Default Sugar Free Jelly Beans??
OK I have a question, as you know I gave up sugar for Lent. I stumbled across some SF Jelly Beans yesterday, ate a handfull, they were very good. Got home a couple hours later and had the worst digestive issues you can imagine. Then today I ate about 25 jelly beans(says a "serving" is 35 jelly beans), then I started reading the package and it says that "over consumption can cause digestive problems"!!! OMG!!!! I hope I am not in for another painful night in the bathroom!

Has anyone else had problems like this from SF Jelly beans or any other food with Maltitol in it?

YES!!!!

Maltitol is a big time colon kicker. Side effects vary - some people don't have any problems at all with it. Hopefully you won't have too many problems tonight. There's always Gas-X!

Okay well I kinda figured something out! I usually have to take a little senna to "do my business" regularly....so I had already taken it the day I had the "issues". Well yesterday I forgot to take it....granted I hadn't made the connection yet...so I quick ran tot he drug store and bought a package of gax-x just in case, and I took 2 pills about 90 minutes after I ate the jelly beans. So I didn't have that much problems last night, but I did manage to "go" without taking my senna..lol

Needless to say I tossed the rest of the package of jelly beans and will avoid them at all cost.lol

Yeah, Anything that says sugar free usually has (not to be graphic) but gas inducing properties. It's best to look for no sugar added. I'll admit I do have more than I should some times of those sugar free chocolates and I do pay. I guess if you don't like it then stick to not having the candy! Good luck.

You might want to talk to your doctor about the senna. Most people shouldn't take an herbal or chemical laxative regularly.
