Can Splenda cause bloatness? - Diet & Nutrition Message Board

I have felt bloated for what feels like an eternity and I was just thinking that maybe something in my diet is causing this. The only thing I could think of that I was having everyday is splenda. I drink it with my coffee, I drink Lipton Diet Lemon tea with the splenda in it, and also diet pepsi which has the other sweetner. The diet pop I only drink when I go out on weekends.

Does anyone else notice bloat from artificial sweetners.?

I recently started to drink hot green tea instead of coffee with nothing in it to see what happens. Its kind of blah but I guess I will get used to it. I am going to stop drinking the diet pepsi when I go out and drink water with lemon instead. And I will drop the Lipton diet tea as well.

My little experiment....I hope this works.

I only have to have a tiny amount of an artificial sweetener and I get horrific stomach cramps. My Gastro Doc says a lot of people have an intolerance to it. I would give it a miss if I were you.
