Splenda incidence?

[archkre]

Dear friends : Can you tell me if sweeteners (specially Splenda) have low, medium or High incidence on Pt-Inr results?
Thanks a lot!

I don't know about the INR but Splenda can cause major gas and diarrhea in those sensetive to it or Olean.

Splenda- no problem

Splenda- no problem

I have been on it for several years because my dr. said I should get off
aspartame because it is rough on the kidneys. INR and dosage has remained the same.

Since Splenda cannot be metabolized due to it's chemical makeup, I see no reason why it should interfere with one's INR.

I've not heard or experienced this with Splenda, but I know it's true of Sorbitol.

I have used Splenda for several years -- even asking for it when it's not on the table in restaurants -- and have not noticed any change in my INR or digestive system.

I just meant incidence in the results of PT-INR!
Thanks

Please pardon my confusion. What do you mean when you say "incidence in the results of PT-INR?" Further, what do you mean by " low, medium or High incidence? We use splenda and have not noticed any changes in INR...or p/t.
Many thanks,
Blanche

Splenda is the only artificial sweetener I use and my INR has been quite stable.

I concur! It causes me great digestive/intestinal problems!

There is no reason to expect that Splenda would have any effect on the INR.
