Default Agave Nectar Sweetner = BAD!!!

I went to Kansas City to visit my mom for Mother's Day and I think she nearly killed me! She made me try a sweetner called Agave. It comes from a plant similar to Tequila. Anyway, it is supposed to be all natural, but says it has 15 g of sugar per serving. I told my mom that I have had bad reactions to every sweetner except aspartame (Equal). Splenda put me in the hospital for a month soon after my surgery. I decided to please mom and put the sweetner in my coffee, cereal, and tea throughout the day. I probably had about 6 servings of the sweetner in total (90 g of sugar!!!) By day's end I was cramping severly and dry heaving.

I was sweating and screaming in a ball on the floor in their bathroom. I never felt as much pain as I experienced in those cramps. My parents were getting ready to take me to the hospital when I finally passed out from exhaustion and when I woke the pains were gone.

Anyway, I just wanted to pass it on that Agave was not a good choice for me, so beware! It is so hard for me to find things I can eat that do not have sugar or splenda in them, but I finally found an egg protien made by Jay Robb (Jay Robb Official Site - The Fruit Flush 3 Day Detox, The Fruit Diet, All Natural Whey Protein Powder) that I can handle. All the other powder protiens have splenda in them.

Alt Weight Loss Surgery Insurance
Yes, you can often get insurance cover for your Weight Loss Surgery.
Our own Craig "Big-T" Thompson has been there and done that, and he's written an e-book about it.

Wow look at your before and now pics! You look simply awsome.

I to cant do any artifical sweetners but my reaction is different. My joints litteraly kill me. I have a brother it does the same thing to. If i dont know its in what ever I consume I know the next am. I will be bedfast in pain. I found this out through trial and error. Splenda is the worst for me to.

Thank you again for the heads up and Im glad you recovered.

You look FANTASTIC!!!

I wonder what a serving is? I've tried to check on the amount of sugars in sugar and it looks like anywhere from 1-4g in anywhere from 1-2tsps. So this sweetener sounds WORSE than sugar itself!
