Stewiedewie’s World

Straight out of the camera. No color adjustments nor slight trickery. Just plain ol’ me.

The first week is a wrap, and now life starts coming back to its senses. And so does mine. I just recently discovered that I do no agree with artificial sweeteners, such as Aspartaam, Xylitol, Acesulfame K. I get a rash within the hour and it lasts like a week or two. Not to mention the horrible itching, and the eczema is just terrible.

And I’m still to discover what products I can not have and what exactly my physical state does not agree with. And I also started realising that there’s more sweeteners than I had imagined and that a lot of stuff is loaded with sweeteners. Worst thing is: one would not recognise the products, as they are aclaimed “Healthy Products” (such as dairy products, it can be in the dressing of a salad, the zero sugar sodas and what more).

There’s a lot of reading involved too – not only on the internet, but also on the labesl of food and drinks. I think I also need to memorise the names and the E-coding of the sweeteners.
