COULD THESE SYMPTOMS BE DUE TO ASPARTAME WITHDRAWAL?

01/27/2012: Rita from Quincy, Illinois, United States writes: "I quit drinking Diet Coke three weeks ago, after drinking it ever since it came on the market many years ago. I wish I could say I feel great, but since I quit aspartame I have had problems. The first week was OK, other than the craving for the Diet Coke. The second week I had problems with my digestive system, gas and bloating. Also, I noticed a worsening of rosacea. This week I have started to develop an itchy exzema-like rash on one arm and my chest. Now, I seem to be developing a cold. Is it possible that these symptoms are related to aspartame withdrawal? It's so discouraging!"
