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 T.C.S. concerning their use of sucralose.

"Several months ago, I started having constant diarrhea. I tried everything. I eliminated this and that from my diet to no avail. I was beginning to think I had something really wrong with me. Finally, last week, I went to my doctor. He told me to try the elimination diet again, and cautioned me to especially avoid aspartame and sucralose, because they are both known to cause diarrhea.

That got me to thinking. About the same time my problems started, my friend and I were shopping and she threw a box of Splenda into my cart telling me it was much safer than the Sweet-n-Low I had always used. HA! Well, I switched and that's when the hell began.

I quit the Splenda last week and, so far, have had much improvement. Even my mood is be3tter. I had been getting really depressed, although that could have been my problems making me that way. I can't be sure yet that the Splenda was definitely the cause, but time will tell."

Thank you T.C.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.
