Why does this happen when I drink diet coke?

Question

I would like to stop drinking regular sodas but whenever I try diet drinks (mostly diet coke) I notice that with each gulp it feels like my throat wants to close up. What's the deal with that?

Answer 1

I don't think it is an allergic reaction because you would have other things happening then just the feeling that your throat wants to close when you drink it......my suggestion would be to try other diet soft drinks to see if you have the same reaction....you might want to try one that you mix in a half liter bottle of water because it is not carbonated and see if you have the same reaction. let us know what happens.....

Answer 2

My grandmother did this for two decades directly with out a in deficient wellness-outcome. Medical experts instructed her she need to stop. She did, and (I baby you no longer) died two months later. Factor of it is, your body will get used to the intake. The jap don't fluctuate their healthy eating plan after age 70 and in general are residing to be one hundred twenty. The quantity of man-made sweeteners you're ingesting is not a concern besides you get into the 6-eight liter intake as your frame will purge it. Pepsi alterations their artificial sweetener each and every few years besides. Regardless of nay-sayers, it is top-first-rate.

Here's what I found:
Aspartame, the low-calorie sugar substitute marketed as NutraSweet and Equal, can cause skin hives and SWELLING OF THE THROAT TISSUE, according to a medical researcher at Washington University in St. Louis. Anthony Kulczycki, an allergist and immunologist, says he has positively identified the aspartame allergy in six patients and is studying another 44 potential victims.

If you have time to read this. You could have an allergy to the attificial sweetener, or your body may not be used to it. Maybe try Pepsi. I know you are like "what the heck? they are the same!" But they aren't. I will only drink diet, but when I started, it did this too. Pepsi have less carbonate causing less reaction for your body. You may want to ask your doctor for the actual problem if this continues. Some people just "can't" drink diet pops. Some people don't want to and have them selves thinking, "why am I doing this?" So, there are many causes for this, but the most likely is, you aren't used to it, you have an allergy to it.

I love that "you shouldn't eat mentos w/ it!" lol


-good luck, and I hope this helped!

Coke still uses drugs in their stuff man. I'll be addicted to soda 'till the day I die. Don't ruin the taste by drinking diet. That's like going from pure cocaine to smokin crack.

You don't like it....try Diet Dr. Pepper or Mountain dew
