Re: Help please....juices to use with yeast problem

[Guest guest]

,

Not all agree with the use of stevia, but it has helped us. I give our daughter

about 20 ounces of water, with a little bit of lemon juice and a dash of stevia.

You could even use a little stevia to sweeten the pure cranberry juice and

water. It's pretty tasty.

We are on a modified SCD. Hope this helps.

Help please....juices to use with yeast problem

Hello: We are trying to get to straight water rather than diluted

juice. We have been doing VERY diluted pear juice that is homemade

mainly from the water/pears we made pearsauce with. It is not sweet

at all.. I think it tastes horrible and almost like water but my son

craves it and loves it still.

We tried switching to water with just a little organic cranberry

juice with NO sugar. This stuff tastes terrible! He won't drink it

at all and I wondered if I could add a drop of liquid sweet n low

(legal on SCD diet we are on) and if this would be better than

letting him have the diluted pear juice.

We really are trying to get to totally water but I am afraid he is

getting dehydrated... he only drank about 3 ounces today when

normally he would have consumed more like 20+ ounces by 1 PM. He is

going through many changes right now with new supplements and yeast

die off so I would like to be able to get fluids in him if it is

possible to do so without being counterprodutive to the measures we

are taking to control yeast.

Any suggestions on whether the drop of sweetner in diluted cranberry

juice (8/1) or the diluted pear juice would be best to use??

Thanks so much for any suggestions!

My son liked the unsweetened cranberry juice diluted with water and a couple

drops of stevia. Don't use aspartame (Sweet 'n' Low). Stevia is pretty good

in cold drinks (iced tea, lemonade, etc.).

-Thanks Lynne... I was actually using the Sweet N Low because it is

the only sweetner that I can find that is legal on SCD. I actually

have not used more than 5 drops in the months we've been on the diet

but had it here just in case we needed it. I don't like *ANY*

artificial sweetners actually but wanted something in the house to

comply with the diet if possible. I hope we can just get switched to

water soon but he is sooo resistant. We have been about 1/2 way

there for weeks now. I think some of this is his craving for the

sugar to feed the yeast but I also think he just likes having some

flavor in his drinks too.

This too shall pass! Just don't want him to get dehydrated with all

the other changes he is going through right now.

Thanks again!

I didn't realize that stevia wasn't legal on SCD.

For us, it helped to provide junior sport bottles and drinks with lots of

crushed ice.
