I have a reaction of palpatations to Aspartime and also the same problem occurs with Phenylephedrine and Caffeine and therefore I'm careful to avoid products containing them. Does this mean I should be avoiding all foods containing phenylalanine aswell, although I'm not aware of any problems arising from them, apart from possibly migraines, which I get a lot now. I eat a fairly healthy diet, not much junk food, but loads of sweets and chocolate. I am very slim (not skinny) and rarely/can't put on weight easily. I also have had a slow moving stomach all my life and up until recently was taking anti-spasmodics, which I am now trying to manage without. I also had B12 injectons for many years, but regular blood tests have shown that I no longer need them. Also my daughter has been shown to have low B12 and my son is ADHD. I would be very interested to hear of people who have the same reaction to Aspartime and would also love to know of the typical foods that have naturally occuring Phenylalanine, so that I may possibly eliminate them from my diet to see if there are any significant changes, especially perhaps with my stomach. Also my father (deceased now)had a serious liver problem-could this be connected? And also I was considered gifted academically as a child, but I have a problem with co-ordination with certain things because my brain races ahead too much!
