Artificial Sweeteners Now Nasty?

I've used splenda and truvia for about 6 years. Now I can't stand the taste! This is extremely frustrating and limits what I can eat/drink. Anyone else have this issue post-op? And is it temporary?

    Since we don't eat crap anymore, everything, sugar/sweetness especially, is amplified. That's why artificial sweetener probably tastes like chemically and overly sweet to you. Am I right? Try stevia maybe

    No. When you change your diet your tastes always change
