The link to this product is worth sharing just for the reviews - I was laughing so hard I was crying! But the intestinal effects might be helpful for those of you on opiates...just make sure you start with one or two gummy bears, not a handful!

I also laughed so hard I was crying. Thanks for the link! My daughter is going to send a bag to her old (much hated) boss.

Re: Help for constipation caused by opiates
I sent the link to my family - it really was funny reading the reviews.
My best friend and I cut out ALL sugar - even catsup or anything with it in it - about 20 years ago (and pre-internet and easy ordering online). We both seriously like candy and sweets. At the time, we were roommates, just out of college. After about two months of trying to find alternatives (not so easy back then) we found a candy store with sugar free candy. We went crazy and bought a LOT of it. We ate quite a bit on the way home. Thankfully home was only 15 minutes away and we had two bathrooms.....we needed them for quite awhile.
Sugar alcohols don't bother everyone - and different ones are more problematic than others for some people. We sure learned our lesson that day!
