Funny you mention sweetners as apossible CH trigger. I had some experience myself: when I drink orange juice in the evening (with artificial sweetners) I can be sure of a CH the very same night or morning. Question is whether it is the sweetner or the juice that is causing the CH. Because when I drink eg cola + sweetners, there is no reaction. For a long time I have thought sweetners caused the problem, but now I believe it is just any kind of citrus juice. I stopped drinking them and my CH have decreased in all respects. But this is only true when I am in the middle of a CH period. If I am CH free, I can drink juice without any negative reaction.
