TROUBLE with Stevia

Anyone have gastrointestinal trouble with Stevia??? I have tried using it for baked goods and sprinkling on things like sweet potatoes, but I just get really bloated and gassy!! I can use truvia, but stevia in the raw and other brands of Stevia do not agree with me! I am super sad, Splenda doesn't bother me a bit, but I was really trying to get away from it. Just wondering if anyone else had experienced neg side effects of stevia? :blushing:

    I go through phases where I try "health food" so yes I gave Stevia a try. It was absolutely disgusting. I have no idea why that stuff is marketed.

    I would strongly recommend using real sugar in moderation. If you can't then use Splenda.

    I really do like it, it sweetens things nicely, it just gives me BAD StUFF afterwards!!!

    If it does that then definitely don't eat it!
