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 11 July 2005, we received this note from L.S. in Ohio concerning their use of sucralose.
"Hello.

Approximately three weeks ago, I began using Splenda in my iced tea and drinking a diet soda with Splenda. Shortly after this, I began to feel very ill, experience headaches, and felt very restless and nervous even though very tired.

About a week into using Splenda, I experienced a severe neck ache and back pain which lasted about a week. After this, I experienced a very sore ankle joint which I thought was gout. After a week of no relief on gout medicine, I happened to make the connection with using Splenda.

When researching the side effects, I came upon your website and promptly stopped using the product.  After two days, I am able to walk again without extreme pain and the other symptoms are also improving greatly.

I know from experience that my body is very sensitive to certain foods and chemicals which sometimes results in gout. Apparently, I had a very bad reaction to this product. Thank you for posting this information on your website."

Thank you L.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.
