Are Sucralose and Acesulfame-Potassium antagonistic to UC? Many of the protein supplements that the doctor presrcibes for my Dad has these artificial sweeteners.

I'd never take sucralose or aspartame...actually, I avoid them like the plague.

I can't say if they are antogonists for UC, but I would say with experience they will cause lots of gas and discomfort. They will quicken the activity of the digestive tract FOR SURE...that's why they suggest the use of them for people who have had digestive surgery.

All artificial sweetners give me diarrhea. And the real rub is that the ingredients aren't always on the labels. Be sure to keep your dad away from OTC cough and cold syrups as well as the pill Mucinex. Those items have fake sugar in them.

One other thing...sucrose is regular table sugar; many confuse it with sucralose which is artificial
