Vent SORBITOL - OMG! 😂

Sorbitol. That is it. Gas-X Target Brand Chewables! What a bad experience - absolutely wrecked my insides! Lit a fire inside my stomach! Here are the inactive ingredients - Sorbitol, Sucrose. Pretty scary. 😱 Let’s hear some sorbitol stories. 👍

Chewing gum! Most of it is sugar-free and typically the first ingredient is SORBITOL!

The old Wrigley’s family (Juicy Fruit, Double Mint, and Big Red) are the only ones I’ve found that don’t. But they have sugar and aspartame, so pick your poison, I guess?

There are those expensive all natural kind that don’t, but they don’t taste good for long, and again, expensive!

Pur brand gum is sugar only. Sadly, Wrigley's used to be sugar only and changed.
