On 19 April 2004, we received this note from M.C. of Godfrey, IL, concerning her use of sucralose.

"I have been suffering from severe gas pains and bloating for several months. My doctor was pretty much ready to remove my gall bladder, even though the tests showed there were no stones. He just couldn't figure out what else could have caused such extreme symptoms.
I discovered Splenda last fall while on the Atkins Diet. Recently, I started eating the new Russell Stover candies that advertise "no sugar carbs." It plainly shows Splenda on the ingredients, and also malitol.
It took months for me to make the connection, but the gas and bloating will dissipate when I am not dieting and not eating these sugar-free foods. I just don't know if it's the Splenda or the malitol in the product that's causing such an extreme reaction. It only takes one small piece, not even the three that is a "serving size." I very nearly had surgery!"
Thank you M.C. for sharing your story with our visitors.
