I am trying to cut down on sugar, so I use artificial sweeteners Hermesetas) I am getting stomach cramps coinciding with when I started them, the pains are griping and don’t last long but they are quite painful but only last a few seconds at a time,
Any thoughts on this, had anyone else experienced this ,

Lilypops I was the same, I always had pain and cramp. Then one year I went on a walking holiday and forgot to take my sweeteners so I went for weeks with none and no sugar in my drinks. In all that time I never had any pain, just pain in m legs from the walking! So give it a go.
