Splenda - the sugar substitute you need to be wary about
On 15 September 2004, we received this note from G.C. of Huntington, WV, concerning their use of sucralose.
"I used Splenda containing drinks for approximately ten days.  About a week into this change in diet, I began having small waves of epigastric discomfort, which I wrote off to gastritis. A few days later, the gnawing pain became so severe that I had to make a trip to the ER and get a battery of labs and an upper GI. Everything was negative.

Then I did a search on "splenda and abdominal pain" and got about 300 hits. Splenda was the only thing I had been doing differently. Upon discontinuing the Splenda, my pain resolved.

Coincidence? I think not."

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