The only diet sodas that I could tolerate was Dr. Pepper Ten (I believe, that's what it's called & I only bought it because I had a really great coupon, since it was a new item; at the time & I never bought it again) & Vanilla Coke Zero. I never tried Diet Dr. Pepper & while I always liked Dr. Pepper (I've lost interest, in the taste), it always had a funny taste (can't describe it any other way) to it; like when I've tried other diet sodas. I only tried Vanilla Coke Zero because of a must buy 4 sale & they only had 3 Vanilla Cokes. It didn't taste as funny, as other diet sodas & when it was/is really challenging to stay within my calorie goal, I'd choose that soda; as an alternative.0

There's also a Diet Cherry Dr. Pepper. I've seen it at the gas station near the park I run at.

I hope they still do, I haven't bought it; in a couple of years because I was trying to stay away from soda but I am craving soda somewhat again. I believe Canada once had Coffee Coke (in regular).1 -
I drink a lot of herb teas that I make iced tea out of! Some are sweet without adding anything to it, so you don't have to concern yourself with an outside source of sweetener... Lemon ginger, licorice, raspberry, orange spice, peppermint.. there are so many options.. Hot or iced! and you know what you are drinking.. plus its more hydrating than soda..
and most are naturally decaf..

Most people don't & I myself'll only read 5 to 10 pages of 1, depending upon how interesting; it is but I usually comment when I see a post, that I'd like to comment to; after reading a full page because otherwise I'll forget, what page; the post was on.1 -

Have you tried looking into store-brand colas? There have been a couple over the years that I found were better than name-brand, and the cheaper brands will likely still be using aspartame.1

LOL yeah... it was her first post and I was trying to be nice.
I tend to read the whole thread but will easily forget what was said if it's been ongoing for a day or two so I do the same as you with replies.
But elphie has made it crystal clear she wasn't looking for an alternative to soda.0 -
I'm on a strict low-FODMAP diet, and sucralose DESTROYS my guts lmao. May I recommend Fresca? It's kinda grapefruit-y/citrus-y tasting and it's 0 cal with aspartame!
It's my saviour as quite a few diet drinks have sucralose haha 2 -
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.
Oh I don't buy the syrups they sell. Didn't really like any of them. I usually add mio or fruit juice If you're looking for diet pepsi taste, it doesn't help. But if you're just wanting carbonation with a taste you like then it works. 0 -

Exactly. Many can cause miscarriage. Also-not all tea is decaf.0 -

Only joking am a diet drink lover here. I would use diluting fruit squash with sparkling water though0 -
I always have 12 packs of coke zero cherry and vanilla and usually a diet cream soda i can only find at wal-mart. . .they will last me months but sometimes at the end of the day you want something sweet and you don't want to break your calorie bank. My doctor told me if they don't cause me headaches or make me want to eat everything in the house there is no reason to avoid. Going to be getting a soda stream when life allows me to have enough money for more than 10 minutes. . .im talking to you perscription glasses. . /sigh2
