  A few hours ago I ingested a large amount (not sure of the amount, but was told there was a great deal used) of Splenda. Splenda, otherwise known as sucralose, is produced by removing several hydroxyl groups from sucrose and replacing them with chlorine.
  
  Splenda is not a sweetener I normally ingest. I have a very strong case of insomnia (very rare for me) and mild itching.
  
  Has anyone else suffered insomnia and itching after using Splenda?

  One thing I've learned about artifical sweetners is that they can act as a bladder irratant. I was having really bad bladder urgency,alot coming out with full force, the total opposite of prostate issues. 2 different urologist's and all they said it was bladder urgency and gave me a script. Finally I was talking with a woman friend and it was her urologist that told her about the artifical sweetners and bladder issues. Stevevia is the best one to use.

  Splenda is several thousand times sweeter than sugar .
  
  It is structurally similar to sucrose, so its unlikely to cause a problem.
  
  Stevia, ( natural sweetener) can cause itching in a portion of the population.
  
  its far more likely the food contained some amount of STEVIA.
  
  Stevia makes me itch like crazy, its a MAST cell/histamine reaction and not a true allergy.

  Splenda is nasty, stay away from it.
  
  -My scalp often develops sores after injesting it within a day.
  -Severe bloating and diarrhea.
  -As someone else stated, polyuria a big problem.
  
  Stevia is pretty good but still causes bloat for me.

  I get eczema and itching from Nutrasweet.
  Splenda and Others not so much.
  I just use honey or sugar. I never buy diet drinks or gum.
