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 19 July 2005, we received this note from J.A.P. concerning their use of sucralose.

"Thank you for sharing this story.

I thought I was losing my mind! I switched to Splenda for a low-carb diet (of course) and, lo and behold!, I'm now trying to get off the Splenda.

The headaches have caused me a trip to my doctor without any known cause being found. I also started experiencing some major low back pain. I thought I had a kidney infection. The headaches continued to be so bad that I searched my house for leftover pain medication stronger than Advil.

I guess my body cannot tolerate Splenda. It's the only thing I can link to such severe headaches. I hope you will continue to share your stories."

Thank you J.A.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.
