Do you have a bad reaction to sucralose? or "Splenda"?!


Question: I get diarea and my kids actually vomitted once after drinking a large bottle each of some water-like drink that contains Sucralose. Starts with a P, now I can't think of it. Anyway, my husband's stomach hurts too after he has eaten/drank something with Splenda.

Hi Christine

Here are a few stories with negative results as well.

1/27/2008: Maureen (napsac2@yahoo.com) from Maine, USA writes: "re: Seizure control. I realized that aspsrtame brought on seizures years ago...on my own. The doctor didn't see it. Why is it not of public knowledge? Why do they not put this on the yogurts or drinks? Why does aspartame exist? It doesn't even taste good! And our body doesn't even know what to do with that sugar!! Another sugar to avoid is sucralose. I have noticed that works against me too, often bringing on a seizure. It would be nice if a GOOD sugar, such as stevia, were of normal regime in american foods and drinks. It's ok to dream! Another good thing to include in the diet to avoid those seizures is coconut oil or coconut milk! The list of benefits is priceless!"

We say many doctors and no answers. One day he just thought it might be the Splenda and stopped using it. He has been without at headache for 6 months. For myself, I too was using the splenda and started getting cramps in my joints and muscles, swelling in hands and feet. My doctor thought it was Parvovirus, maybe Rheumotoid Arthritis, or Lupus. Even before going to get the blood tests I just stopped using the Splenda and in one day all symptoms were gone. I suffered with this for 3 months. Doctors really need to know about this issue. I even called the FDA but they said it needed to be bigger of an issue before they could put any warning on the box. That is really sad."


Best of health to you

splenda and other artificial sugar drinks are all generally horrible for you. you are better off putting in real sugar than poisoning yourself with that stuff. so even if it may not be the cause of your family's symptoms, you should keep well away from it. the medical report below tells about it.

any artificial sweetener ending in the letters 'ose' will give people gas or loose stools. It says this on the packages containing these products. Splenda does not seem to have the same effect on some people.

Look for anything that ends in -ose, like maltose, dextrose, etc.they will all upset your gastrointestinal tract. Try stevia.

splenda does that to alot of people..says on some warnnings..
