Guest guest Posted November 16, 2004 Report Share Posted November 16, 2004 Hi Kathleen, I'm Colton's mom..... I just read that you make cream pops? What is your general recipe? I'd like to get more creative with his food options.... So far, I've tried plain keto-koolaid popsicles.... but would like to hide some of the cream/oil in his other food. Any other ideas? Thanks, mary Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted November 16, 2004 Report Share Posted November 16, 2004 My grandson, Tanner, uses the splenda sweetener and it doesn't affect his seizures or his ketones. His nutricionist when he started said to try it if my daughter liked and see if it affected him. He sometimes drinks diet caffeine free pepsi and doesn't have trouble with it either. It has aspertame in it. Some people do have trouble with it, I hear, however. Hallie drink sweetners Isaac's mum here again, I'm interested in the response to the splenda sweetner. It sounds as though 'most' people have a poor response to it -- anyone using it successfully? I'm pretty sure I've read here in the past that Aspertame is to be avoided which is the sweetner in Crystal Lite and soft drinks. I haven't found any other drink alternatives here in Canada. I've seen reference to Keto products on the site but we don't have anything like that. What about Sugar Twin? Anyone know what the sweetner in that is and is there any way to create a palatable drink with that? Isaac still has (minor) daily seizures and I never know if they are related to something we are doing so I want to keep the diet as pure as possible. Prior to the drink thing I used nothing other than the pure foods. However the dehydration is obviously not acceptable and I can't 'make' him drink. Any thoughts? Thanks in advance for your help.

Guest guest Posted November 16, 2004 Report Share Posted November 16, 2004 We use both asparteme and splenda drinks with no problem. My son prefers the asparteme pops. Sugar free jello also uses asparteme sweetner. I liked all of 's suggestions of drinks. I'll have to try some of those. One question: By Celestial Springs teas do you mean Celestial Seasonings? Maybe there has been a name change. When trying to elminate aspartame a few months ago, I used unsweetened koolaid and club soda plus sweetner of choice to make a drink. But, again, my son prefers the aspartame drinks. If I were starting over, I probably would not have introduced him to the soda pops with aspartame. We have no problem with it (Often he drinks 2 cans per day), but I still worry. Perhaps problems could arise down the road.
