Anyone use stevia?

[torinsmom]

I am hearing more and more about stevia as an aritificial sweetener and want to know people's experiences with using it. I drink diet soda once a day and Sam's water with nutrasweet most of the rest of the day. I have found that more that one serving of Splenda gives me a migraine, so that one is out. I wish I could stomach plain water, but I just can't do that as my sole beverage.

Anybody tried it?

I tried it for a while and while i liked it, it made me feel weird. I would get low blood sugar symptoms, and anxiety symptoms while using it. Weird.

We use it. I have medical issues and see a natural nutrition person she recomends the use of stevia or unrefined sugar (sugar in the raw) instead of anything else.

I use a packet in the morning for coffee and I find it tastes much better than equal and even splenda. No migranes or other problems.

I went to see my doctor today and she said she would recommend stevia or agave nectar. Now I just need to find it locally so I can give it a try. I would love to see if aspartame may be part of my headache problem.
