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 4 July 2005, we received this note from D.L. of Virginia Beach, VA, concerning their use of sucralose.

"In 2004, I had diarrhea for months. None of the medications my doctors prescribed helped whatsoever. The condition continued and I usually felt very weak. After reading about adverse side effects from ingesting Splenda, I decided to stop using it.

I used an artificial sweetener because I am a diabetic.

Within two days, the diarrhea stopped and has not returned. I did test my reaction to Splenda again on two separate occasions. Both times, the diarrhea started up again. I shall not knowingly eat Splenda again."

Thank you D.L. 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.
