It may be other additives are bothering you....do an anaysis of EVERYTHING you eat...who knows, you may end up being well again -- I am!!
Aspartame will put me in bed for 3 days - literally! Anything marked "Diet" or 'artificially sweetened' is off limits, as is Pepsi - it's loaded with it. Coke in *very* small amounts is OK.
KFC is also off limits because of the MSG. The 'secret' herbs and spices mixture is 49% MSG - 1% below the Australian legal limit. Red Rooster is OK
Preservatives also play hell with my fibro. I must be the best label reader in the local supermarket.
