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 16 May 2005, we received this note from D.P. concerning their use of sucralose.

"I've used NutraSweet (aspartame) for years with no side effects. Now it seems that everything is switching to Splenda which means I have to give it up. More than one serving of anything with Splenda in it gives me severe diarrhea and flatulence.

Does anyone know why the switch is occuring? The only reason I can think of is that aspartame is heat-sensitive and Splenda is not. So why does that matter with carbonated drinks?!

Thanks for letting me vent. Grrrrrrrrrrrrrr."

Thank you D.P. 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.
