"I recently started drinking Coke2 and, looking for more calories to cut, I found colas sweetened with Splenda at Walgreens Pharmacy. I had no information on it, but I had seen the hype: it was made from sugar cane.
I began drinking one of these colas per day (20 oz each) in September 2004. By the 20th of November, my birthday, I was noticing small stomach problems. By the 22nd of November, I was always bloated and had bad gas pains.
I altered my diet somewhat and the constipation started. I would go for three days without a bowel movement. I had to use laxatives.
I went to the doctor and he gave me a prescription for Protomix to stop acid. I had to keep taking laxatives and it was driving me crazy, not to mention being sick daily.
I became too ill to get my sodas for a week and BOOM! That night, after being off Splenda for two days, my constipation stopped. Now I'm fine.
I wouldn't give that chlorinated compound (they lied!) to anyone. It needs to be studied further. I will stick to stevia and turbonado sugar. They are using stevia in sodas now in some places.
Good health to you all. It's hard to find in this toxic world!!!"
