I am hypogylcemic. I started using Asparatame/Nutrasweet back in 1984. I kept getting dizzy spells, certain lights made me sick to my stomach. If I ate anything with sugar in it I passed out. I ate every 15 minutes, I didn't feel hungry but HAD to eat, it would take the dizzy feeling away. I used that diet stuff until 1989. I thought I was going to go mad.
The doctor did several tests and couldn't find out what the problem was. I did the GGT test also. Couldn't find anything.
A friend said she thought my problem might be the Asparatame. I stopped using it and within 3 days all the above symptoms were gone. I still am hypoglycemic. The Dr. thought that Asparatame did some damage to my pancreas.
I eat several small meals a day. If I don't, then look out world! I am the meanest woman alive. LOL.
I am still hoping that I will find something that will help me with hypoglycemia. I hate eating. It is a chore to eat that many times a day.
Also, the Dr. said it is possible that using Asparatame had affected my brain chemicals and caused deeper depression.
I don't know about that. I do know that I was killing myself with Asparatame and now I'm hypoglycemic and I wasn't before 1984.
