Tank 112 Posted July 27, 2012 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? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DLCoggin 1,788 Posted July 27, 2012 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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
worm2872 635 Posted July 27, 2012 My good friend uses Splenda all the time and is fine. We all have different bodies but this seems to be a consistant. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

kiwiladydee 402 Posted July 27, 2012 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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

jenneliza 257 Posted July 27, 2012 I dumped off truvia so I guess it's possible. My surgeon said it is possible but not likely. Just gotta try it! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Wps2 57 Posted July 27, 2012 I dumped on a sugar free Popsicle. I think it was dumping. I had a fast heart beat, sweating and nausea. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

DOS: 7/18/12 HW: 273 DOS: 260 CW: 241 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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
