I had intense cramping and diarrhea for 4 hours straight!  I never want to go through that again!

I can't say for sure that it was the stevia - could've been some bad spaghetti...but I have never had such bad diarrhea in my life.  I actually passed out afterward it was so severe.  It took all my strength just to stay on the toilet.  It was horrible!

I have had horrible diarrhea, cramps, bloating and general abdominal pain when using stevia. I have stopped using it and after the symptoms disappeared tried it again with the same results. It is definitely the stevia. I did not realize that the pain and sickness was related to the stevia until it had happened several times.

I've had horrid diarrhea when using anything with Splenda in it.  We're doing the Metabolism B plan and the only real 'sweets' that we can grab on the run is something like the sugar-free popcycles or dreamcycles.  Well, I can have one after dinner and wake up at 3 AM with screaming diarrhea.  So now switching to stevia and making my own light desserts to see how it goes.
