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.
