Cystitis sachets

[jaxx]

Has anyone had to have those citric acid granules for cystitis post bypass? I think I'm starting with a slight case but checking the sugar content on the side of the packet I'm concerned they'll make me dump. It said there was 1.5g of sugar in a 5.58g sachet. I don't want to take one and end up feeling worse.

1.5g overall wouldn't make you dump. When following the 5g per 100g rule you have to bare in mind the overall quantity you are consuming. So while it is a high percentage because you're only having one sachet at a time the actual volume of sugar you are consuming is negligible.

If it helps, the guidance I was given was no more than 15g total in one sitting, which has always worked for me and I am a dumper.

Thanks for that. I ended up having one and mixing it in a pint of water just to be sure. Lol
