Sucralose ?

[73angel]

Is Sucralose an artificial sweetener? Is it safe while ttc or when pregnant?

[srbeusk]

It is an artificial sweetener. And there is a lot of back and forth about whether or not it's safe at all. If I remember right, though, it's considered the only "safe" artificial sweetener to use when pregnant.   BTW... sucralose=Splenda. :)

I agree.  In my opinion it's safe...but you have to decide for yourself because some people are on the other side.

Quoting srbeusk:

I used it when I was pregnant, but don't anymore. I just stick w/ plain ol sugar. LOL. When I was pregnant, I was having issues w/ my hypoglycemia, so I was staying away from real sugar as much as possible. But now that I don't have any issues, I've gone back to it. LOL

If you are having problems or dificulty getting pregnant, it is very wise to get all if not most of the artificial crap out of your diet.  Also, you never really know what kind of effects these artificial things can have on you.

Well my thing is that I get gd when pregnant and the first time I was still able to handle reg sugar, the 2nd time (before we lost the baby due to something else) I was having a hard time with sugar and I have been drinking the flavored water it has Sucralose in it and I was wondering if that would be safe to continue if I ever can get pregnant again.

It is considered safe by many Doctors and researchers. :)
