Question:
Will Splenda cause dumping?
I am wondering will Splenda will cause dumping since it is made from sugar? I notice that products withe Splenda are marketed as "no sugar added" not as "sugar free". — pacodani (posted on January 17, 2006)

I have not had any problems with Splenda. I recommend you try just a little
and see how it goes down. Hope this helps...:)

Hi Paula,
I have not had a problem with Spelnda and I use it in EVERYTHING! Baking,
COoking, drinks, teas etc. Plus all of the Sugar free products I use or eat
is made with splenda... I can't stand aspartame or sweet-n-low. Good Luck

It depends on you. I do great with it, but I have a few friends that can't
have it.

I, too, can eat splenda with no problem. I have used it for baking mostly
a cake and banana bread. I don't dump on anything.

I have a tendency to dump easily and have never dumped on splenda. But
since everyone is different just try a little to see. Good luck...

I love Splenda better than any other sweetner. HOWEVER, artificial
sweetners fool my body into thinking it IS sweet. Then I'm hooked to sugar
again. But everyone is different of course.

Hi Paula,
I have used Splenda from post-op day one and I have never had an episode of
dumping. I am currently 5 months out and have never dumped and I eat a
variety of items.

Hi Paula. I also use Splenda daily and have had no problems at all.
I do have to say that tonight my daughter had a pepsi (not diet) sitting
next to my glass, and I picked it up and took a drink of it. I was
surprised that I didn't dump or even feel sick as I took a pretty good
swallow.

I dump on too much sugar and usually don't on Splenda but I do have trouble
with too much sugar alcohols. They have a natural laxative effect and I
think in some GBS people that can be exaggerated.

Yes, not only do I dump on splenda, it gives me painful cramps and loose
stools. Equal and Sweet and Low are the only things I can do.

Hello Paula,
My partner has been using Splenda for about 2 years -- no dumping. But
like someone else suggested -- use a little first to test your system
