Dumping From Splenda?



Recommended Posts

I've searched the topics and couldn't find an answer so I'm throwing it out there to my surgery family.

Has anyone ever experienced dumping syndrome from Splenda? If so, what artificial sweeteners work?

I use Splenda exclusively and I have never had dumping from it. And I've never read of anyone having dumping from it. I guess that it makes a statement that my surgeons office has a Keurig coffee maker in the lobby and the only sweetener they have is Splenda.

My good friend uses Splenda all the time and is fine. We all have different bodies but this seems to be a consistant.

I use Splenda, but I try to use half of what I did before the surgery. No dumping from it. If you do, you can try trivia. Splenda is coming out with a new form of sugar that is suppose to be much better for you.

I dumped off truvia so I guess it's possible. My surgeon said it is possible but not likely. Just gotta try it!

I dumped on a sugar free Popsicle. I think it was dumping. I had a fast heart beat, sweating and nausea.

Yes, I must have brown sugar in my oatmeal so I set out to find a faux brown sugar. It's right by the regular Splenda.

Be careful with the brown sugar Splenda - unlike the granulated Splenda, the brown is a blend of real sugar and sucrose. Could result in dumping. Test it before you eat too much.

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
