Looks like those sugarless gummy bears should be avoided.

i bought a bag of those peppermint round candies from the grocery store and had a very similar experience. I thought I had food poisoning, but when I came back to the supermarket to look closer it used some type of artificial sugar.

Lycasin's known side effects in adults include bloating, intestinal gurgling or rumbling (borborygmi), and flatulence. Some cases of severe intestinal distress have resulted from consuming excessive quantities of foods containing Lycasin.

Gummy shit is candy without the fat. People demonize sugar too much.

If kids ate more gummy bears they'd be less obese and then wouldn't have to worry so much about losing their foot to the diabeetus.
