My Crohn's is in complete remission but that is very good to know about  the Crystal Light Pure.  I'm trying to eliminate as many artificial things from my diet as possible.

That IS odd since Jay Robb is made with Stevia.  I haven't had a problem with after taste on anything and I've tolerated the sweetness post surgery unlike others that can not.

Good luck on your search to find what works for you!
Be blessed!

Just found this drink today in the store that is called OXY WATER..... comes in all flavors, it is calorie, sugar and carb free, no artificial sweetners cause I hate that **** It also has 100% of vit. B3, B5, B6, and B12 each.... pretty good... the kids like it.

 You might check Sobe Lifewater, it's made with Stevia. You could probably make popsicles out of it too. There are lots of other drink options if you go to Whole Foods or PCC type grocery, they tend to stay away from artificials and carry more products with natural sweeteners like erythritol and stevia. (Erythritol is derived from wood for those curious. It is a zero calorie sweetener and is awesome for low-carb baking).

 I just went to Vitamin Shoppe to stock up, becuase I have to do 10 days of SF clear liquids, 10 days of basically meat only + salad, and then 10 more days of clear liquids before surgery.  I picked up a couple sample packets of Jay Robb protein powder, it's made with Stevia. It doesn't have any artificial colors either. I picked up a tropical dreamsicle and chocolate. Haven't tried them yet. But at least they are natural and 25g protein with 1 carb,
