Another Splenda Story submitted by a visitor

Splenda Chat

Coming soon... a Splenda chatroom where you discuss the benefits and drawbacks of sucralose consumption with other Splenda users.

On 12 June 2005, we received this note from C.C. concerning their use of sucralose.

"I am a diabetic and use artificial sweeteners on a regular basis. During the past few months, I have had severe digestive problems with extreme bouts of diarrhea. The cause of this problem was very elusive until I finally started noticing a pattern.

At the time that Diet Coke produced a product with Splenda, I was very pleased with the taste. I started using the product exclusively as my diet drink of choice never realizing that my body was rebelling against a chemical already being questioned by others.

My suggestion is to do your own research...

As for me, I will avoid Splenda like the plague."

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

If you have experienced any side effects, whether you are sure it is Splenda or not, be sure to speak with your physician and discuss all possibilities.
