I have been getting really bad stomach aches for the past few months- ever since I started drinking a lot of crystal lite- I was drinking at least half a pitcher of it a night
so I realized on friday night that I hadn't drank any and I felt better- but this was only after drinking it all sunday night and being doubled over in pain
I didn't drink any last night and I feel so much better- no stomach pain last night
I just did some research and it kind of scary what I uncovered- I think I am going to be limiting the amount of fake sugar I consume

Re: I think I am allergic to sugar subsitutes....
that nutrasweet casues all kinds of problems from stomach aches, head aches, cancer-
the research on splenda said it was too new to tell- but splenda does not have the same affect on me- I just ate yogurt with splenda and I am fine
I think it's ok in small amounts- but I was over doing it

I agree. I don't use any of that stuff anymore. It kills my stomach. Most of it can have a laxative effect. Yikes!
So I drink diet soda rarely and mostly water. You may be sensitive to it.
I am fine with it and I use it quite often. I don't drink diet or any soda but I use it in tea, coffee, yogurt

My DH is diabetic and he thinks that most sugar subsitutes make him sick. He does drink crystal light, but in general he does not like any fake sweeteners. People often try to treat him to sugar free cakes and stuff but he'd rather just not eat anything sweet. He's really used to not having sweets and he hardly even thinks about sweets except when he has low sugar and it's a necessity.
I'm curious what else you find out!

There was a study that the cancer links haven't been proven effectively - HOWEVER - my stomach is sensitive to just about anything - and yes, I could NEVER handle crystal light!!!! VERY bad for the tummy!!! Most diet sodas hurt my stomach, I only drink water anyway - and coffee - only 1 cup, because my stomach responds poorly to that as well...

Re: I think I am allergic to sugar subsitutes....
We were just talking about this on Friday actually about the fake sugars; although not Splenda. But all the fake sugars that are listed in all the 'diet' stuff, actually cause MS-like symptoms along w/ bad stomach cramping and cramping and stiffness of certain muscles.
We went food shopping this weekend and didnt buy one can or bottle of diet soda.....and we usually stack up at about 4 cases.
Yeah, that stuff is no good!

splenda doesn't bother me- it's all the other kinds
