Im curious if anyone notices that ingesting too much Splenda gives you
gas or other similar problems?

Is it in my head.... or can Splenda do this?

I usually only have the "toots" when I eat a splenda product that also
has sugar alcohols in it, but I have learned that if I eat it with
something else it is not as bad, so If I have desert its always right
after a meal.

Don't forget that Sweetzfree is a blackmarket item. The purity and quality
control is completely in the hands of the people who are mixing it up and
selling it.

I'm sure I'll get flamed but I think people forget that this product isn't
manufactured and distributed by anyone legally licensed to sell it and
there's no guarantee that you're getting what you think you are.

OK

Is it bad for you? To be avoided on a low carb diet?
