I use Splenda and have no issues

I don’t drink hydration drinks other than Gatorade zero sugar but never add to it

the Splenda goes in my oatmeal or cereal

I have never had any issues with any artificial sweeteners. Sometimes candies with sorbitol can cause diarrhea, but that is a known issue with sugar alcohols.

It is just a matter of quantity. It does not cause damage.

I use stevia in my coffee everyday! I have no issues with it.

As Jan said, sugar alcohols are a known problem. The issue with stevia is that the majority of the time, stevia is combined with a sugar alcohol - often either xylitol or manitol, etc.  So be very careful in looking at the ingredients. I steer clear of stevia for that reason. If you can find pure stevia it should be ok, I think.

anyone have issues with drinking hydration drinks with NO SUGAR but substituted with STEVIA? i have heard Stevia is not pouch friendly in the FB jpouch groups

Use all the time w/ no issues.

Ive read Body Armor is a good source of hydration but they have Stevia in them. ingredients just say "Stevia sweetner".
