I searched the forum but I didn't see any talk about sugar free hard candies... My grandmother (who has the same problem as me) told me that when she has eaten sugar free candies in excess that it will actually cause her to have a BM. I was in awe of this and she told me to look on the back of the package... So, I did and it actually says "Caution: Excess consumption may have a laxative effect." I wasn't sure if anyone else had any luck of this? I stocked up on some of the sugar-free starlight mints, as well as the sugar-free baskin robins hard candies. I actually regularly eat mints in between meals if I get a little hungry, so it won't be a change in lifestyle. I'm just going to switch to the sugar-free kind. Has anyone had a response to sugar-free candies? Does it work?
