Halo Top Reaction!?

Halo Top is rad and all, but I was wondering if anyone else experienced extreme mouth and throat burning from eating it? It's not even worth the burning that lingers for an hour anymore. I am extremely disappointed in my body and was wondering if anyone else experienced it. I am guessing it's the artificial sugar. :(

    Many, many people have. It's a reaction to the higher amount of artificial sweeteners. The throat feeling may be heartburn that you are not recognizing.

    Halo Top and Quest bars are disgusting.
    I had a bad reaction to both. Upset stomach for two days and my eyes swelled up. And there's the taste.....gross.....

    I noticed a funny feeling in my
    Mouth. I wouldn't say pain though. The added fiber makes my stomach upset. Artificial sugars can give you headaches and stomachaches sometimes. Sounds like your alergic to something in it.

    That sounds like a mild allergy. I'd stay away. Anyone can develop an allergy to any food.

    Halo Top always leaved me with that bloated heavy feeling like I have a brick in my tummy for two days. Good flavor but not worth it.

    I tried the oatmeal cookie flavor yesterday and it was good but a little too sweet for me. I mean I'll eat it again of course... I also have the vanilla bean to try. My sister is in love with lemon cake. So are our chihuahuas. I wish they had vanilla with chocolate chips. I hate mint chip from every brand. As for reactions, I've not had any but I'm used to sweeteners. Real sugar gives me headaches. Weird right?
