This is hilarious. I just ate a bunch of sugarfree Jolly Ranchers and happened to glance at the back of the bag... It says "when eaten in excess, can serve as a laxative." My tummy hurts... :(

The sugar substitute in those candies have a laxative effect that can range from rumbles to full on spend-the-night-on-the-toilet. I'm a diabetic, and have tried a lot of those candies out there, and I find that if you eat them on a regular basis, you gain a tolerance and can eat more without the effects. However, if you take a break from those candies, it sets you right back to square one. I learned that one the hard way...

I think so or maybe when eaten in big quantity. I go to the restroom often whenever I eat a lot of sugarfree chocolate.

My son found my sugarfree candy one day. I got home from work & found all the wrappers in the trash.
I asked him if he had been to the bathroom alot lately.
He never ate my candy again!

Not diarrhea, but my husband got extremely...ummm..."gassy" after eating a whole bag. Taught him a lesson all right! Now he only eats a few at a time.

Yes, I've had the same experience. They'll twist your stomach, give you diahrrea and gas. Very uncomfortable!

First, I get really bad gas that smells like spoiled potatoes and then I crap for like an hour after that.

I get it from eating to many fat free chips--2 oz. is all I can handle at a time.

Yup. Alot of low-carb or splenda products will do that to you. Thank god, though, cuz I love the real stuff.

Are you lactose intolerant? Often candy has lactose in the ingredients.
