When I moved abroad, I obviously changed my eating habits. After 5 years, my skin started itching so madly that sometimes I was bleeding out of too much scratching. I then started a long process of food / soap control, retiring and reintroducing what I thought were the most susceptible to be the problem (peanut butter, tomatoes, washing powder, etc.). I suspected very quickly the diet cola but refused for a long while to admit it (I love my pop so much!!) 🙂
But lately, I stopped cold turkey and the itching is almost gone now. Of course, there are sugar substitute in so many food now that I don’t think it’s possible to completely stop the intake…And I sure am now resigned to itch for the rest of my life…as long as it doesn’t make me turn crazy like before!
I now think sugar substitute is really bad and should not be allowed in the food and drinks. andree.gelinas@gmail.com
