Pages: 1 Sucralose       #83047 - 06/25/04 06:53 AM Edit Reply Quote JillSklar Reged: 06/03/03 Posts: 461 Loc: Michigan Heather, I know that some sugar substitutes are not agreeable to the GI tract, sorbitol being a biggie. But I was wondering if you have any information on sucralose, brand name Splenda. My husband, of whose GI system I am entirely jealous, has started on the Atkins on the advise of his physician, believe it or not. And the Splenda is just sitting in our pantry. I was wondering if it would kill me to try it.

I haven't heard anything good about it, and have seen reports that it can cause all sorts of GI side effects. What I really don't like is that it's an engineered reverse molecule of sugar - I do not trust foods that don't occur in nature and have to be made in a lab. I haven't actually tried it myself. - H -------------------- Heather is the Administrator of the IBS Message Boards.
