5 AusMum  · As a diabetic, these are great! Those complaining should be thankful they have other options.
4 Sarah A.  · Really good customer service. I think that the peaches and cream sugar free gummies are absolutely divine!
5 asaprombee  · delicious and healthy, i love the taste and they are vegan, gluten free and sugar free
5 Brandon M.  · Izz Best this one!! – Veddy good dis one. Veddy yum yum!! I had 6 packets with 700g of protein yogurt. 698calorie cheat meal. What a hack!!
1 Jasmine S.  · Do not eat these!!! – Made the mistake of eating TWO packs without reading the packet. Never again.
3 Jodi  · These are close to the real thing – Be careful with these little bears, they can give mad stomach cramps, excessive wind and explosive diarrhoea

I haven’t eaten sweets for a while, so didn’t crave sugary confectionery. These ‘sweets’ on the other hand taste foul. Very unpleasant to eat, and a worse aftertaste. First and last purchase.

These should be permanently banned, they are dangerous – I bought a packet of the Double D sugar free Cola Bottles, I ate 2 (yes just 2) and they are tiny. 3 Hours later I was in excruciating pain with horrific stomach cramps that had me writhing in pain for the next 7 Hours and unable to work the next day. It was unbearable. How these are allowed to be sold at all is beyond me any other food item that did this would be banned.

Inedible for me – Sugar free but not GELATINE free. Revolting went straight in the bin. My fault I usually check but most manufacturers use pectin, guar or one of the many other substitutes so that they’re suitable for vegetarians, vegans and all religious groups. Show details

Horrendous – I had no idea they would do this as I often eat a whole packet of Fundays (50g) with no problems but I also ate the whole packet without thinking and thought I had food poisoning - came on instantly, terrible stomach pains and diarrhea… took 24 hours to get over it - should be banned from over the counter and issued with a warning !! Show details

Great health and teeth friendly treats – As per other reviews, do not over indulge. I am on a health kick/diet so got these to satisfy sweet cravings for the kids and I. Over indulging will definitely cause you to have an upset stomach, luckily that helps with the diet plans, as I shouldn’t be over indulging anyway. As per any healthier food, you get half the quantity for double the price

Double d gummy bears (commonly found in chemists) – Consumed a 90g pack of Double D Gummy bears, (27), around 1500hrs today. By 1600hrs severe stomach cramps followed by around 30min on the toilet, constant and steady flow of liquid every 5min or so. Then I remembered the missus had same problem with the double d eucalyptis lozenges with this STEVIA sweetner. Just read the packet and sure enough,… Read more

STEVIA. Have taken Imodium and now playing the waiting game. Alot of gurgling but thankfully no pain now. DO NOT GIVE CHILDREN THESE DOUBLE D LOLLIES, (COMMONLY FOUND IN CHEMISTS).

Diabetic Lollies that won't kill me – Anyone who use Stevia knows if you eat a lot of these lollies will give you the Trotts but I love them as being a diabetic they don't Jack my blood sugars as there is no sugar THANK YOU Show details

Closest thing to the real thing – I have read reviews on the Double D's gummy bears where these cause stomach upsets and gas.These did not have that affect on me and I ate about half a packet in one go. I have not had the gummy bears so I am not sure if these are any different. However their smart sweets range really messed me up. I have a spare packet in case I ever need a good… Read more

clean out! The jellies are the closest thing to the real sweet thing. Nice sweet hit when you need it.

Love these gummies can’t wait to buy more – I love the taste, just what I need to satisfy the sweet craving without the sugar. I always knew being a sugarless product that it would have a laxative effect if I ate too many as it warns on the back of the pack. Show details

Should be marketed as LAXATIVE GUMMIES – I ate them at work thinking they'd be a fun and tasty treat without sugar, and I ate like half the packet before I thought to myself hmm, why do I feel kind of weird? I then spent the whole day shitting myself. Thanks Double D Show details

Don’t buy you’ll regret – I wish I could give no stars or at least half a star. They delivered the wrong product with no contact to let me know. I do not like fruit drops and I ordered gummy bears Show details

Unfathomable pain – Jesus christ, the pain... they taste great but like the other reviews, these took me out of action for 2 days. I felt like a walking balloon and had severe stomach pains. These are dangerous... I had maybe 5 of them. Show details

I’m in so much pain – From the moment I finished the packet of these lollies, I started to feel nauseous. Then 1 hour after I started to get stomach cramps and gas. It’s now hour 5 and I am still in the same amount of pain. Have not needed to go to the toilet yet, but after reading the other reviews i’m worried. Wish me luck!

Never again. Ruined a day of my life – Please put a big warning on the packet, that says these lollies will destroy your stomach. I’ve never felt pain like this from eating anything before!

