So glad to see the gummy bears mentioned.
Feel better, OP!

I did the exact same thing, long ago. I saw it only had like 2g fiber per 4oz serving, so I drank a quart. Spent 8 hours on the toilet, my roommate was bringing me Gatorade and laughing at my tears.
You know those funny reviews of sugar free gummy bears that like, ruined people’s day/lives/grounded planes after a bag was shared among passengers and then shat their literal souls out until they begged for mercy that did not come? ( www.amazon.com/review/RZFIYJTPVUZ94 )
Yeah, that’s because of sorbitol, the artificial sugar/laxative that is naturally occurring in high doses in prunes.

That’s a wild story! Sometimes it’s not drugs; just poop.

I once had the great idea of drinking a litre of beetroot juice, which I had read is amazing for sports recovery because of something something helping blood carrying more oxygen or something like that.
Instant diarrhea, and on top of it, beetroot tinted it looked just like blood, so up until I realised what was going on and the fact that it actually wasn’t blood, that was a scary experience.
I don’t know whether beetroot is known to cause diarrhea or it was just my body noping the juice out of it, but I have steered clear of beetroot juice ever since!

Beetroot is well known stool softener, in liquid and solid form. To keep regular, one should consume beetroot salad or soup once or twice a week.
