A few times when I told people I had reacted to Splenda they told me it was all in my head LOL.
Yes I have my big boys also avoiding the stuff. My little ones don't do artificial sweeteners except for sugar free gum with Xylitol.

Atomic- I have had splenda foods/drinks as well (without reading the label like you) and felt the same way. My husband is also the same..I definitely don't think it's in your head. I had a splenda popsicle over the summer and even up having a mental breakdown afterwards. It is scary IMO the people who still consume it without connecting the two...

With DS I drank regular everything - soda (coke) and all other drinks were full sugar.
On my girl sway i'm doing coke zero instead and sometimes i have a CL every day too. Splenda in my pep tea.

Dr. Mercola scared me aware from the stuff, LOL. I was getting headaches every time I consumed it, and tried to look up the connection. I quit it altogether about 8 years ago, long before I was even TTC.
Anecdotally...the very large majority of my friends have a PP. Really, it's kinda weird. But if I have a look at my few friends that have one gender only, well you might be right atomic...one friend with 4 boys who literally LIVES off of diet coke and diet sprite. Another friend with 3 boys who is naturally fit, hardly tries at all, no exercise, but drinks a LOT of diet coke. You might be on to something

This is an interesting thread! I was debating whether or not to include aspartame in my sway but I don't think I will now since I have an autoimmune disease (celiac).
Before DS1 I drank full sugar soda and drank CL with Truvia. I developed a corn allergy after having DS1 so I never drank soda before conceiving DS2. I do know a mom who got a girl after two boys and she was drinking Diet Coke regularly but I don't think it was in excessive amounts.

I don't remember if I had a lot of diet coke with DD. I probably didn't as I was apoor student at the time and water was cheaper. But I def did not have it with my boys. Def boy lifestyle with them though and girl lifestyle with DD. I started drinking diet coke at the beginning of my sway (about 2 weeks ago) to get from meal to meal, but am now thinking I should either cut back or stop completely. I've always been drinking a lot of water, with all three of my pregnancies. Should I rather stick to water now? Especially since I have an auto immune disease?

I think that in dietary amounts 1-3 servings a day it is fine for anyone except people who really feel like it affects them. I would not have more than that amount though.

I am so very sorry to have to post this message, but this situation obviously just cannot continue. Please stop buying things on Gender Dreaming for the time being. Until the technical issues are...
For now, please stop buying things...
