On 22 June 2006, we received this note from H.E. concerning their use of sucralose.

"I have suffered from ulcerative colitis for more than ten years and have been in remission for the last two years or so. I have been a religious Splenda customer for the past year or more. I use it in my coffee, tea, KoolAid, everything!

I recently suffered a major flare-up of my colitis and with extra symptoms, as well. I was so dazed and confused a lot of the time. I didn't even feel like myself. I had been hearing reports that sucralose was linked to side effects and began researching it. I stopped using Splenda a few days ago and I can already see a major improvement. I honestly believe it was causing my GI distress, or at least aggravating what was already a problem. Making the switch back to sugar has been difficult, but I feel like a cloud has been lifted!

Thanks."

Thank you H.E. 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.
