Diet Sprite

[LKelly8]

I can't explain it. I know Coca Cola says all their sodas are gluten free which should mean no risk of x-contamination either (unless somebody drops their ham sandwich on the way to lunch ) but I keep getting sick - burning, bloating - everytime I try to drink diet Sprite. My mother won't drink it at all. She's certain it's cc.

My question is has anyone else noticed something funny going on with Sprite?

Am I allergic to Lemon-Lime?

I've never hjeard of anybody having a gluten problem with sprite. However I also get burning or bloating with it some. I don't care for it.

As a recently diagnosed diabetic I had switched to diet sodas and noticed problems with them. For me it turned out to be the artificial sweetners. I now drink water or half a can of regular soda and a lot of ice with a low carb meal if I feel I really, really have to have a soft drink.

It may be the aspartame. I sometimes get bloating and headaches when I ingest it.

I hate artificial sweeteners...they have tons of side effects and in my opinion are way worse than the regular sugar

i also always felt crappy after i drank diet sprite and it wasnt until i read a post on here about artiificial sweetners and i totally pinned it to those, beacuse the feeling was always after i drank my coffee ( with splenda) and whenever i had my diet sprite.

but if i took a sip of my husbands regualr coke i was fine.

so i really think its the artificial sweetners.

I agree. I started drinking diet drinks again after many years of avoidance. I have to start avoiding it again. I will not give my kids artificial sweeteners at all.

Thanks everybody!

I've always had headaches with Splenda but not Equal strangely enough. Maybe I'll buy some nice bottled water and some fruit juice, lay off the fizzy stuff for awhile. See what happens when I reintroduce Equal.
