I couldn't drink regular sodas as the sugar got me but didn't think diet was too bad. I was IBS-D at the time but didn't have too many flare ups (as I practically ate no fiber) The caffeine helped with my headaches and if I tried to stop headaches got worse. Then I hear all the stuff about how bad aspertame is caffeine for IBS so I decide to quit a few weeks ago. Per Heather's suggestion instead of cutting cold turkey, I switched to green tea for a week then stopped altogether and had no withdrawal symptoms and no headaches. Also lost the frequent heart palpatations I'd been having for quite some time being off the aspertame but still on the caffeine in the tea. So after adjusting to the no caffeine I become IBS-C!! So now increasing my citrucil this week which seems to help.

I'd be more worried about the other things in Coke...
