Splenda - the sugar substitute you need to be wary about
On 8 June 2004, we received this note from K.C. concerning their use of sucralose.
"I was happy to find Splenda since I'm trying to lose weight. I cannot eat my strawberries, etc. without sugar on it.

I'm not sure if I felt terribly sick to my stomach because I put quite a lot of Splenda on my fruits, or whether Splenda just plain does not agree with me. (I don't know if amount matters...)

I have had great pain, cramps, and constipation as well as diarrhea on a daily basis. I couldn't figure out why.  Then I stopped using Splenda. All the symptoms went away.

In a way, I'm sorry... I wish it had worked."

Thank you K.C. for sharing your story with our visitors.
