Do NOT eat an entire bag of Sugar Free Twizzlers

[kaf7878]

Go to CVS. Decide to get treat. Love Twizzlers. See they have SF Twizzlers. Decide to be "healthy" and go for the SF variety. Eat entire bag (about 3 servings). Take nap. Get woken up from nap by 3-piece orchestra in my stomach. Retrieve Twizzler bag from trash and read back. Malitol. Lots of it. Warning about poopy pants and gas. Get book and pillow. Proceed to toilet.

I'm sorry, but....

I have noted this wisdom for the future. Thanks!

Yep, it's like Splenda. Eat too much of it at your own peril!

Oh, I did the same thing, except with a bag of Russel Stover SF jelly beans. I made the mistake of eating them a couple hours before studying for a big lab exam...there was NO studying that evening!

Bless your heart!
I keep regular twizzlers in my house but not SF. This is good to know!
I also have an additction to Swedish Fish. I cannot even buy the darned things because I have no self control when it comes to Swedish Fish!

Wait! Does Splenda do that to you? How much Splenda?

1. I would never eat an entire bag of either SF or regular Twizzlers - they taste like wellington boots.

2. Why do you take a pillow to the bathroom?!

Its gonna be a LONNNNGGGGG night for her in the bathroom...

My dad had the same problem with ANYTHING that was sugar free.. One piece of his gf's SF candy and he would be in the bathroom with in the hour... He said some of it was worse than exlax for him.. TMI I know but hey most of this thread is

I use a lot of Splenda being diabetic and it doesn't give the same problem as sugar alcohols. I can't even eat a single serving of sugar-free candy if it is made with sugar alcohol. It is like I have taken a box of Ex-Lax all at once.

I dont beleive Splenda does it. It doesnt do it to me.

1. I've never tasted wellington boots.

2. Taking cat naps between the waves.

 

[HelenePA]

I dont even know what a wellington boot is?

Not to me. I drink a couple of Diet Rites a day, sometimes a piece of cake baked with it or other Splenda treat, so I don't know, maybe a boatload of Splenda would do it to me, too.

That part threw me for a loop as well.

Wellies!

I can't tolerate any of those fake sweeteners except stevia. Sorry it made you feel bad. you were trying to be good!

 

[Kath2003]

Chin up, you'll probably have lost a few lbs by the morning

you take a pillow so you can lay on the floor and rest. Been there for several reasons.

In the US we have another name for those. Goloshes (Spelling)

Splenda does nothing to us here....I use it in everything.

But...manitol, is a definite beware!! It doesn't bother me as much as it does DH. he was to be really careful to not eat too much with that as a sugar replacement
