This is a starch and is very difficult to digest. Splenda, aka sucralose, is a sucrose-like molecule. Basically, they have added Chlorine atoms to sucrose to make it indigestible by humans. However, since it is not digestible by us, it does not get absorbed and passes down the GI tract. It is digestible by bacteria.

Hey Megan: I can say I did the Slim Fast thing in the past and although it may or may not work for you it will be short term and the ingredients are not all that great. I prefer to learn a healthy way ...
