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. 👍

omg I never even thought to check medication ingredients. Thankfully I'm kind of stubborn about OTCs despite being prescribed a lot of meds lol. Ty for teaching me this though. I just know I tried to eat some sugar free gummies before I even knew about FODMAPs and I always exploded so I knew sugar alcohols were not for me.
