There is something about it that helps candida adhere to the oral cavity. Since I've stopped using the gum and mints with Sorbitol the thrush has cleared up. I believe it also gave me digestive distress and shakiness. Good riddance to Sorbitol!<br />==Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5794430.post-27740112293022843882016-04-12T21:34:06.663-04:002016-04-12T21:34:06.663-04:00Thank you for this!

I was rushed to the ER earlier this week. I was in the hospital for 2 days very ill. I had non-stop diarrhea for 6 days. This was the 3rd time in 6 months and I gave had a random rotten egg smell seep from me since 2001. I could never figure it out. I have gotten sicker over the years - diarrhea, abdominal pain, fatigue, chest tightness, the smell. At the hospital they did all sorts of blood tests, stool and urine checked, CT scan and colonoscopy. I have ersion and bad infection in my small intestines. I eat so clean, workout and drink tons of water. I started to think what could it be? BINGO I am addicted to sugar free Ice Breakers. I ear tons of them daily and have for many years. SORBITOL is the culprit! Thanks for helping me finally solve this medical mystery. The antiobiotics are clearing up the infection in my small intestines and I haven't eaten a mint in a week. I haven't felt this AMAZING in years. THANK YOY! THANK YOU! I CAN'T THANK YOU ENOUGH!!!!!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08173899173271476729noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5794430.post-82785978945094692652015-10-14T05:43:49.741-04:002015-10-14T05:43:49.741-04:00oh crap i literally just ate a whole tin of the be...oh crap i literally just ate a whole tin of the berry flavor while reading this, and i had eaten a whole one yesterday as well, there like my drug. hope i dont regret itAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5794430.post-71042449935088157402015-05-13T03:16:41.799-04:002015-05-13T03:16:41.799-04:00Im pregnant an eclipse mints is my craving, i know...Im pregnant an eclipse mints is my craving, i know im going to get a sore gutt but just cant resist.

I buy them, take them home and over a course of about 4-6 hours eat all 15 mini candies. 4 am comes around and next thing I know I am very, very ill. I thought I had food poising but ramen and vegetables do not really strike a food poising flag to me. I think realized the only other thing I ate was sugar free candies. I am going to buy my husband a 5 pound sugar free gummy bear bag and watch the magic unfold. >=DAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5794430.post-10346408470529193382015-02-01T01:57:39.529-05:002015-02-01T01:57:39.529-05:00Ahhhhhh!
