Guest guest Posted July 28, 2004 Report Share Posted July 28, 2004 I was reading some posts from a few months back and ran across one on aspartame that has me worried. At the beginning of my pregnancy, I had a terrible cold with a cough. I took some cough drops, sugar free ones, w/aspartame, not knowing this stuff was bad. I was wondering if aspartame was harmful to a fetus if only a little was consumed. I do not drink diet drinks or consume any other diet products. I probably had 25 cough drops in all. Any reassurance out there? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NO question is a stupid question ...but I have a stupid answer ..I don't know ! lol ..my LLMD says to stay away from all sugars and sugar substitutes but supposedly Aspartame is the worst of all evils ! This has been so hard for me as I CRAVE sugar even more so since the lyme. I take coffee WITH my sugar and International delight french vanilla ! I could drink it WITHOUT the coffee if I had too ! I also used to drink cherry pepsi ....ALL the time but I have cut that out. I have a terrible problem with water. It just does not go down. I have tried every flavor , every brand ....my LLMD even gave me lemon drops to put in it ...I just hate it , chokes me ..I do drink some , but not nearly as much as I should ...especially with my doxy....says to drink LOTS with it ! ICK ! I do eat LOTS of watermelon ...expensive and hard to find her in NJ in November ....but it DOES have sugar in it. Just can't win. People need fruit in their diet ..but it all has sugar. I can't think of many things that don't have some sort of sugar in them ! You have a good day and someone will answer that question I am sure !
