if your using artificial sweeteners must read!!

Long story short I've been to the ER on six separate occasions for unexplained terrible abdominal pains, diarrhea, and vomiting. Severe pain to say the least! Never finding what the problem was
. Since my last ER visit about a month ago I've had severe nausea and diarrhea.
Well my girlfriend and I were trying to figure out what my diet was to see if I had food allergies. Tons of crystal light, splenda, and other chemicals were going in my body daily.
So I quit artificial sweeteners cold turkey except protein powder. Just water and green tea. Also am taking raw apple cider vinegar and raw honey.

Now the good news!! Its been 6 days now and no nausea, and my once distended stomach is flat! I've had insane amount of energy and feel great and its only been a week.
I didn't realize or didn't want to believe it was the artificial sweeteners. But I think the proof is in the pudding!!

It should be noted that I'm 40, 5 ft 8" 200lbs. 8% bf, on 500mg test a week and 3 iu growth daily. I've seen myself actually believe it or not , grow the last week! I think my intestines are absorbing more nutrients I have an appointment this Tues to see a specialist that now I think I'm gonna cancel.

Personally, I'd go to get testeded. I've heard artificial sweetners can be bad for the kidneys, but not the digestive tract. Maybe some of the food items you have eliminated had other products you are reacting to along with the sweetners. It cant hurt to get it checked.

sucralose gives me bad digestive issues. i don't use any artificial sweeteners at all.

Same here. Sucks cause I love my Mio and Splenda when I diet but I pay for it when I use it.

Start knocking down plenty of fermented foods to replenish the gut flora that that poison has most likely depleted. Give it a couple weeks then see how awesome you feel.

Personally I can't stand the taste of any of that stuff, it's literally like drinking toxic chemicals.

Damn, water gets so fucking boring. I am a longtime user of diet coke and if I don't have one in the evening I feel almost like a withdrawal symptom. I quit coffee a while ago and recently switched my green tea to diet decaf. I try to have only a small glass of diet coke in the evenings.

Indeed artificial sweeteners should not be consumed period. Given what they are made out of and what they do …. should not be fucking ingested.

Im not gonna go on on about the importance of eating Organic, non GMO and blah blah blah. . . Just google search artificial sweetener and cancer. Plenty of science behind it. Glad your feeling better!

I used to down a gallon or more a day of crystal light plus like a gallon of diet mountain dew.... love that shit. I stopped and drink nothing but water for almost 2 years now and I'm at the point now where I love drinking my poland spring. Can't get enough of it. You can teach your body and taste buds to like it

I posted this to see if anyone else is having any gastrointestinal issues and also to help others to drop the chemicals

Stevia and Xylitol are good natural sweetners

 

[Saizen]

Amazon has a 15lb bag of xylitol for $65 with free shipping

Suggestion! I started taking a generic prebiotic that is close to Align. My stomach, digestion, and stool is better. It was rough the first couple of days I took it!

I been taking them for 34 years, never had any problems.

Truvia is good

 

[myosaurus]

I used to live on diet sodas and stopped for 3 yrs now, best thing i've done.

I live on True Lemon and use mostly stevia... But I'm not paranoid about sweeteners. I'll have a few diet cokes when I'm out and never think twice. While they may not be GOOD for you, they aren't terrible. Try obsessively living on anything, and you'll have issues arise somehow.

I just bought a giant flavor infuser pitcher. Big 200oz one... I put lemons and limes in the infuser and squeeze a few. Tastes awesome and helps me drink more water.

The infuser is just a plastic tube with holes that is submersed the allows the fruit to give off taste in the water. You can prob make your own...

 

[anab0lic]

hmmm, i have used sucralose for years and never had any problems.... aspartame though, for whatever reason seems to me feel not quite right mentally after consuming it...no idea what causes that.

Truvia is good

Recently tried Trivia for the first time, and i must say it's delicious.
