Do Cough Drops Cause Gas?
Curse Of Millhaven
constantly popping sugar free cough drops the past few days. I haven't
been eating much and as much as I love me some Robo DM, I decided to
try to do without this time.
The only problem is I have the worst gas. Worse than usual. I haven't
even been eating that much. I can feel my colon bloating up like a
dead animal on the side of the road and that's almost what it smells
like in here. It's like a separate sickness all in it's own. It
especially sucks when I am at work. Could it be that the cough drops
are causing the gas?

That may be part of it but some of it is caused by the fact that you are
swallowing a lot of air as you suck on the cough drop.

And of course I finally bother to look at the package today. "Excess
consumption may have a laxative effect." Today was a total nightmare.
Good thing hardly anyone came in the office today and the boss was off
hiding somewhere. Coughing is just too painful and disruptive and as
much as I love cough syrup I really didn't want to go that far.
But the intenstinal discomfort faded not long after I took the last
one.

When you have a cough is really not the best time to have diarrhea.
(I've still to figure out exactly when /is/ the best time to have
diarrhea.)

When you're trying to make weight, it's usually not unwelcome. Which
is probably the best I can say about an episode of diarrhoea.

are known to cause gas problems when taken in excess. Beano style
enzyme pills can turn these back into ordinary sugars, but then you
get the calories, too.

from some complex carbohydrates to make them digestible. It does
nothing to sugar alcohols.
Removal of the galactose and the action of other digestive enzymes
hydrolyse the remaining carbohydrate chains so they can be absorbed;
otherwise they would pass unchanged through the intestine until they fell
upon gut bacteria that can metabolize them and produce gas in the process.
