Stevia

Is stevia ok to use? The organic plant sweetener

[claygi]

Yes, although if you have a fatty liver too, it is not ok. My GI doc said only Splenda does not make a fatty liver. All other sweeteners function like sugar or and processed similarly by the liver and can make then fatty deposits more prominent.

So Splenda is ok with pbc?

[claygi in reply to Pamela4475]

The GI doc told me yes. I then went to UCLA to my hepatologist and he said yes as well. He actually told me I had no eating restrictions, but warned against eating too much sugar because of my dual diagnosis with fatty liver.

Wow, I didn't know that. Thanks for saying something. I switched to Stevia because I thought maybe it was healthier than Splenda. Glad to know. Thank you!
