Quitting pepsi max- unexpected side effect!

[picklemewalnuts]

Has anyone else noticed an increase in constipation after giving up pepsi max? I was drinking a lot- almost 2L a day. I cut right down, maybe two cams a week. I was on a quitting pepsi support group, but can't find it!

I've never had this problem before, my diet is good, I'm on slimming world. I eat loads of fruit and veg. Drink plenty of water. Gallons.

Something has changed, and Pepsi is all I can think of! Anyone else?

You’re not alone. Many find out as you have that when they stop they get constipated.

It’s the artificial sweeteners they put in these drinks. They loosen the bowels.

It’s good you’ve cut back though, these things aren’t good for you.

That's good to know! It really didn't occur to me until this evening.

It's left me with a different problem though! Serious one I'm walking regularly, eating well, but can't seem to sort it out.

It's going to have to be prunes then, I guess.
