Dang, that doesn’t sound fun.

Make sure to drink a lot of water or sports drinks. Anything with electrolytes that will get you hydrated again.

I can definitely feel your pain and discomfort @Rainstorm

I consumed a few sugarfree hard candies about an hour ago and now I can feel my GI tract starting to bloat and ominous rumblings.

I must be hypersensitive to artificial sweeteners since my GI tract reacts as if they are potent laxatives, even if I just consume a few sugarfree candies. I feel like the.blueberry girl from Willy Wonka with the bloating starting. Now the crampIng is starting too. Oh boy, I am in for a rough time. :grimacing:

Yikes, laxatives overdoses can be pretty scary. Hopefully it wasn’t too much of an overdose just slightly?

be careful not to do that. too much laxatives as well as inducing vomiting can both put serious strain on the body and especially the heart

Can you keep some electrolytes on hand if it happens again?

I drank some electrolytes and lots of water yesterday because (TMI) I literally had to stay in the bathroom for 30 minutes or so until my GI tract was completely emptied out. :frowning_face:
