Is to much splenda bad for you? I was reading the back of my food items and most have splenda added. Plus I drink a lot of tea during the day to get my daily amount of fluids in and I put splenda in there as well. Has anybody heard of consuming to much splenda?

I have never heard of Splenda giving you gas. The Sugar Alcohols like sorbitol, manitol, etc. can give you terrible gas. A lot of things that say they have Splenda in them on the front of the package actually have a lot of sugar alcohols. These are not low calorie, but do not digest like sugar and do not cause a spike in blood sugar, so they are used by diabetics. Most of the sugar free candies have this in them, even though they say "Made with Splenda".

They sell splenda with fiber? That is so cool, I love things that are 2 in 1 :thumbdown: Well except shampoo/conditioner in one, that leave's my hair kind of feeling well...gross

I see a neurologist, and he has said that in general, artificial sweeteners are not good for you. So I do try to do real stuff in moderation, however, now that I have the band, there are no guarantees what I will do, right? I will still try to stick with the neurologists suggestions.

My grandmother used to say, if one thing doesn't get you, another thing will!

Sugar. Sugarsugarsugarsugar. I can't stand artificial sweeteners and really try to stay away from sweets in general. I drink my tea unsweetened and water mostly. Coffee gets sugar, though :frown:

Too much splenda gives me headaches, equal gives me joint pain. But, I don't have any issues with Sweet N Low.
