I am no whiz kid about Aspartame and FM but I went off all artificial sweeteners and my IBS got better. Not cured but better. These days an inch is as good as a mile. I don’t blindly trust everything I hear in this support group but if it sounded reasonable, I give it a try. Let’s face it once CFS and FM was dismissed by the medical field for years and those who continue to seek help was given placebos and told us it was all in our heads. In fact migraine suffers were once thought to be drug addicts by ER doctors. We were called GOMER’s (Get Out of My Emergency Room) (One doctor even hit me with the pillow I was using to block out the light, (pretty hard in fact) yup, I reported his ass.) So while I won’t sleep on top of magnets I will give up Aspartame.
Tasted funny anyway.
