Splenda - the sugar substitute you need to be wary about
On 26 March 2004, we received this note from D. concerning her use of sucralose.
"I have been on a low-carb diet for about two and a half months and have lost 26 pounds. I started eating Breyer's ice cream about two weeks ago (the one that contains Splenda). I started experiencing severe stomach cramps, bloating, constipation, and a burning sensation in my upper stomach.

I was finally able to trace these symptoms to the fact that I had introduced Splenda into my diet. After researching this on the Internet, I have found many people reacting to Splenda the same way.

Today will be the first day that I will be excluding Splenda from my diet.

Don't forget that those low-carb chocolate candies from Russell Stover also contain Splenda! They upset my stomach, too."

Thank you D. for sharing your story with our visitors.
