Fruit pastilles and toilet issues

Yesterday I bought a big jar of fruit pastilles 800g £4 quid a tesco on special christmas offer.

I have noticed an increase in bowel movements since beginning consumption (at around 8pm yesterday) and seeing as I finished the entire jar today was wondering if the coincidence of consuming such a large quantity was at all relevant.Time spent reading the ipad on the bog is now getting out of hand

Has anyone else concluded there’s a link with certain sweeties

I think you will find that the name fruit, has something to do with it.

Havent you ever thought of sharing with the rest of us.

Theres some truth they contain 25% fruit juice then.

er no I’m from Yorkshire which makes me a tight bastard

There was me wondering about 100/120mm forks and i saw this and had to look. Um, unlikely to be the fruit, gelatin is a mild laxative?

Shit, as they say, happens. Especially if you gorge on fruit pastilles.

We are heading dangerously close to picolax territory here.

Careful you don’t drop it down the shitter, I doubt you’ll find an app that cleans sugary turds off the screen…

An occasional clear out is good for you I reckon

I always thought that’s what fibre’s for.

A mild laxative prescribed by the docs for some ‘blockages’ is something akin to sugar water. It may infact be sugar water so necking a sh!t-load of sugary sweets probably helped your lack of braking at present.

OOOOOH its not quite picolax. I read the thread ,having tried the drink and experienced theinduced activities before the camera.But the frequency is right up there without the urgency to go….everything in the picolax thread is true

Ipad has replaced magazines for all male alone time in the bathroom, it lives in there permanantly on the pile of magazines.Her indoors is pestering for her own Ipad 2 now. She wont touch it says its filthy.
This however may be a good plan for any male having difficulty in keeping hold of said device as previously I could guarantee she would be welded to it on facebook.

At least I now know i may have created my own mild laxative and dont need to worry

Reminds me of a misguided sugar free mint session on the way to Glencoe. Had to run into the woods near Tyndrum!!

Jelly Babies…I find they are even more effective than Fruit Pastilles…and the damn things are so bloody moreish as well!

One word…… Pectin.

It’s what’s in prunes.

Coffee.

Strangely enough, coffee when I’m out, doesn’t have the same effect. But my coffee at home, bloody explosive!.

Maybe I need to purge the machine out…

I’ve never noticed this. But then I’m always eating real fruit.
