stomach pain and queasiness with diet soda Posted: 08-16-04 08:21am
I've noticed that while regular soda
(which I rarely drink - once a month if
even that) doesn't seem to affect me, diet
soda seems to make me a little queasy.
After drinking a little bit of diet soda
(diet pepsi seems to be the worst), i'll
feel very full, like i've either eaten a
big meal or just drank a whole lot of
water. But at the same time it will make
me feel a semi-painful "hunger" sensation.
Is it normal to get such stomach pain when
drinking diet soda? Or is it just me?
I drink diet soda a lot despite the pain,
at least one serving a day.

No it is not normal to feel pain when
drinking soda!
Diet sodas are made with an artificial
sweeter called aspartame which you may
have an intolerance to.
When you think about all the chemicals
they put into these things, no wonder
you're not feeling 100% just try
pronoucing some of those words, like
"phenylalanine"!
I would definately avoid these drinks,
along with any other food or drinks that
make you feel sick.

I think logic has to be used here, why
continue to drink it?!?!!?It isn't
neccassary! And infact all soda drinks
are terrible for your health, try drinking
water or fresh juice instead!

Totally agree.
Diet soda (or any soda) just blows up and
bloats you out, drink something you enjoy
instead.
Water is fantastic - it can be chilled on
its own, flavoured with squash or cordial
or just with a dash of lemon or lime
juice.
Drinking 8-10 (250ml glasses) glasses per
day will help detox your body and leave
you feeling good.
