Splenda - the sugar substitute you need to be wary about
On 11 June 2004, we received this note from K.H.concerning their use of sucralose.
"I don't use sweeteners very often and when I use a packet of Splenda on a bowl of cereal there is no apparent problem.

However I like ice cream and have started buying ones sweetened with Splenda instead of sugar. If I eat a very small portion no problem (however, this is very unlikely).

If I eat a large bowl of the Splenda ice cream I get very pronounced gas and if I pig out and have two bowls I will have terrible gas and diarrhea. Eating the same amount of regular ice cream has no such effect.

Do you have any information as to why it causes this reaction? I know it's the Splenda but I'm simply curious as to why it kicks my gastrointestinal tract's [bottom]."



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