 Are there any sugar-free syrups that DON'T use Splenda?

I can't eat tons of Splenda--it gives me tremors. And I'm finding that lots of stuff I'll be taking, has some in them. I'm very diligent about reading labels, so I know it is in EVERYTHING--vitamins, shakes, sweeteners... *sigh*

 Check this one out- says it's made with stevia.

Also you might try your local organic market, they may have products made with stevia not available in big box or chain stores....

 I am with you on the splenda issue. I do not use it at all if I can help it.  I honestly think they are going to figure out in a few year that like some of the other artificial sweeteners it is not good for you.  I didnt realize that the syrups were sweetened with splenda when I ordered them off amazon.  It is frustrating!!

 I hear you...I started using Splenda a lot when it first came out. Then, one day while I was in class, I couldn't hold my pen, and I was super jittery. After a few days of detoxing off of it, I was fine.

I know some people don't have any issues with it, but after that episode, I try to limit how much I'm eating. Probably why I gained my weight back--I switched back o regular sugar! LOL

 I keep thinking it might be safer to just go back to regular old sugar, but don't want to gain weight back.

so far i have pretty much avoided all artifical sweetners, i am just very sensitive to them....i have used some stevia...i only drink water or milk, i do make fresh squeezed lemonade, i use a cup of lemon juice and a cup of stevia, splenda and some reg sugar...way less of the regular sugar, but so far this has worked for me....before surgyer, i would have used a whole cup of the real sugar..but not its not even 1/4 cup for a big jug of lemonade....but i dont drink the crystal light stuff as it has asparteme in it and i get major migrines from that...sorpitol is a laxative.....but so far, i have not had any problems and i must not dump as i have not had any problems with the sugery at all, i am just shy of a year post op...
good luck
