Splenda - the sugar substitute you need to be wary about
On 9 August 2004, we received this note from N.M. of Niceville, FL, concerning their use of sucralose.
"First of all, I love your website.

Well, I cannot believe that I was poisoning my body with this Splenda for over a year. I couldn't figure out what was wrong.

I had severe abdominal pain, gas bloating, constipation, diarrhea. I went to doctor after doctor trying to get some relief. They thought that it was my gall bladder. So, I had an ultrasound done and a CAT scan done. All negative.  So, it is like I am crazy because they can't find anything wrong with me.

I was eating the Blue Bunny ice cream with Splenda in it. I love the stuff. But it didn't love me. I thought that I was lactose intolerant. I was eating Lactaid. Nothing was working.

In talking to a friend of mine, she told me that her sister had the same problem and that it was Splenda. I just about cried because I really did like it. But the next day, I stopped using it and for the first time in over a year, I didn't have the abdominal pain, gas, bloating, etc.

I can't believe that it took this long to figure it out.  I really have enjoyed your website since and have passed along the information and the website to lots of people. And that you for making all of this public."

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