Don't think Keto is for me

Low sugar usually contains artificial sweeteners, sweeteners are terrible for the stomach! As others have said though these diet/low sugar/zero sugar drinks still effect some peoples BG. I used to love pepsi max but when I actually saw how much it affected my results I stopped drinking it. Maybe invest in a BG meter so you can see what you're sensitive to?

Hi, I do have a bg meter and my levels are pretty good - mid 5's and lower most of the time. But regardless it seems the sweeteners were the culprit of my stomach issues so no more sugar free drinks for me
 
Are you able to tolerate, or enjoy any of the fruit or herbal teas around. They make a pleasant and warming change from water. My favourites are the ginger based ones, and of course you can always make ginger tea from real root ginger, which is reputed to have beneficial effects on digestion.

Sorry for the late reply, I haven't been on here much again. I haven't tried them to be honest and have faithfully stuck to water and all is working as it should
