If you want to use this QR code (Quick Response code) just save the image and paste it where you want. You can even print it and use it that way. Coffee cups, T-Shirts etc would all be good for the QR code.

Sorry for bombarding with posts about supplements and whatnot - trying to do my shopping, and do it wisely!! What brand Stevia do you all like, and why? Also, do you prefer certain websites/sellers over others for having greater integrity in their product handling? Thanks in advance  Mary
Husband diagnosed with AS in '92. Enbrel appx 2011- March 2013 when ER doctor temporarily terminated. Grateful to have finally found Kickas in April 2013 and NSD since May 2013. Since NSD no need to resume Enbrel. Enbrel only helped hip pain, did not touch chest pain. Since NSD, both hip and chest pain have improved. Still takes pain and other pills daily, but far fewer.

I wont bother telling you what brand I use as I'm here in New Zealand so it probably wont help you much.
But you want to find one with a high percentage of Rebaudioside A (like 90%) because this is the component of Stevia which is sweet but doesn't give that horrible aftertaste.

The only Stevia I like is from Sweet Leaf http://www.sweetleaf.com/I am not a big fan of stevia in general, but if I were restricted from using natural sweeteners like honey, maple syrup, and coconut sugar/nectar I would use Sweet Leaf. -Andrea
I'm now a KICK AS (and Kick IBD) success story!! After going low starch Paleo to heal my gut, I can now eat nearly all starches, grains & foods without inflammation, flare-ups, or pain. I used a modified SCD diet approach (minus dairy! plus cacao ♥). Cheers to healing & thriving again! I blog at http://www.forestandfauna.com/about/
