<<Disclaimer: Verify this information before applying it to your situation.>> I am on the Aspartame/bad side of the fence, as it has long triggered grand mal seizures in me ... I can get away with one can of diet soda twice a week ... anything beyond that and I shake, rattle and roll ... Now that I've discovered that my seizures are, in fact, due to gluten ... I'll admit that I got a little sloppy on my Nutrasweet intake and subsequently seized ... which made me ponderize: is aspartame itself GF? If so many other things are cut with wheat, dusted with wheat, why not aspartame? If anyone has any thoughts on wangling GF status of aspartame outta monsanto, I'm all ears. Must be something in the lunar cycle -- seems like everyone I know has lists squabbling amongst themselves. Tracey in Connecticut GF lodging: http://www.innseekers.com/feature.htm
