This summer, I finally went to the doctor and she said that I was having anxiety attacks.  She prescribed antidepressants for me. I took them for one week, but could not handle the side effects.  Besides, I knew that I was not depressed and I did not have any anxiety in my life.

Around the same time, I became sensitive to eating. After every evening meal, I would have an upset stomach and acid indigestion. I thought it was due to my gall bladder giving me problems. I developed IBS, as well. I also experienced gas and constipation. I have pain in back around where my kidneys are, but my kidneys are not inflamed.

I had heard that Splenda causes fatigue and informed a colleague of this. I just recently discovered that Splenda may be the culprit behind my heart palpitations and the other symptoms.  When I go for a week or two without drinking any tea, my symptoms stop.

I cannot believe it took me almost a year to discover that this one product was the cause of all my symptoms. I will not be using Splenda any more. I may just go back to regular sugar."
