Splenda - the sugar substitute you need to be wary about
On 16 August 2004, we received this note from M.T. of Dripping Springs, TX, concerning their use of sucralose.
"After my experience last week, I decided to do a search of Splenda to read more about it.  I noted your website and your readers confirmed my own suspicions that Splenda was the source of my problem.

I ingested Splenda via Dreyers sugarfree ice cream. What followed in the last week have been medical bills for many of the symptoms described in other stories you posted. Severe cramping, diarrhea, nausea, difficulty breathing. My doctor was trying to determine if it was pancreatitis or gall bladder.

I only did the search because after starting to eat again after the last miserable week, I thought a little ice cream would be easy on my stomach. WRONG!

I did the research on the Splenda as it was the only product consistent with my misery. I am sharing this information with my doctor as this allergic reaction seems to be more prevalent than I expected.

Thanks for being such a good information resource."

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