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 S.B. concerning their use of sucralose.

"I bought pop that was 25% sucralose. Over the next two to four days, I felt nauseated, exhausted, experienced muscle weakness, and became increasingly depressed. I thought I'd caught the flube in mid-June, but didn't understand the depression. I was slightly short of breath, but I figured that a smog alert and hot, humid weather caused that.

Then I made up some Kool-Aid using only sucralose to sweeten it. After drinking a large glass of it, I was so nauseated that I almost threw up. I immediately stopped using sucralose, used a laxative, and drank a lot of fluid to flush the sucralose out of my system.

Within a day and a half, I felt like my old self. All of the above side effects were completely gone.

I'm glad I found your website since it made sense about how I felt when using sucralose."

Thank you S.B. 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.
