Splenda - the sugar substitute you need to be wary about
On 6 March 2004, we received this note from S.E. of Melbourne, FL, concerning her use of sucralose.
"Oh, my gosh!

I am so thankful I discovered this site. I have had the most miserable time the last few weeks. I have had three bouts of vomiting. I can't seem to throw the nausea and I've had dizziness, shortness of breath, and felt tired so often. I wasn't sure what was happening to me and I was getting very concerned!!

Thank you, God, I discovered this site.  I am a diabetic on an insulin pump. I've kept checking my blood sugar thinking that was it. Or maybe it was the change in my diet recently. It seems that the one low-carb candy bar does not affect me, but the low-carb ice cream bars do. NO MORE FOR ME!!"

On 8 March 2004, we received another note from S.E.:

"Thanks! Do you have any information on mannitol? I use a low-carb candy bar that has that added to it and appeared to do okay. Then, I found other ones that had Splenda... also the ice cream. Is there any stuff floating around about mannitol and its side effects, if any?

Thanks so much!"

Thank you S.E.. for sharing your story with our visitors.
