Can I drink diet soda on a Candida diet?

I’m trying to address some questions in this article because you’re still having issues like this. How long does it take you to recover after having something that was not good for you? Also, can a diet soda cause you problems?

The answer is definitely yes, it has a lot of artificial colors, flavors, sweeteners, etc. It’s really bad for anyone. A friend always feels burning in the urine, and sometimes it can go to the intestine area. It also causes a reduced urine flow in her.

Speaking of which, someone read a scary report about the artificial sweetener in soft drinks (aspartame). It can cause serious neurological problems and should be avoided at all costs. It can be like a poison to the human body and especially to the mind. So he drinks carbonated water when he misses the soda. It’s not perfect but it’s cold so it’s good and has good bubbles.

Carbonated water is best, but because it is carbonated, it is not pH neutral. I think it is very acidic, which is what we should avoid. Also, the sugars in diet drinks create carbohydrate cravings.

Since reading all the “stuff” about Candida, aspartame is mentioned numerous times. Anything that contains Nutra-sweet is aspartame. If you do a search for aspartame, you’ll find lists of the effects this can have on the human body (including neurological damage). Many of the side effects listed are compared to side effects I have had that I have ruled out as Candida.

There is someone who always wondered why when they chewed ‘sugar free’ gum they got a headache 10 minutes after they started chewing it. She did her research on aspartame and candida and discovered that aspartame is found in ‘sugar free’ gum. She now only drinks filtered water (and takes her antifungals). He doesn’t chew gum and he doesn’t have headaches.

I just hope one day I won’t have to take the pills and feel good at the same time. My advice is to check the ingredients of anything you intend to eat and not eat or drink anything with aspartame in it. It will make you feel better anyway!
