Purely anecdotal: what I remember from the time the Doc was trying to determine what was making me sick while eating was the list of items totally off my diet. Besides the obvious, no dairy, no carbonated, no caffeine, and limit on other items like fats and salts, was no artificial sweeteners. I didn't question it at the time as I was desperately in need of getting the situation fixed. Turned out the Ciphro I had taken; as last resort type medicine; had killed all the good bacteria and such in my intestinal tract letting something else move in. Another series of drugs later and that was cleared up but he still left me with a list of items to curtail for the next six months until all tests came clean and one was artificial sweeteners.
