As a chronic migraine sufferer, one of my biggest challenges in dieting is my head and managing my pain. I’m also not trying to trigger a migraine with certain kinds of food or additives.
I’m super sensitive to artificial sweeteners. Especially Aspartame and Acesulfame Potassium, the two most frequently used artificial sweeteners in American “diet” foods.
I know to look for it. This morning I grabbed my Jenny Craig®️ Dream Shake without thinking and took a sip. I think the fact that it was too tasty made me pause and check the ingredients. Sure enough it had Acesulfame Potassium in it. I stopped drinking it immediately.
I will now have to check all the “sweet” foods, and I’m going to ask for a list of the products that have Aspartame and/or Acesulfame Potassium in them. If it’s significant, I may have to stop Jenny Craig and switch to a program I already know doesn’t predominantly use them. I’m not a fan of that other program, but I’m less likely to develop a migraine.
Oh joy. Hopefully it’s just the shakes.
