Brief Answer:
Yes,it may cause gas or bloating.

Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Welcome to health care magic,

Sucralose is actually a non-caloric sweetener as it can not be broken down by body and it is used as an artificial sweetener.

Yes,Its use is associated with side effects like gastrointestinal problems (gas trouble, bloating,nausea) with in addition skin allergy, breathing problem in asthmatics,craving for sweets,cough,heart palpitations uncommonly.

Although, there is no limit to consume how much to take in tea or coffee if you do not have any side effects but it would be advisable to consume 5 to 7 tablets or sachets per day safely.

So,it would be better to take tea or coffee without sugar rather than adding sucralose if you face any side effects as mentioned above.

Hope this will help you,if you have any query then feel free to ask me.

Regards,
