Splenda - the sugar substitute you need to be wary about
On 10 October 2004, we received this note from R.B.T. concerning their use of sucralose.
"I have been using Splenda for a couple of years. I quit using aspartame years ago. I don't know if all these symptoms I've had for the last six months are caused by sucralose but after reading all these messages I am going to stop immediately. I have been going to my doctor on and off for months complaining about fatigue. I feel like I'm walking thru knee deep mud. I have hypothyroid and have been slightly low on iron. So the doc put me on iron a couple of months ago and thryoid is fine. Still feel exactly the same. Some day's I literally don't know if I can get out of bed.

After doing a google search today on Splenda, I will no longer use it. I will see if that is what is wrong. My doc has no answers (he's not too thorough). Frankly, I think it's unfortunate that we have to do our own research to try to figure out what is wrong with ourselves. Wish me luck.

I'm about at the end of my rope. I'm keeping my fingers crossed that this is what my problems (fatigue, aching, etc.) have been caused by.
"

Thank you R.B.T. for sharing your story with our visitors.
