Splenda may not be for everyone. I have had IB (Irritable Bowel) problems in the past, so that may explain my reaction. I ate one “candy” bar made with Splenda and was in the bathroom the rest of the night with severe stomach and intestinal cramps. Also, my daughter who doesn’t have IB problems, had one fruit flavored drink made with Splenda and had the bathroom problem too.
I also stay away from Aspartame. I tend to be sensitive to non-natural substances. I can tell when I have accidentally sipped the wrong soda because my tongue and lips will immediately go numb. Kind of like medicine head and later I will become an air-head (can’t concentrate). It definitely had a bad effect on my brain so I stay far, far away.
