain amount of fat. Which
is why I’ll do heavy cream rather than 1% milk. My body doesn’t cope with
sugars. Many of the people I’ve talked to who are GBS patients don’t cope
with sugars. Skim milk and fat free have all the sugars of full fat milk.
It’s only until you get into the half and half or the cream that the sugars
go down.
Only you will know your body, only you will know how you react to sugars and
fats. We’re all a little different. But if you find that sugars make you
want more sugars, and you’re unwilling to give up milk, then you might
consider carb countdown for when you cook. If you find that milk makes you
a little nauseous, then you’re showing lactose intolerance, and I’d avoid
it. You can still have hard cheeses and possibly half and half or cream,
diluted. (very little carbs and lactose).
