Rumors mentioned gummy bears contains a sweetener Lycasin trade name, its main component is maltitol (maltitol). Sugar alcohol as a sweetening agent is like, tooth-friendly, low in calories, but when eaten in large doses will be a bit of trouble, that is, diarrhea and gas (fart).
The reason for this discomfort is that these sugar alcohols are not easily digested and absorbed, indigestion and absorption, so they stay in the intestines. On the one hand is the result of this, the intestine fluid osmotic pressure, and we all know that on both sides of a semipermeable membrane, the water will run into the side of a high osmotic pressure, so the intestine where there is more moisture causing osmotic diarrhea. On the other hand, the intestinal bacteria in the metabolism of these sugar alcohols also produce gas, so they fart.
Some other oligosaccharides also have similar problems, but this situation is usually benign, occurs only when a lot to eat, do not need to worry too much. Anyway, do not eat too much time alone.
These sugars are not absorbed depending on the type, cause there are some differences in the degree of diarrhea and flatulence. Sucrose candy should not have this problem, because the sugar can easily be digested, and not a lot left in the intestines.
In fact, according to this principle as well as the manufacture of laxatives, using lactulose, it is not digested and absorbed in the small intestine, can relieve constipation.
