On 7 July 2006, we received this note from M. concerning their use of sucralose.
"Two nights ago, I bought some Blue Bunny ice cream bars and had two on the way home from the store with my husband. A couple of hours later, I was trying to plant some shrubs and was suddenly doubled-over in EXTREME pain. It felt like gas pains, but much more intense than I have ever experienced begore. It was all I could do just to get myself down from the slope I was planting on.

After an hour or so, things were back to normal.  My family had eaten all of the ice cream bars, so when I went to the store again today, I bought two more boxes. Shortly after eating several of them (again on the way home on an empty stomach), I had serious diarrhea. A few hours later, I was doubled-over again. It finally clicked that Splenda could be the cause, so I did a search for "splenda cramping" and found your site.

I am very grateful to have figured this out fairly quickly due to the information that has been provided here. I will take my unopened box back to the store, trash my large box of Splenda packets (we haven't used them much, so either they didn't cause any problems, or I didn't recognize the connection). I'll never buy another thing that contains Splenda or sucralose.

Thank you!"

Thank you M. 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.
