Feeling sick...caused by body used to eating healthy?

msstatz

I have been eating very healthily and trying to eat basically no preservatives, refined sugars, etc. Today, I drank a carbonated water (Great Value brand) with aspartame and immediately afterwards I got a headache and started to feel sick to my stomach. Could my body be conditioned to not be used to the aspartame and that is why I am feeling yucky? I used to drink this water all of the time before embarking on a very healthy lifestyle. Any input?

I've been very lax about what i've eaten over the last couple of weeks after a year of being careful about my food choices and trying to stick to unprocessed wholefoods as much as possible. At the beginning of this week I had stomach pains and headaches. The last couple of days I've been back on the healthy stuff and I feel loads better....I would not be surprised if they are conected but it's impossible to know for sure....

Thanks for your reply. I appreciate it. I have been eating healthy for about 3 months now and I haven't had a headache or felt sick to my stomach at all. So I'm thinking the two might be connected. Either way I think I'll stay away from the carbonated water anyway as it is not healthy for me.

Wait, Walmart sells carbonated water with aspartame added? That is pure evil. Why would you buy this? Just get some San Pellegrino and add stevia to it.
