Well, you know I love my coffee in the mornings, but I have been using commercial creamer and I am starting to get food-sensitivity-symptoms. This morning, I had fruit for breakfast and my coffee (almond milk + creamer + coffee) and, not an hour later, here are a headache and nausea, just like I had when I became sensitive to eggs.
So, if that's not TMI . . . I guess I am looking for a substitute for commercial creamer. Maybe a syrup? I can't have splenda/sucralose. Or maybe a flavoring that goes well with stevia.
What do you think? Do you have any suggestions? |

Oh that is a difficult one to find a substitute. Those commercial creamers full of high fructose corn syrup and other chemicals can make some people ill. And maybe you are allergic to almonds. Also Fruit in the morning is a big enough dose of sugar and maybe paired with the sweetener in your coffee could be giving you a headache. Also coffee in some people raises glucose. Boo hoo, no real good news here. Slowly switch to decaf coffee and see if your headaches go away. I use Sweet Leaf Stevia because it only has plant fiber in it and Stevia, no dextrose like some of the stevia brands have. Good Luck! Annie

Wow Jennifer, that is a tough one. I have a friend that had to go to goat milk and it works perfect for her.

Drink it black! I used to hate black coffee. but then I got diabetes and the creamer had to go. I have learned to love it.

Barbara, I used to drink sugar and creamer in my coffee but now I drink it black. I actually like it better.

| Lori, I'm with you and Barbara. Started drinking it black after I gave up sugar several years ago, and after about 2 cups of black java, I never looked back. |
