Splenda - the sugar substitute you need to be wary about
On 10 May 2004, we received this note from G.M. concerning his use of sucralose.
"I have spent the morning trying to research reactions to Splenda. On two recent occasions, I had ice cream that was made with it and I'm here to tell you... on both occasions I had the worst case of nausea and gas I've ever had. The first time it happened I wasn't sure it was the ice cream, but I tried it a second time yesterday.

I am now convinced that the Splenda-sweetened ice cream is the culprit. I had flu-like symptoms and gas. Not just a little gas. Both times I had explosive gas for 3-4 hours.  Now, this may sound funny, but I was like "Gas Man"--it was pass gas or explode!

I personally will not eat Splenda again, but I would like to know more about adverse reactions to Splenda."

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