can i have diet coke while on a sugar free diet for candida? if not what kinds of sugar free things can i have?

No. Do some searches on fructose, sucrose, they all break down into sugar in your body-- even though its not called sugar. This is why dried fruits and high carb levels are also off limits-- its the same as eating plain sugar.
Also Diet Coke is horrrrrible for detox efforts. Try out Zevia, they have it at whole foods-- made with stevia (herb), no sugar no calories, I love it :-)

- GREEN TEA is good. YOGI CHAI GREEN is my favorite.
Diet soda is very toxic to a human for many reasons, some described here:
Excitotoxins; MSG; Aspartame; & "Natural" Flavors -

I've read that artificial sweeteners reduce "friendly" bacteria in the gut.
If you want carbonated beverages, buy plain sparkling water and put fresh squeezed lemon juice & a little stevia in it.

Has anyone had a bad reaction to stevia? I cannot tolerate artificial sweeteners. I tried stevia and got the same,type of awful headache as with artificial sweeteners.

I loved Diet Coke, but the aspartame is a neurotoxin...so I had to quit Posted by ralphi (Member # 33834) on :
Just an FYI Zevia soda also has Erithryol in it. Doesn't bother me, but it's not 100% stevia as they lead you to believe.

I know I can't. I can no longer tolerate stevia either. Grows yeast for me.
sugar alcohols are really bad too, by the way

yea yeast is a big problem for me, diet coke always gives me a strange buzz, not horrific, but its better then sugar so I justify it. In the end though aspartame is a nasty toxin that none of us need. Splenda was alot better for me. So I drink weight watchers diet soda with splenda, has plenty of flavor and no ill effects.
Posted by Lymetoo (Member # 743) on :
splenda is not good either .. the gut still considers it to be sugar
Posted by Razzle (Member # 30398) on :
Splenda is not good either...has a lot of maltodextrin in it, from what I understand...
