I cannot consume any artificial sweeteners (aspartame/saccharine/sucralose/etc.). I even have to limit my toothpastes because of the sodium saccharine. Even after surgery I have to be careful because it can cause auras.

Aspartame can cause siezures to get worse which is in all diet drinks .I found this on the internet.pepsi max made mine worse since I have stopped drinking it they are not as bad .I just absent one occasionally.
