I use Splenda and have no issues
I don’t drink hydration drinks other than Gatorade zero sugar but never add to it
the Splenda goes in my oatmeal or cereal
I have never had any issues with any artificial sweeteners. Sometimes candies with sorbitol can cause diarrhea, but that is a known issue with sugar alcohols.
It is just a matter of quantity. It does not cause damage.

I use stevia in my coffee everyday! I have no issues with it.
As Jan said, sugar alcohols are a known problem. The issue with stevia is that the majority of the time, stevia is combined with a sugar alcohol - often either xylitol or manitol, etc. So be very careful in looking at the ingredients. I steer clear of stevia for that reason. If you can find pure stevia it should be ok, I think.
