yeah, I avoid aspartame like the plague!
There are many reasons to go, cancer screening is a big one these days, recommended every five years. I forget why I went now, GERD maybe? (I have a hiatal hernia, nothing to do with aspartame.) Other stuff that can take people to a GI doctor: Krohn's, celiac, IBS, ulcers, diverticulitis, bleeding, oh joy, so much fun!
I went through the colonoscopy endoscopy screening recommended for my age, and they do a super job, now if someone could make that nasty Colace stuff palatable it would help, but they do give you some lemon flavoring that helps a little.
