Thank you.I don't like the taste of sucralose either - took some searching to find a protein shake without it.
Coke Life perhaps? (Green topped bottle.)
Sweetened with stevia.
I actually hate stevia even more haha.midwesterner85 wrote: »I love Diet Pepsi - sucralose has been in Diet Pepsi for months, so you must not drink much of it anyway.

It's the sweetner. I had been drinking diet iced tea for the past few months and literally bought Diet Pepsi again last night. I used to drink it all the time though.shinycrazy wrote: »Diet dr pepper for the win. Yes, they do make a caffeine free version.

My doctor has not and told me there is nothing wrong with it, just reduce caffeine intake. I did not ask for advice about whether or not I should consume it. You do you, I will do me.
She was telling you, what she was advised; she wasn't advising you!
Why would a different doctor's advice to a different pregnant woman be relevant to elphie's thread about elphie's soda of choice?
It isn't but that isn't what my response, was concerning.0 -

Ok. My apologies for misunderstanding.1 -
I also recommend the sprite zero and here in kentucky we have this drink Ale 8, it's a ginger ale but very strong ginger.0

No problem & thank you, I wish most people; were like you!2 -
Target had the best diet, caffeine free selection I had seen in a long time. I think they had orange.
They also now have a huge gluten free section (frozen) with udis meals. I was overjoyed to find that. Never do much food shopping there though so never explored the soda section.

I agree it's really gross now.
It used to be my favorite then I got on a diet Dr pepper kick and didn't buy diet pepsi for months. A couple weeks ago pepsi was on sale and Dr pepper out of stock so we got a few 2 liters diet pepsi. I couldn't finish one cup of it because of the aftertaste. It doesn't taste the same at all. Down the drain the rest of all of it went.
Diet Dr pepper or nothing now lol.1 -
Diet Coke (and water of course. Why do people assume that one must be drunk at the exclusion of the other? Boggle.)
Congrats on the little one!
Thank you!i don't know how you feel about orange soda, but it is caffeine free. i like crush brand:)
I've never seen diet orange soda?
What?? Oh my goodness, you need to find it. I haven't had diet orange soda in a while. I forgot about it! I'm going to grab some tomorrow!

I've always preferred Diet Coke personally - it's what I grew up on
I also really enjoy making fizzy drinks with my soda stream - not because I think it's "healthier" - I don't think diet sodas are unhealthy. I just like making different drinks and the fizziness is what I like from soda so it works
Good luck - with finding a new diet soda and with the baby

Thank you. I had looked into a soda stream about a year ago, but due to allergies, couldn't use any of the syrups. May look into it again to see if they have any new ones I could have.0 -
Do you have Sonic nearby? I love their diet cherry limeade, and you can totally mix and match flavors, i also get a sprite zero with a squirt of peach or blackberry in it, yum. I make a version at home with sprite zero, fresh limes and those jar cherries and a squirt of the cherry koolaide add-in and they have lime in a generic.0

There's no need to use the branded syrups with the machine. It's just a special contraption to inject CO2 into your choice of liquid. I believe my husband has carbonated Vodka. I sometimes intentionally shake my pop to remove most of the carbonation, so I'm not a huge Soda Stream customer.1 -
I noticed when I was pregnant I turned into a super taster. Things that were otherwise mildly yucky tasted horrific and things that I loved like coffee and bacon tasted vomitototious (made up word). Congrats on the baby!
I love Diet Dr. Pepper and yes, they make a caffeine free one.1 -

This happened to me also. I would get sick even smelling certain things. I couldn't eat eggs because for whatever reason, it just didn't taste right.
I'm also a fan of diet dr pepper. I tasted it after reading people here rave about it . It really does taste nice.1 -
Water, LOL. I personally gave up soda, even diet soda, because of the long list of unnatural ingredients in it.4

I was a life-long Diet Pepsi drinker and couldn't believe the nasty aftertaste when they switched sweeteners either. Blech! My husband brought home some Coke Zero, and I've never looked back. Diet Dr. Pepper/Dr. Pepper 10 is also good.0

Carbonated vodka?!? Oh this is definitely something to try later on down the road (after birth and no longer breast feeding).SkunkOnARug wrote: »Water, LOL. I personally gave up soda, even diet soda, because of the long list of unnatural ingredients in it.
Once again, was not looking for reasons not to enjoy soda.

Picked up diet mug root beer this AM. Definitely a much better option.10

We buy generic diet soda often. Walmart has a couple generic brands in caffeine-free that are decent. (I'm expecting as well so also had to switch to caffeine free, which does taste worse than caffeinated imo but is tolerable .)
Food Lion and Martins grocery stores also have a good variety of flavors of generic caffeine free diet sodas like orange, lemon lime, diet root beer etc. I'm sure your grocery stores have their own generic varieties as well.
I buy Diet Coke only for hubby at Costco now ever since Diet Pepsi made the switch. I used to buy whichever was cheaper (which was usually Diet Pepsi) but hubby noticed a difference right away and can't stand it so now we (typically) pay a little more for Diet Coke. I always preferred Diet Coke anyway, Diet Pepsi tastes flatter and goes flat quickly imo.
Congrats on the little one and good luck in your search for decent soda, lol.2 -
At work last night and I grab my usually Diet Pepsi (although this time caffeine free). After a few sips, I had such a nasty aftertaste in my mouth. At first I thought it might just be me and new adversion to foods (pregnant). My partner noticed I wasn't drinking it and asked why, so I mentioned the weird, sickly sweet after taste. He goes, same here, ever since they switched from aspartame to sucralose. Blaugh!!! I hate sucralose, always have. Guess I need to find a new diet soda. Any suggestions?
The only thing i can add is that if left for a couple of months in the pantry, diet coke corrodes the can and leeks out. Happened twice already. Just think what it does to your body if it corrodes aluminum can.

Um it doesn't sit in your body for months plus have you ever seen the erosive effect of stomach acid, vinegar or lemon?9

Sparkling water with a spritz of flavoring. I don't know if they make cola flavoring, though.0

I really like diet orange soda, but I just want to point out that they aren't all caffeine free. Diet Sunkist orange has caffeine. I learned that one the hard way.
My caffeine-free diet soda has always been diet A&W root beer. Sometimes I get diet ginger ale or diet cream soda.2 -
Once again I didn't ask if I should drink soda or not. Not sure why anti soda people always seem to need to post things like this. I'll do me, you do you.[/quote]
It's a forum, you asked for suggestions because you didn't like that soda anymore. Drinking water instead of any soda is a great suggestion, healthiest for you and your baby, but you do whatever you want, of course.4 -
I think she's more annoyed with people coming in here spewing pseudoscience woo about something they don't understand as facts instead of opinions.Once again I didn't ask if I should drink soda or not.
