it's not been around since IBD has.
I'm definitely for all artificial sweeteners being banned, but that would create a problem for diabetics.
Most everyone (who doesn't know better) chews gums and drinks products with artificial sweeteners since the 0 calorie phase....I would suspect more bowel activity/IBS symptoms, but not IBD.
Now, those who are predisposed or who have had an invader...who knows.
I think the creation of them has also added to obesity...
