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 26 April 2005, we received this note from D. concerning their use of sucralose.

"Every time I eat something that has Splenda in it, my stomach stays upset for the next couple of days. I found out when I attempted a low-carb diet. I bought icea cream and yogurt with Splenda in it. That night, I had a stomach ache, massive gas, and diarrhea. So I've tried to stay away from it.

Well, we had a family supper last night and my mom made a lemon mousse pie with Splenda in it just for me for my birthday. So, I ate it anyway because I didn't want to hurt her feelings. Last night, I had the worst bout of diarrhea and gas and have been pretty much housebound today because about every 30-45 minutes, I have to run to the bathroom.

I am never eating anything that contains Splenda again!"

Thank you D. 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.
