Artificial sweeteners as triggers, anyone else?

I've identified my chronic triggers as cheese and wheat, but I have subacute reactions to a few things. The worst is soy protein, but recently I've noticed I seem to be allergic to the sweetener acesulfame K which is in a lot of zero-sugar drinks. I get really nasty esophageal spasms within half hour of consuming these drinks and acesulfame K is the only ingredient common to them all. I've tried half a dozen different brands as I am trying to get off full-fat coke and same reaction to all of them. But allergies to it seem to be rarely reported in the literature? Does anyone else have this?
