Splenda make anyone Sick?

[Taji]

anyone know about Splenda? i tried it for the 1st time this morning (which is day 1 for me) in my Decaf. and now i have a terrible headache! i feel kinda queezy... this is the only thing that might be different than what i have always eaten... i also had 2 scrambled eggs and 2 sausage links, nothing different there. so i am only assuming, but has Splenda ever made anyone else sick like this?

No, but since you mentioned it...crystal light used to make me really sick, of course I was drinking copius amounts of it at the time, like 64oz a day (thought it was good for me)...and it gave me wicked indigestion. BLEK...

Do you normally drink decaf? I know I was having issues with it and I cut it out and my headches have went away, and sometimes when I a cup of cocoa with splenda the headache comes back. Maybe its the trace amounts of caffine in the decaf.
I never had a problem with splenda.

Splenda used to make me have a really bad headache whenever I used it. For some reason they went away and now I can drink a splenda soda without a problem. Maybe my body adapted to it. I still dont trust the stuff completely. I think its kind of creepy that some people get headaches from the stuff.

I've heard about people getting headaches of it before, so it could be it was from that.
Since I found out splenda isn't as natural as they want you to think, I am kinda alarmed, so I try not to use it, I am trying stevia now instead.

no headaches from it, but I honestly just don't like the taste. however too much caffien is deffinately a trigger!

YES! All artificial sweetners make me ill. If you do a search in google and type something like "splenda illness" you'll see what information is available on this topic.

Can't say I've ever had probs with it... except that it's hard to find here!

I'm so glad you posted this! I generally don't use any artificial anything but I picked up some Splenda for induction just in case I got suger cravings. I made up a jello/cheesecake type recipe. I noticed that everytime I had some I'd get a slight headache afterwards. I wondered if it could be the Spenda. Now I'm sure. No more for me!

Re: Splenda make anyone Sick?

thanks for all your opinions guys & gals...! i did some reading yesterday and found MANY websites about the BAD SIDE EFFECTS of splenda... im not going to post any because i dont know if it would be legal on ADBB... but you can surf the web on your own and see for yourself... like someone here told me and i already knew... this is an Artificial Sweetener... nothing Natural about it... in fact i found out alot of things that totally turned me off for good as far as Artificial Sweeteners are concerned... i am going to try a Low Carb Store in my town and find something Natural/not Synthetic... i think this is the only way i will be safe... i plan on following my new WOE by the book... my DANDR book that is even though today is only day 2 for me... IM HAVING A BALL...! this seems So Easy! i guess if you just follow the plan by the book... everything else just falls into place... Here Comes The New Meeeeeeeee!

You sure are right on that! This is day 12 for me by the book. I've had no problems. In fact I keep re-reading the book to make sure I don't get off track.
