Has anyone tried to eat more than 15 in a sitting?
“What came out of me felt like someone tried to funnel Niagara Falls through a coffee straw. I swear my sphincters were screaming. It felt like my delicate starfish was a gaping maw projectile vomiting a torrential flood of toxic waste. 100% liquid. Flammable liquid. NAPALM.”
“OMG. Everything previously written is true. It’s all true. Don’t eat more than 15 in a sitting unless you are trying to power wash your intestines.”
“After a few hours, I had an EXTREME build-up of gas with no relief. All I could do was lie on my bed and pray for a fart. That might sound funny, but when you’ve eaten something that has basically turned you into the blueberry girl from Willy Wonka, you’re pleading for relief.”

Please note: anything "sugar free" that contains SORBITOL can create GI problems. I also had an awful episode about ten years ago but immediately identified the source.
"Sugarless" candy is an oxymoron any way.
true all. And watch out for protein bars, meal replacement bars and shakes. If they're high in fiber (designed to keep you full) your intestines will work overtime to digest it producing farts and poops beyond your wildest dreams.
One way to combat this is to take a bean-o before you eat any of these products.
Liza, I wonder if we have the same Facebook friend who happened to post this on his page yesterday.
Maybe Liza IS your Facebook friend...
I had another friend post about how bad her gas was after eating Fiber One bars.
She said it was one of the biggest farts of her life.
I like Fiber One bars. They never make me fart.
Your poop chute is special
That is what I've heard.
"Maybe Liza IS your Facebook friend..."
Wouldn't that be something!!

LOL That would indeed, Dottie. But I saw this tweeted. Not posted on Facebook.
I was curious so did a little research. Apparently, the only "benefit" behind the ingredient that makes this all work is that it's resistant to cavities. No thanks. I'll pass (pun intended). From an article about the sweetener in the EXPLOSIVE gummy bears:
Rather than being made with sugar, the gummy bears are made with Lycasin, a hydrogenated glucose and sugar replacement. Lycasin is a maltitol syrup with properties of taste and sweetness ideal for the preparation of sugar-free syrups, lozenges or jellies, according to manufacturer Roquette.com.
Little known to most gummy bear connoisseurs, however, the side effects of Lycasin are gas, bloating and diarrhea. In some cases the sugar-free gummy bears act as a strong laxative and leave many consumers quite uncomfortable, rushing to long trips in the bathroom.
Fiber one turns your poop chute into a poop shoot!
I read some of the reviews last night and a lot of those people get an "A" for creative writing. I would never be so intrigued to find out what would happen to me if I ate those with so many people saying, "don't do it!"
Ah, my adventures some years back with sugarless candy. I thought I had found a mother lode. Instead I found...well, a mother lode.
Does anyone remember the Wow chips that were brought onto the market a few years back? The FDA forced them to have a warning label on them because the chips contained Olestra, a chemical that caused various GI related issues. Similar to the sugar free gummie bears.
