I'm actually a type-1 diabetic myself and enjoy an occasional sugar-free treat ever now and then. :). As far as I know, it's probably the phenylalanine that might be causing your bellyaches. Majority of the sugar-free products out there have something called phenylalanine which, when consumed in a generous quantity, can serve as a laxative.
My suggestion is to cut down on the amount of sugar free treats you eat and substitute them with healthier, more natural things (ie. fresh fruit, etc.)
Hope this helps :) ]
