On 20 June 2006, we received this note from B. concerning their use of sucralose.
"I was searching for a website about sucralose and found your site.

I have problems with this sucralose that are among your list. I have experienced bloating, abdominal pain (real bad), redness on my face, swollen itchy bumps on my face, and diarrhea. I have also had a symptom that is not on your list: clumsiness. It's like my feet don't go where they are supposed to go. I trip and stumble.

I know these problems are caused by the sucralose because I tested myself. The days I drank flavored water with sucralose, I had the symptoms. A couple of days without sucralose and the symptoms disappeared. I tried the drinks a week later, and the symptoms reoccurred.

I'm really disappointed because I hate the taste of regular water, but it seems everything now has sucralose in it.  When Fruit 2-0 first came out, I experienced the above symptoms. I called the company to ask if Splenda could be causing it or if they had any complaints of side effects.  I was told there had been no adverse effects at all. BULL!

It's like I now haven't any choie except to be very careful of what I eat and drink. I read every word on labels. What ever happened to just plain sugar?! Doesn't anyone care what this stuff is doing to people?!

Thank you for your website."

Thank you B. 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.
