I ate a quarter of a packet of percy pig chews before deciding I didn't like them.
Was then Ill for the whole weekend with dreadful stomach ache, wind, painful abdominal swelling.
I dont have any allergies and I am still regurgitating them....sorry TMI.
Is it just me or has anyone else have this?

Never had that with Percy Pigs but, unless you have an intolerance to sweetners, id have thought there isnt anything in them to cause those sorts of issues?

I thought this was going the about how the flavour seems to have changed but clearly not.

I've never had any gastrointestinal issues after munching on them and I will often eat a whole bag in one sitting, no self control unfortunately.

Perhaps you're sensitive to one of the ingredients or whatever sweetener is in them

I have a friend who can't eat them for the same reason - it appears to be the 'glazing agent' (Carnauba Wax) which doesn't agree with her.
