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 1 June 2006, we received this note from T.W. concerning their use of sucralose.
"My wife has been trying to lose some weight. So, she purchased Blue Bunny ice cream with Splenda. Last night, I had a pretty good size bowl of the ice cream (about 5 scoops). About three hours later, I was up with intense diarrhea, gas, and abdominal cramping.

The ice cream was the only thing I had eaten in the last seven hours.  Immediately, I suspected the Splenda. After doing a Google search and finding this site, I see I'm not the only one having an adverse reaction to Splenda.

The only hint of a problem I found on the ice cream container was "excessive consumption may have a laxative effect in sensitive persons." With the pain and discomfort I experienced, you would think the warning would be a bit stronger, more prevalent on the container, and in larger print."

Thank you T.W. 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.
