It was an ingredient in a multi-vitamin that I took. It gave me cramps, nausea, and diarrhea.

I have been taking 2 tablespoons of Sorbitol every other morning for 20 years. I suffer from gastropareses and slow colonic transport.... I have been constipated since I can remember being alive, and my bowels stopped moving completely at age 36. Sorbitol produces a watery bowel movement within an hour like clockwork. It allowed me to live an almost normal life for 20 years. Im shocked at the complaints of cramping. I have NEVER had cramping and my issues are really serious. It is not addicitng, does not cause dependency. As I age the last year I notice its not doing as good a job so im looking for something else.Read More Read Less

Since when did this become an ingredient in MegaRed and in Qunol? Why would any capsules need a sweetener added? You don’t taste a capsule when you swallow it. No wonder I’m having constant issues with loose bowels!

Effective. Experienced rather painful intestinal cramping, audible to others grumbly noise and flatulance. Will follow doctor's orders for a healthier diet from now on. While this med solved my constipation, I want never to take it again.

I give 5 stars to effectiveness because not only did it replace sugar in the candy I was eating and make it so delicious that I ate more than I had intended, but it's other use, inducing extreme gas, bloating and watery diarrhea followed about 30 after ingesting this hellish ingredient. 5 stars for ease of use because the taste of the candy was superb and I couldn't help but eat an unhealthy amount of it. I would prefer to have selected NO STARS for satisfaction because of the hellish experience that I experienced thereafter. I was supposed to be at work at 5. I started having intense diarrhea for two hours prior and had to call out of work to deal with this insane ordeal. It is now 9 and I still occasionally feel my bowels send me into a panic that I will not be able to hold the toxic waste which I think is actually acid that is eating away my anus. My sphincter is literally raw. Whomever gave the go ahead to use this sugar substitute deserves to be dragged into the street and gunned down like the degenerate they are.
