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 September 2005, we received this note from D.L. concerning their use of sucralose.
"Last night, I made a peach cobbler that called for 1-1/2 cups of sugar. I decided to replace the sugar with Splenda. My husband gets migraines and takes medication for them when he gets one.

He had a large piece of peach cobbler last night.  Through the night, around 3:00 a.m., he experienced the worst migraine headache he ever had in his life, and he is 70-years old.

I had made BBQ spareribs for dinner and used a bottled sauce. I checked the ingredients for MSG (which always gives my husband a migraine). There was nothing in the sauce to prompt a migraine.

Wondering what else he may have eaten that would do this, I thought about everything else he ate. This was the first time my husband had ever had Splenda (the peach cobbler). I use a packet in my oatmeal every day and do not experience any side effects, but he certainly did.  He will never use it 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.
