Send help. Too many Aldi sugar free gums

[Houseplanter]

I really should have heeded the warnings..

How long will it last?!

And it burns burns burns….

Ouch, I hope it isn’t too painful! I used to eat a whole pack deliberately to bring on diarrhoea in my disordered eating days (not recommended). Then the last time I tried it I think they’d changed the recipe or something and there was no diarrhoea just absolutely agonising trapped wind and cramps for hours. God that was awful. Cured my laxative habit though!

Oh god is it the foam sweets? I literally thought I'd shit out my whole stomach, intensities, bowel, liver and colon when I ate a whole pack!!

12 - 24 hours. Diarrhoea relief capsules will help to stop it quicker.

I always get constipated so these sweets might actually help me!

Sorbitol?

I'd see if you have any sudocrem

It's not easy. It'll give you a stomach ache too. A bad one.

Heed the warnings…

Been there. Be grateful you're at home and not out in public.

@LunaNorth that made me laugh..

They're not wrong

Haha, I was about to post that! Hilariously worded reviews.

I made a similar mistake years back with a box of sugar free sweets.

Oh yes. Been there on a day trip to Staten Island. I can tell you were all the loos are in that park. All from a handful of sugar free sweeties. I didn’t make the connection until the next day when I looked in my bag.

Good Luck OP. Hope the cramps stop soon.

Also been there. My insides fell out, I thought I was just going to be like a shell of skin and skeleton and other organs.

Excessive consumption causes laxative effects. The warnings there (I've definitely never made the same mistake 👀)

Although now thinking of getting some to give out at Halloween to the greedy shit who has bullied my son when he comes round knocking on the door 🤔

It’s a revelation. I don’t eat sweets but wondering if my DC’s know this!

Is it in Diet Coke? A can of that always ‘triggers’ me

Well it seems the final rinse and spin may have been in the early hours and I've managed a few hours sleep.

Won't be making that mistake again!

Luckily I cannot eat anything Haribo as they are obsessed with gelatine but I have had problems in the past with sugar free mint sweets. Anything with Sorbitol or Xylitol is the Devil's work!!!

In my household the Aldi sugar free sweet range are known as “fart sweets”. I couldn’t work out why I was so windy and then my DD started up and I remembered the strawberry and cream sweets we’d been eating in the car.

Oh dear 😬 ..Is it sorbitol ? have had to warn dh about this in the past.

To be fair, the clue is hiding in plain sight right there in the name: sore butt 'ole

It's a bit cheeky how they say 'excessive' consumption - which you'd maybe take to mean more than a couple of good handfuls - when they really mean 'any at all'.

It does make you wonder why products such as Ex-lax and Dulcolax even exist in the first place. If you need the violent purging effects, why not just buy some sugar-free gummy bears instead and at least enjoy the taste, before the raging torrents arrive?

😂🤣

I completely agree!

I had this the other day after eating half a bag of sugar free Werthers, had to make an emergency dash to a shop with a toilet, which I filled with the hugest 💩 I've ever done - it must have been at least 18 inches long. 🙀
