Splenda - the sugar substitute you need to be wary about
On 7 February 2004, we received this note from J.K., concerning his use of sucralose.
"I am diabetic and my wife's friend made a cheesecake with Splenda in it. A few hours after eating a small piece of the cheesecake, I woke up gassy and had diarrhea. I thought I might vomit. I have a heightened aversion to vomiting and, over my lifetime, I have learned to control it. This small amount of Splenda seems to have brought me very close to throwing up, as well as some of the worst stomach upset I have had in months.

I guess I have to say to be careful when using it to see if you will react poorly to it. I take numerous medications that have strong side effects on most people, and I have no problems with them. Splenda was like a kick in the stomach!"

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