Anyone here had that um, leakage issue with the gummy bears? It's a favorite in my household and no one has ever gotten the runs from them. Then again, we don't eat pounds of them at a time...
 
One of my sweetest coworkers brought us mini bags of the Haribu gummy bears for Halloween one year. Does this mean she secretly hates us?

Nope. She probably has no clue that this can happen, I didn't until I read this thread. We don't eat them by bags full, but we have them on occasion and we haven't ever experienced this reaction. Now, if someone brought us a huge bag I'd wonder about the intention, but not a mini bag.

Apparently, it’s only the sugar free version if the Haribo gummies (and I guess you can’t even buy them anymore). They contain a sugar substitute called Lycasin, that the body can’t absorb, and that’s why it causes a laxative effect.

That's interesting. Xylitol has the same effect. Due to being diabetic, my mom has switched to Xylitol when she bakes, and now the entire family is terrified of eating her baked goods, and also offending her. :nuts: ( It does promote miraculous weight loss, although you can't leave the house for a couple of days. :whut: )

:lol: My mom did that when my dad was diagnosed diabetic. Didn't want to offend her by not eating the things she baked but had to eat in very small portions or else we'd be stuck in the bathroom the next day.
