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 27 April 2006, we received this note from A.H. of Massachusetts concerning their use of sucralose.

"I too tried Splenda after using sugar all my life because I tried to lose some weight. I went on a low-sugar, low-salt, low-fat diet. After about two weeks I was getting increasingly more stomach aches, diarrhea, and overall abdominal pain.

I evaluated my change in diet and the only thing different was that I was using Splenda instead of sugar. I stopped using Splenda and went back to regular sugar within three days my health problems disappeared.

I immediately told everybody I know who is using Splenda. They also had experienced some sort of stomach problem and stopped using Splenda now."

Thank you A.H. 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.
