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 20 June 2005, we received this note from C.P. concerning their use of sucralose.

"I may be a little slow, but I've been trying to figure out what has been causing me incredibly painful gas, cramping, and bloating. The only major change to my diet was that I was trying to reduce my sugar intake. And then, it hit me! Sugar-free candy!

What confused the issue was the fact that the candy containing Splenda caused no negative side effects. The rest, with maltitol, sorbitol, etc., did. I hadn't thought to look and see what different sweeteners were used in each product.

So all of the sugar-free desserts that contain the other sugar substitutes are in the trash. I have cooked and baked with Splenda with excellent results and no side effects."

Thank you C.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.
