I have a son with Tourette Syndrome and Crohn's Disease and we learned early on that artificial sweeteners are one of the worst things for neurological stuff, and can also mess with one's gut.
I have contact with a wide range of parents with kids who have neurology probs, and almost all agree that aspartame especially (ie Nutrasweet) but also Splenda (aka sucralose) really seem to have an adverse effect.
My son uses honey or maple syrup as sweetener, but stevia is also a natural alternative to sugar, and now comes in granular form, not just liquid.
