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 March 2006, we received this note from L.M. concerning their use of sucralose.

"I had started using Splenda in my tea and coffee a few weeks ago. Within a few days, I started experiencing really weird symptoms. I started feeling nauseated and bloated all the time. I felt spaced-out, and I felt so weak and depressed--like I was on some heavy course of drugs. I couldn't concentrate on anything because I was always sleepy and overwhelmed. I started getting very depressed.

Now, thanks to your website, I know that all of the above symptoms were caused by the Splenda. I have thrown it away. I'll never use it again. I can't believe I was making myself sick!"

Thank you L.M. 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.
