One of the main ingredients is sucralose. I strongly advise against this sweetener. Sucralose has 3 chlorine atoms in it which get released when probiotic gut bacteria try to metabolize it - killing them. It can also INCREASE insulin resistance. Instead, I advise using stevia drops. Much better for your body. This is basically the only sweetener I use in my drinks.

Never heard of it, but looks like a combo of sucralose/sacharrin? I’m not signed onto the popular anti-sucralose wagon. Ton’s of people claim it wrecks your gut, well, I use a lot of it, and have for many years. My guts just fine, and I’ve done enough microbiome testing to back that up. I’ve also repaired a ton of gut damage over the years, using it throughout, not a problem in my gut, and actually tastes the way sugar would.

Sucralose is an RA flare trigger for me. Makes my finger joints swell. Definitely keep an eye on unusual symptoms if you like it.

And that’s one thing, if you’ve positively identified a direct issue and ruled out it couldn’t be something else that happened to coincide, ya, remove it.

I was diagnosed lactose intolerance twice by different doc using different methods, it was a 100% match from me consuming dairy to hell breaking loose, for years. Then I fixed my gut and it’s all good now. Also when all the gut/GI testing started. I don’t have RA, but the Arthritis is bad enough in a few spots that it’s an RA painkiller they give me, hasn’t been an issue in a while… I’m sure I’ll regret saying that now.

On that though, is it really the Sucralose? Or something about your gut that makes that go haywire? Could be real? Or not. It’s a rabbit hole for sure. When I was worried about it the first thing I went for was the overall diversity and concentration of my gut bugs, and they were very much optimal, that’s how I knew it wasn’t killing them, plus that was after a couple months of Seed Synbiotic, which is strong as hell! Stuff literally made my back pain go through the roof, wouldn’t think probiotics could pull that one off! But been off Seed for a long time now and still no dairy issues, whatever caused the GI problem, it fixed it.
