bloating?

Have you tried either Gas-x or Phazyme?

i'm on xifaxan and compazine but i am sure it is my inability to stay away from splenda. guh why do i do things that i know are going to anger my colitis?!

And we tend to become addicted and desire what we should not/cannot have. Artificial sweeteners are more addicting than sugar.

Splenda is pure crap....your pancreas releases insulin because it's been beckoned to do so based on the intake of the "pretend sugar"..but there's no sugar to use.


If you're scared of sugar....be more scared of the future problems from insulin surges that your body isn't using.

Eventually, advertisements will read.. "This is your brain on sugar....this is your brain on Splenda". Huffing and puffing trying to find its fix of sugar/energy.

Reconsider..try honey, even sugar in the raw or do some research about stevia or agave.

Oh..but you don't have diabetes.  You don't get it by consuming sugar.  Does diabetes 2 run in your family?

At least you can control sugar intake....

Sweet...now, it sayd "0 calories"....I'd NEVER consider it. 

Ask yourself why you are "wooed and seduced" by the advertising.  They're making poison based on needs fed by fears.  Be afraid...be very afraid. 

The generations are getting fatter and less people are consuming sugar...go figure.

Eat actual food....and if processed sugar isn't your thing..then do the research and consume a better product than "those".

I'm 52, I don't know how old you are...so, my perspective is a bit different than yours. 

I'm just ticked that all the gum has artificial sweeteners in them...I've bought the last of the sugar gum from Walmart...that's got me worried.  eeks!

There are ways to get natural sugars into the body through fruits, etc...but the body uses it the same as sugar. Definitely go that route, even using fructose sweetener way before seeking the 0 calories promise.

People tend to consume MORE of a perceived good thing....and artificial sweeteners are a huge seduction that promise big...BIG..lol!!

We can control the sugar aspect...refined, that is....but most NEVER control the 0 calorie stuff.

pb4...have you seen the recent infestation of advertising ...it's "beautiful" to drink crystal lite in water...8 times a day. pullleezze.

s a diabetic, I do use splenda as well as stevia in some foods and natural fructose and honey.  I have a tendency to not use as much sugars in my foods, and generally make my own breads and such to eliminate the processed sugars in processed foods.  For me, as a diabteic, I do need the splenda, and have had no obvious problem with it - however when I do use sugars - my blood sugar sky rockets.

It is a life balance that I think I seek.
