Aspartame = Diarrhea?
I'm wondering if anyone has noticed problems with diarrhea when they have aspartame. I have problems with diarrhea sometimes and it seems to coincide with when I am drinking a lot of diet soda (mostly things with aspartame, though some splenda sweetened drinks mixed in).
To satisfy myself that it's actually the aspartame causing a problem I'm going to do a little study on myself. I was off soda for the past 5 days, then had some today and noticed a problem. I'm going to refrain from drinking any soda for the next week and see if there are any more problems. Then I'm going to drink a soda made with splenda and see how things go. If things are still good, I may try one more soda made with aspartame to confirm my suspicions. Hopefully I'll figure something out.
