Splenda/Sucrulose - Making me very ILL!?

[jenn325 0]

My doctor recommended that the first weeks post-op that I have only sugar-free Jello, pudding, liquids, etc. SO I went out and bought evrything sugar-free, much to my 4 year old daughters delight! I was banded on the 24th and came home without a problem. However, five days out and I was experiencing intense intestinal pains and gas, and then I had diahrea started... Well guess who else has been walking around farting and complaining about stomach pains. Yep - my daughter. So I called my mom (she knows everything - don't all moms?) and she told me she can't eat anything with Splenda in it either.

Now what? What are some diet options? I'm not supposed to eat solids for two more weeks. (I did have some crackers, though...)

Wow, I'm sorry to hear ya'll are having problems with Splenda ... I use it almost everyday and haven't had a problem. What are you using now for a sweetener?
