Has anyone had serious side effects from using Sorbitol 70% Solution?

I've been using Sorbitol 70% Solution for a few weeks now to manage occasional constipation, and it's been effective so far. However, I'm a bit worried about the potential side effects, especially the urgent ones. I've experienced some mild stomach cramps, but nothing too severe. Has anyone else had any serious side effects, like an allergic reaction or severe stomach pain? I'd love to hear your experiences and any tips on managing these side effects. Also, if you've had to report side effects to the FDA, how did that process go? Thanks for sharing your insights!

I had a really bad reaction to it. Swelling in my throat and trouble breathing. Scared the hell out of me. Went to the ER and they said it was an allergic reaction. Never touching that stuff again.

I think it's hilarious how people complain about these mild side effects. It's a sugar alcohol, not a miracle drug. You'll be fine. Just don't overdo it.

I had some mild diarrhea when I first started using it, but it went away after a few days. Just make sure to drink plenty of water!

I had severe stomach pain and ended up in the hospital. Turns out I had an intestinal blockage. It was scary, but the doctors said it wasn't caused by the sorbitol. Just be careful and listen to your body.

Anyone know if it's safe to use while pregnant? My doctor prescribed it, but I'm a bit nervous. I'd appreciate any personal experiences.

I've used it a few times and never had any issues. Just make sure to follow the dosage instructions carefully.

I've had great results with it. I've also heard it's used in some surgical procedures. Anyone know more about that?

I used it during a colonoscopy prep. It was rough, but it worked. Just make sure to hydrate and avoid caffeine. Your body will thank you.
