Am I the only one with a Splenda allergy

I've been looking for a low cal, high protien suppliment (other than those crappy powders) and everything that I find has Splenda in it.

Am I the only weirdo that is allergic to Splenda? I break out into a bad rash and turn red...its not pretty...I'm like a giant tomato.

If anyone has suggestions on what other hi protein low or no cal options please let me know....

thanks.

Try this Stevia Protein Powder or NSI Natural Whey Protein Complex with Xylitol, Stevia & Aminogen Vanilla -- 5 lbs - Vitacost or Optimum Nutrition Natural 100% Whey Gold Standard Vanilla -- 5.11 lbs - Vitacost (I've actually used this last one in Chocolate, it's not too bad).

I can't tolerate Splenda, it gives me bad indigestion, among other things. I really like stevia, it's a natural sweetener. I will buy Kool-aid packets and use 2 teaspoons of stevia instead of 2 cups of sugar, you could also add plain, unsweetened protein powder to this.

I have a bad time with splenda too, and I use stevia as my sweetner too. If I can't get the stevia I just use regular sugar in it's space. The calories are that bad considering the bad reactions I get from the splenda.
