Why oh why

Sometimes I amaze myself with my stupidity.  I know sugar is not a good thing for me.. and I know that sf is not a good thing.. but here I am eating sf jelly beans.. So I have been in and out of the bathroom for the past 3 hours.. it even says on the bag... "WARNING: CONSUMPTION MAY CAUSE STOMACH DISCOMFORT AND/OR LAXATIVE EFFECT...... but no.. i gotta eat them anyway.. oh my poor tummy is rumbling and rumbling.. you can hear it a block away.  yikes..  good thing I am alone in the office today..lol Just had to share my pain with you all .. stay away from sf jelly beans.. they are mean little buggers. Carla

Those things are lethal!!! Step away from the SF jelly beans and no one gets hurt....   ..... especially you. I do okay with other sugar alcohols but SF jelly beans... owie, do I get gas pains.  Hubby has had da "trots" from SF licorice - definitely that laxative effect was reached if not surpased for him.  LOL.  I felt bad for him one day until I saw the empty bag of SF licorice in the trash.  Then I told him "You deserve it" - we both laughed for a long while and of course he had to run back to the restroom after shaking things up again. Good luck to you!  I hope the self-induced "issues" resolve quickly.   Kathy

thanks for the warning on the licorice.  I saw that the other day and thought about trying it.. yikes.. if its anything like these jellybeans i would die for sure.. Carla

Carla I feel for ya!! I can't do any sugar subs other than splenda...if its not a rash or hive then its the same effect the jelly beans had on you with stomach cramps. Well you will be a little lighter in the mornin' good way to look at it!!

There couldnt be anything left in me after this..lol.. guess I will see what tomorrow will bring on the scale..lol

Carla, I'm so sorry you are suffering!  Thank you for the warning, though.  I bought a package of sf jelly beans to have during Easter and have had enough willpower not to get into them yet.  Maybe I'd just better take them to work and put them up for 'adoption' there.   Luckily I don't have trouble with the sf peeps.  I bought a case of them to use for recipes and have been able to keep from committing peepacide too.  Woohoo! Molly

that is so funny.  I've never seen them before... I am giving up sf candy for good after today. LOL Carla

Awww...Aren't we all just testing the water's lately.... HA!  I was an angel today!  But the night is not over yet and sometimes I scare myself!  LOL You could save the jelly beans and take instead of laxatives...Bet it would taste better than that milk of magnesia I take! LOL   I hate mean food.... Hugs Anita

Hahahaha.. thats what I eat the sf ice cream for.. much better than MOM  and it doesnt kill me like those jellybeans did.  yikes.. maybe you should try a scoop at night to keep you cleaned out.. hehehe Carla

I did three little sugar free peeps today because I just had to try them and see what they were like..Not bad. But I know, I better not go one nibble further or that SF monster will get me and I'll be in the bathroom all night.  I know they have a laxative effect and I did them anyway but apparently I'm okay for now.
