Splenda - the sugar substitute you need to be wary about
On 14 March 2004, we received this note from A.M. concerning her use of sucralose.
"Hi. I've used Splenda off and on for a few years and didn't really notice any problems.  But, then, I also have fibromyalgia and experience a lot of pain with that anyway.

This past week, I experimented with some dessert recipes that use Splenda.  I am now in my fourth day of extreme headaches. These are unlike any that I've had before, with an almost unbearable pulsing pain in my right temple.

This morning I finally realized that it might be the Splenda. I found your website and see that other people have experienced similar problems.

I am unable to take anything with sorbitol in it as it causes major gastric problems. I guess don't think that there's anything out there to use to control the sugar except all of these chemicals. Back to the drawing board..."

Thank you A.M. for sharing your story with our visitors.
