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 24 May 2005, we received this note from S.S. of Dayton, TN, concerning their use of sucralose.

"I did an internet search on "sucralose upset stomach" to see if there was anything on there. I had been eating Jolly Time Healthy Pop Caramel Apple popcorn and LOVED the taste. However, I began having serious stomachaches, lots of gas and grumbling, some diarrhea, indigestion, and a feeling like I had an ulcer. In fact, I even had a CT scan and everything was negative.

One day, I got to thinking that I began to feel bad every time I ate the popcorn and I looked on the ingredients. The only ingredient I was unsure of was sucralose. So that's when I decided to do a search. I am totally convinced the sucralose caused my stomach discomfort."

Thank you S.S. 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.
