    I knew about the "effects" of sugar-free candy. More importantly, how did they TASTE? Lol

    They taste great, that's why I ate the entire bag LOL

    Never again...

    You know, it's not just sugar free stuff. One day I ended up popping like half a pound of grapes and it had the same effect.
    A two pound bag of apples had me going.....

    To further expand on this major life lesson:

    Make sure and have some lotion added TP handy, because the Scott 50 grit just aint cutting it today ;)

    Having to go is one thing but the reaction to this sugar free stuff is on a whole different level and it all happens sooooo fast.

    How long does this usually last?

    Anyone with previous experience?

    Going on 16 hours now with no relief in sight

    The first time I had something with sugar alcohols I was going in and out of the potty for about a day and a half. You do end up building up s tolerance for them though so the laxative effect diminishes.

    Glad I read this, I would not have known this information. Of course, it is a good cleanse I guess.

    Sugar alcohol will be on Nutrition Facts labels on food, snack,etc. It is in foods that are sugar free. BEWARE, that stuff is BRUTAL on some people digestive systems!

    Huh, that must be why chugging a 2 liter of Diet MTN Dew is just as good as milk of magnesia...

    Actually the sweetner in diet soda is not the same as in candy. They use sugar alcohols not Splenda or Nutrisweet in sugar free candy.

    It doesn't matter. Any kind of Mountain Dew will give you the squirts. I can't drink it.

    In case anyone is curious, here is exactly what I ate, don't let that small 3 oz. bag fool you ;)

    There should be a law requiring a warning inside the bag or something. The small, obscure warning on the outside of the bag you would never even notice, I didn't until it was too late LOL
