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 2 May 2005, we received this note from W.O. of Murietta, GA, concerning their use of sucralose.

"I started using Splenda in my coffee at work. The daily dose was the equivalent of 1 teaspoon of sugar, 4 times per day. I used the bulk-packaged Splenda, which is formulated to have the same measure-for-measure sweetness as sugar, as the individual serving packets provided a little too much sweetening. I gradually began having acid indigestion every time I ate.

About a week ago, I went back to using sugar in my coffee, and the symptoms have now subsided almost completely."

Thank you W.O. 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.
