I am back on Phoslo and I am notrecognizing any problems.I was taken off when it was thought to be the source of my constant diarrhea.I was told to take Tums instead. Dr Oz indicated that sugar substitutes my cause the problem and I stopped using Splenda and I had no more problems I am very pleased because my Phosphorus levels are always normal!
