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 1 June 2005, we received this note from L.F. concerning their use of sucralose.

"I bought a bag of sugarless jelly beans containing Splenda. About four hours after eating them, I began to have severe gas pains that, within an hour, became constant, sharp, burning mid-abdominal pain. I couldn't sit, stand, or lie down. I was sure that I had a perforated ulcer and was dying.

When I began sweating, becoming severely dizzy, and felt short of breath, I begged my husband to take me to the ER. The pain is impossible to describe. I have had three labors and they didn't hold a candle to the pain I felt.

Two days later, I was still sick.

I will never eat any sugarfree product containing Splenda again."

Thank you L.F. 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.
