I bought some xanthan gum to make my gravy with, but the package I bought doesn't have any nutritional information on it, and FitDay doesn't have info on xanthan gum (or any vegetable gum) on it. I'd like to be able to accurately count what I'm eating.

Also, I made an LC cranberry sauce this year but it didn't come out so good. I tried making it with just cranberries, water, and stevia, but it ended up very bitter tasting. I don't think that just adding more stevia is going to fix it. The texture came out great though!

I do have access to Splenda as my mom uses it regularly (and she lives right downstairs.) But I have fibromyalgia and I'm very chemically sensitive, and I'm not really sure how my body might react to sucralose. I'm also not sure how my body would react to sugar- obviously that would be a weight-loss concern but I'm not sure if it would be a health concern as well- in case it makes a difference I have the less processed "evaporated cane juice" in the house for my kids. I also have raw honey in the house- would that work in cranberry sauce?

So, my options for the sauce are:

1) Keep it the way it is and just not eat very much of it or enjoy it too much, or hope to aquire a taste for undersweetened cranberries.

2) Sweeten with sucralose and maybe have it make me sick

3) sweeten with sugar and make it higher carb

4) sweeten with raw honey and make it higher carb
