Kiera49,, definitely Aspartame or any other sugar substitutes will give me symptoms.

Even when unknowingly digest some aspartame, I can tell 20 minutes later. It is not your imagination by any means.

That’s great news about your anxiety 😃

I don’t actually drink fizzy drinks so I can’t comment. Sorry.

Hi Carley, I don't drink fizzy drinks either, just be aware that Aspartame is hidden in a lot of Yogurt products claiming to have no sugar. That's how I found out. Actually any sugar substitute can be found in sugar free desserts as well as Chocolates. MSG is another chemical a lot of people react to as well.

Knowing what we are ingesting can help us when triggered by those chemicals.

Stay aware, stay safe. Make it a great day Carley. Keep that beautiful smile x
