- People that can't listen to other people's opinions.
People that can't say sorry.
Apparently in 2003 a consultant wrote on a letter to my then GP that I maybe allergic to aspartame...
The note wasn't put on my file or discussed with me.
Obviously as a diabetic during the past 12 years I have had times of diet cokes. Diet ginger beers, sweeteners in cakes etc.
Having just found out this info.... My question is.. If I may have an allergy to aspartame (there are no tests to prove this).. Could I also have allergy to "stevia" or are they completely different?
I can certainly relate to "aspartame" affecting me.. As apparently it gives numbess of limbs, restless leg and fibromyalgia symptoms and more that I have had investigated and problems with for 15 years.
If I am indeed to avoid aspartame.. Would it apply to all sweeteners?? Or is it just going to be a suck n see situation now?
