I continued using small amounts of Splenda for various things, and continued feeling poorly.  Then, a few mornings later, I put a lot of Splenda on my oatmeal. I don't really care for hot cereals, so I wanted to sweeten it up a lot. I became so sick--diarrhea, vomiting, pain, a terrible headaches, mood swings, suicidal thoughts, unexplained weeping, anger (I cursed at the microware and don't even know why!), dizziness, and many other unpleasant symptoms. I literally had to crawl to the toilet to throw up in the wastebasket while having diarrhea hit at the same time. I was so weak, I couldn't stand up.

Everyone who knows me thought I was going crazy. I missed several days of work and almost took my own life! That is NOT typical behavior for me at all. I started thinking--What could be making me this way? I thought back over everything that could be causing it and realized that Splenda might be playing a role. I did some research. The lists of symptoms sounded like a description of me!

I have not used Splenda again, and am very careful to read labels and avoid it. I honestly believe that if I had continued using Splenda, for even a short time more, I would have died. It is not natural and it should be illegal. At the very least, it should have a warning label about the possible reactions."
