does anyone get bloated from crystal light? I've been monitoring my diet and it might be the culprit -_-

    Yes, sometimes! Not always though. I find that aspartame has hit and miss effects on me. Sometimes I feel awful, sometimes I don't notice a difference. I definitely think it's the aspartame in crystal light for me though.

    I've never noticed...but thanks for bringing it to my attention...although I don't drink Crystal light, I do drink a similar product, like Wyler's Sugar Free Lemonade, Walmart Brand and Hawaiin Punch sugar free drinks. Best wishes :flowerforyou:

    I don't drink Crystal Light. It's not made with Splenda, right? Even a half packet of Splenda gives me really bad stomach cramps and bloating. Pretty sure that was my body's way of saying "What the HECK is THIS?!?"

    I wouldn't be at all surprised if whatever is in Crystal Light does the same thing to some people.

    I absolutely love Mio, but it's not available in Canada as of yet! I picked up a bottle to bring home with me when I was in the states - I should've grabbed at least 2 more!
