I used the capsules towards the end of my first pregnancy.

Suse - I've avoided artificial sweeteners during pregnancy. I read it can interfere with the baby's temperature or something like that. The sugar free metamucil does have aspartame and that's the worst of the artificial sweeteners, but like you said, the capsules don't have that in them.

I actually avoid artificial sweeteners anyway, and won't let DH have them either hehe. They're bad for you in general.. let alone when preggers
