I was just curious if any of you are using stevia as a sweetener and how it's working for you. I'm trying to cut back from sugar and wanted to try stevia since its a natural source.

I've read where some artificial sweeteners can aggravate fibro, so I wanted to check with you guys.

Thanks.

I use Stevia or Splenda in things like coffee/tea, always have. I have never seen a correlation between artificial sweetners and my own FM.

Stevia. I use palm sugar or honey for baking.

I had several samples of stevia a few years ago and liked it, so I bought a box of packets of stevia.

It seemed almost super sweet, and a little goes a long way, but I did like it. Only thing is that once I used up the packets, I kept (and keep) forgetting to add it to my grocery list. Thanks---you just reminded me! :)
