FYI-Sugar Free Gummies

Just thought I would share this with everyone. I had an experience a couple days ago. So I finally stopped flaring after weeks and weeks.(Stopped after getting my Remicade infusion) I was with my sister-in law and my niece (2yrs) She bought her some Sugar free gummy bears since they didn't have the normal ones she normally buys. Thinking Sugar free should be better for you right? So i Ate about 10 of them on a somewhat empty stomach. We all ate around the same amount I may have had less then them. about 30-45 mins later I started feeling really gassy ...So I go to the washroom and no joke I exploded. My Sister-in law says she feels the same. I'm thinking...maybe it was the gummies. Shes like...nah. Until she changes my nieces Diaper and ...Explosion. I look up online SF Gummy Bears and if your not use to SF candies they can act like a laxative. Only lasted about 4 hours but, was not fun. the next day blood showed up again and I have had a tiny flare since.
This is something I thought I'd share on here so no one has to go through that. I know I wont even be looking at Gummy Bears the same ever again SF or not.

Hmm interesting. I chew tons of sugar free gum and have never had an issue but I have for years. Be interesting to try some sugar free candy. Maybe...or not. LOL

I do better with regular sugar than alternatives as well. I wonder what type of chemical they use to sweeten those. It seems like most of us with UC doesn't handle artificial sweetners well.
