The first time I tried it was in a low-cal chocolate bar. About three hours after eating it, I had bloating, gas, and eventually diarrhea. It never dawned on me that the sucralose was the culprit.

Since then, I have tried all different kinds of low-cal foods--licorice, yogurt, soda, diet bars, colas--and have had the same side effects from it.

I was hoping that it wasn't the Splenda that was causing it, but after so many different attempts, I have narrowed it down to sucralose. It's unfortunate, because I think I am in the minority and eventually all low-calorie items will be sweetened with it.

Looks like I'll have to stick to sugar."
