It may be embarrassing to talk about-- but there's a sweetener used in sugar-free gum and candy that could lead to serious bowel problems.
Sorbitol has been linked to chronic diarrhea, abdominal pain and severe weight loss in patients who ingest large amounts.
Sorbitol isn't absorbed by the small intestine well, and is known to have laxative properties.
