Does Splenda Cause Hair Loss,rashes ,joints Pain And Blood In The Semen ?

I used Splenda for three months, starting last April. By July my hair started falling out in clumps. I also got a bad rash. I hear that sucralose is connected to hair loss, unexplained rashes, itchy-dry-scalp, stiffening of the limbs and joints (which I also experienced) and possibly to blood in one's urine or semen. I'm a woman. My husband used sucralose, although not as extensively as I used it, and he got blood in his semen. When I threw out all the food products containing Splenda, the blood in his semen stopped.

Hello,
Use of splenda is definitely associated with various side effects on body like allergic reactions on skin,headaches,migraines,seizures,various gastrointestinal symptoms like bloating,nausea,diarrheas etc,joint aches and pains,palpitations etc.
One should avoid using products containing Splenda as its use is known to reduce the good bacteria in the gut and increasing the pH of intrstine.
Thanks
