Do you have a blood sugar monitor, you are describing symptoms of
hypoglycemia. ``sick, heart palps, dizzy, aggressive, emotional''
Supposedly, ating artificial sweeteners makes body produce insulin,
but since there is no sugar to tuck away, blood sugar drops. Coffee
also has a blood sugar lowering effect. I suggest ditching splenda for
you to see if it helps.

I follow an excellent duet for gastric illness. We use diluted regular
coffee not decaf. here is what it says about Splends:
Splenda (sucralose) has been extensively discussed and it is not
allowed for several reasons.

"First, most splenda is packed in a filler called maltodextrin. This is
a starch and is very difficult to digest. So it is not allowed on the
diet.

Splenda, aka sucralose, is a sucrose-like molecule. Basically, they
have added Chlorine atoms to sucrose to make it indigestible by humans.
However, since it is not digestible by us, it does not get absorbed and
passes down the GI tract. It is digestible by bacteria. So in essence,
if you consume sucralose, you are sending down an energy source to the
bacteria you are trying to starve. So sucralose is not allowed.

The sickness is in your mind !!!!

I think you should have more faith in you understanding of your own
body.  If you don't think splenda is working for you then don't take it.

Splenda has been great for me.  No problems whatsoever.  I've taken to
carrying a few packets in my purse in case I'm having coffee away from
home.  But YMMV.

Well, V, ALL foods will make you sick and fat in excess.  Keep at it -
you've got every meal for the rest of your life to figure out how to
feed your body.  You'll get it eventually, considering how much practice
you get to do!

You sure like to take the most dramatic approach you can think of
to any issue.

Classic low blood sugar symptoms linked with the release of
adrenaline in response to the low blood sugar.  Caffeine makes
any existing hypoglycemic symptoms worse.

Right, the caffeine almost certainly.

That's quite an assumption in the face of symptoms that are
classic for low blood sugar.

Who cares about what it's supposed to do.  Everyone is
different.

Dubious since you jump to conclusions far too fast.

What's a lot?  Some folks take 3 packets per day as their
maximum.  Are you using more than that?

Drop splenda and caffeine *separately*.  Drop one this week
and wait two weeks.  Then add that one back and drop the
other.

Because your symptoms sound like hypoglycemia, look closely at
your carb intake.  Actually how spread out it is across the
day more than the amount of carbs.
