Splenda - the sugar substitute you need to be wary about
On 15 June 2004, we received this note from B.N. of Phoenix, AZ, concerning their use of sucralose.
"I have now confirmed that Splenda is causing my massive stomach cramps and gas.

Although it is not totally scientific, I have removed it and added it to my diet several times and am convinced that it is the cause of the "burning sensation" in my abdomen and my diarrhea. The latest proof was drinking "Hood" brand, low carb chocolate milk. After 2 glasses, I got severe stomach cramps and diarrhea. I stopped taking it for two days and the symptoms went away but when I began drinking it again, they returned. I've also experienced these same symptoms with low carb ice cream and 2 different kinds of Pro source whey protein, both of which have no other sweeteners or sugar alchohols besides Splenda."



Thank you B.N. for sharing your story with our visitors.
