Can Splanda Cause Low Platelet Count?

I have been eating yogurt sweetened with splenda for a very long time, i also drink splenda in my coffee, and drink diet sodas (not very often) but whenever i drink soda it's diet. I have low platelets count, i was told that it is ITP. I would like to know if splanda contributed to this thank you

Hi, dear
I have gone through your question. I can understand your concern. Your low platelet count has no relation with your splanda or diet. You are suffering from ITP. Its immune thrombocytopenic purpura. Your body produces antibodies against your own platelet and causes destruction of platelets.
So your platelets count is low. You should take immunosuppressive drugs like steroids.
Consult your doctor and take treatment accordingly. Hope I have answered your question, if you have doubt then I will be happy to answer. Thanks for using health care magic. Wish you a very good health.
