Diet Dr Pepper and serious nausea!

[plornive]

I woke up this morning late as usual and drank some Diet Dr Pepper before my 45 minutes of low intensity running. Then I finished the run and had some more Diet Dr Pepper, almost finishing the 2 liter bottle. By the time I was done cooking my eggs, cutting my pineapple and cooking my oats, I felt like I was going to puke and my head felt like it had been microwaved on high power. WTF! I then drank a shitload of water, ate my stuff and it still took over 3 hours to feel somewhat better. I think I have conditioned my taste buds to dislike aspartame now.

Does anyone know why I felt so shitty from this?

Was it the 1st time you drank a soft drink with aspartame ?

IMO it is tour cardio session that made you "shity"

This is just a guess, but to me, drinking two liters of a carbonated drink before and after a run could be your problem.

Well, I am still feeling the aftermath of this morning!

Thanks for the replies. What really perplexed me was the microwaved head feeling. Belching only made my stomach feel a little bit better. Wow, diet soda is really unappetizing to me now!

No, but the first time I have drank so much at once.

If you want to know whether it is aspartame, drink a can of diet Dr Pepper a day you don't do cardio

but allergies to phenylalanin are very rare

hmm caffein on an empty stomach gives me nausea. Try slice of ginger root infused in water for 2 minutes, sip, it really works at calming nausea. Try water next time instead of diet dr pepper.....
circusgirl (or switch to diet pepsi it's WAY tastier than dr pepper )
