I use Splenda in my hot coffee, tea, etc. I use Sweet and Low in my iced tea, if that is not available I use Splenda. My friend said she had bloating from Splenda, o she quit using it. I cannot get anything sweet with equal, I used several packets in hot tea and for a short time I could not process my thoughts. I put honey on toast and in sauces. I cannot stand any diet sodas, so if I do drink a soda, it has sugar in it.
