What I learned the hard way today.... :(

I am never, never going to eat a whole package of sorbitol-sweetened gummi bears again. Apart from the horribly obvious lower digestion tract thingy, I can't eat because I have a very bad case of indigestion.
We all have to learn something the hard way, and it was my turn today.

Pretty nasty, huh! Arrggh, and you know what else, just staying away from low carb junk food will help you get rid of those cravings completely.

It's hard for a while, but once it's out of your system, you just don't think about sweets anymore!

Hope you feeling better!

Not a lot. I did manage to eat a chicken leg, but it took me a couple of hours to get it down. The good part is that to get my mind off my situation, I made a pumpkin cheesecake - Haven't tasted it yet, but the mix was definitely yummy!!

I'm glad you're feeling better. Are you eating sweet (splenda) treats (cheesecake) everyday?

Welll, it all started out when I had mistakenly incorporated the 3g Atkins pancakes into my induction. I have shelved them for the time being, but I was finding that I was at a loss to find something sweet and filling to take their place. I haven't had any cheesecake yet; it took me a couple of days to get the ingredients. Weirdly, several stores were out of pure pumpkin!! Must be the Halloween thing because our Thanksgiving was over weeks ago. Today is day 11 on induction. I've lost about 6-8 pounds and have about 15-20 to go. I haven't decided whether I'm going to stay on induction after day 14, but the closer it gets, the more I think I will.

Who knew gummi bears could be so evil! It's funny how some of that stuff won't have any effect and others just make you want to die. Hope you feel better!

I am now - thinking of evil gummy bears really made me laugh!! Thanks

Those gummy bears are dangerous. The one and only time I ate them was at a movie theatre, and within 20 minutes of eating them, my stomach started to make noises I have never heard before, cramps and indigestion followed for hours after. Not worth the short term fix, and I won't do that again!

[Castoridae]

Yep, that's pretty much what my experience was - plus the numerous trips to the bathroom!!

I learned the hard way too a long time ago w/ the Evil SF Jelly Belly Beans, I didn't even eat what they said was one serving and I thought I was gonna end up in the hospital!
