Splenda - the sugar substitute you need to be wary about
On 4 December 2004, we received this note from J.N. of Indianapolis, IN, concerning their use of sucralose.
"For the longest time, I could not figure out what was causing the gas and bloating I was experiencing. I have always had a Diet Coke in the mornings and never had a problem. But, when I started drinking Diet Rite Cola (Splenda additive), the severe gas, pain, and diarrhea started.

I quite drinking the Diet Rite and, after about a week, I was fine.

I then went to the Russell Stover candy store and purchased some carb-free candy, which contains Splenda.  BAM! It hit me like a lead balloon.

I will never eat anything with Splenda again. My doctor thought I had IBS or something similar, but I figured it out for myself--NO MORE SPLENDA FOR ME."

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