Splenda - the sugar substitute you need to be wary about
On 1 December 2004, we received this note from T.R. of Florida concerning their use of sucralose.
"On the road to try and lose weight and reduce my sugar intake, I was craving some chocolate (PMS) and decided to buy some sugar-free turtles. They were very good, but 30 minutes after eating them, my stomach began to hurt and I had severe gas.

My daughter had eaten two and she started having the same problem. The next day, she complained that her stomach was hurting. After a few unpleasant nights sleep, my bedroom needed fumigating and I felt not-so-good myself.

By the next evening, I was fine and thought, well, I'll try another turtle to see if this was indeed what made me ill. After eating just one of them, I had the same symptoms within 30 minutes.

I decided to look up the ingredients on the ingredients on the package and found this website with stories of the same thing that happened to me. I was considering purchasing Splenda, but after reading up on it, I will not be doing so.

Please continue letting people know that some people can have adverse reactions to this product.

Thank you for letting me share my story."

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