You can say that again (the bit in brackets in the last sentence). If I
drink Diet Cola it makes me sick, as in regurgitating what I ate recently.
So I stay well away from diet drinks... but I have a few other allergies too
(hayfever, asthma, eczema and certain plastics cause irration to my skin
after contact for 5-10 minutes). I suppose I should count myself lucky that
I'm not allergic to sunlight.
