TL;DR. Bought my bf sugar free gummies as a road trip snack. I know he was sensitive to the ingredients and his farts were so bad we almost died

So basically my bf has been trying to eat a little better lately because his doctor is worried about him getting prediabetes in the near future. He has a bit of a candy binge eating problem, where he always has to eat the whole bag in one sitting if he opens a bag of candy. He does this with gummies, Reese’s minis, caramel candies basically whatever he has he’ll eat.

We were on the way to Six Flags last week (maybe a 4 hour drive) and I packed us a few snacks. Some chips, some sparkling water and of course the candy. I grabbed it from the Walgreens near my house for him to try as a healthier alternative. I’m not a huge candy person myself so I tried a piece or two and the gummies tasted pretty normal. He ate through the entire bag like 30 minutes in.

About 2 hours later he tells me that his stomach is hurting and we both thought it was weird since he hasn’t eaten much the whole day. We suspect he has mild ibs as well as lactose interesting so he’s prone to stomach issues, but he tries to be careful of what he eats. He rubs his stomach and I hear the most diabolical sounding fart I’ve ever heard in my life. I laughed because it was hilarious, until I saw him shift and let out ANOTHER fart. This one was somehow loud and quiet at the same time. Like someone was hissing or something! He apologized after the smell hit us and rolled down the window but the smell was so dense I’m not sure that even helped all that much. The whole car ride this man was just ripping ass left and right. I thought I was going to suffocate! I wanted to be mad but it was my own fault.

We ended up pinpointing the source as being from the gummies. Some people are sensitive to things like xylitol and malitol and it seems like he’s one of those people lol. Never again. A week later and I’m worried the car will never smell the same again. That should put a warning on those things.