Life saver on a diet, just be cautious with them – I love these, they’ve satisfied my sweet tooth so many times on my diet. I do get the gastro effects that others have stated, mainly gassy and loose poops, but I live alone so I don’t really care. The sugar cravings are worse than the farts for me. I hope they keep making these! Show details

Delicious...all the taste and none of the sugar! – Great, tasty little gummies... packet is just too small, wish they came in a share packet. Have shared them around at work and pretty much everyone has taken a liking to them. Not sure what all the toilet/ reviews are about, perhaps they all seems a little fake and exaggerated - but that's just my personal view. Show details

Severe stomach cramps – While these are tasty, within a few hours I had horrendous stomach bloating, cramps and severe diarrhoea that can only be rivalled by extreme Bali Belly in my experience. Show details

Read the back before you eat them lmao – Okay so I got these because I’m dieting and I was cleaning and wanted a snack so I grabbed them out of the cupboard, I ate the whole damn packet and after about maybe 4 hours I felt like I needed to fart and after realising it definitely wasn’t the case I spent around 20 mins on the toilet and it honestly sounded like a tap running. The weird… Read more

thing is I haven’t had any pain like others have stated. I also didn’t read the laxative effect it may cause label as it was under the fold on the packet. I think it’s safe to say I won’t eat a whole packet again and I definitely won’t be farting for a day or so :/ Not the company’s fault though I should have looked into them before eating them. Although I do agree there should be a warning label on the front or out of the back fold. They did taste good though. ( I got the fruit jellies )

Knew I had found my Life Partner – It's true, I knew he was the "one" after eating a pack of these on the 2 hour car trip down to see him. I arrived feeling slightly off and very flushed, well, I spent the night destroying his toilet and giggling to myself as the horrendous, never ending farts echo'ed around his bathroom and down the hallway. At first I tried to muffle them with… Read more

some toilet paper scrunched up, but by the 4th trip to the toulet - I was beyond caring. My stomach noises were just as loud and embarassing. He still loves me apparently, and the lollies taste really nice - and they will definitely help me with my over indulgening issues.

All I can say is don’t eat the whole packet cause you will be farting and pooping heaps – Made a huge mistake off eating the whole bag when I was waiting for my car to be serviced and I’m tellin ya now it was the worst experience and the stomach and fart pains similar to labour!!!!!!!! Had to walk down to the super market and sit on the toilet for I’m not joking 3.5 hours just absolute wind coming out and very frothy yellow diarreah… Read more

could hardly think straight was sweating and very unwell! I ended up having a slight accident on the way home as I still had pains and loose poops for 2 days.

Don’t eat the entire packet for goodness sake and it should be a warning as it is a horrid problem and if it happened to a child that would be terrible!!!! Shame on you double d worse than taking a ton of laxatives.

Does taste nice tho, good flavour.

What’s with all the poo reviews? – I eat these everyday, probably 10 a day and never had an episode like the ones described in the reviews. I love them, the Fruit and cream ones are so Goddam good. Wondering if all reviews with the explosive poo theme are trying to poo poo the success of this brand? I always knew of the laxative effect but never felt anything weird so just guessed… Read more

it must be after eating bags of them. Will probably cut back now just incase as could be accumulative…..

These sent me to the obstetrician! – I was trying to be healthy during my pregnancy so I opted for some sugar free gummies as an afternoon treat. Whilst consuming these at my desk, one of my students warned me of their potential laxative effect. Brushing her off and sending her back to her seat I quickly downed half a packet. Sharing the rest with my co worker. It was the next day… Read more

and I came to work worried I was having a miscarriage due to the extensive pain in my lower abdomen. I spent the day doubled over in pain, praying to God for my unborn baby. I booked an emergency obstetrician appointment only to be told they were unsure of what was causing this pain. Half an hour later I received a call from my coworker who was experiencing explosive diarrhoeia. After googling this product we stumbled upon these reviews. Safe to say I will never get $150 back from my obstetrician. Baby girl was born happy and healthy in September.

Love these naughty little bears! – The most hilarious review reading! Yes, they do have a laxative effect, but it is clearly stated on the packaging. Enjoy in moderation.

WARNING: Do not eat if going on a road trip… – My son and I ate a packet of these between us this morning. They tasted great. A couple of hours later we both became very sick with painful gas and diarreah. We had not eaten anything else as it was morning and we were not sick in any other way (no fever etc). My son looked at the packet as he was throwing away the empty bag and saw a strange… Read more

ingredient that’s not in their other lollies that we always eat so we googled it and found it causes EXTREME laxative effects. Well it’s now 14 hours later, both of us are still on the toilet (I’ve had 6 gastro stop yes 6 and it won’t stop it’s coming out like water) and we are farting non stop. My stomach is making non stop gurgling noises like it’s having a party in there. I need to get up for work and he has to get to high school but I don’t think either of us will be going anywhere tomorrow feeling like this. These should have a huge warning on them across the front. They could do some very serious damage to someone. We are amazed to see so many reviews on here of people suffering the same and these are still being sold. I will call Double D’s tomorrow and complain on behalf of all of us who have been stuck to the toilet as a result of these lollies.

5 stars just for the reviews – I tend to buy double D's purely because i have a sweet tooth and i like to limit my sugar intake due to maintaining a healthy lifestyle and maintaining a fat free waste. The irony tho is eating these in large quantities obviously can help the process further along since they work as a laxative. Im guessing the amount of gummy bears in a packet explains so much ... haha Possibly the best and funniest review section for any products. Show details

Warning — have nobody around when eating the Gummy bears! – Make sure you have Adult Nappies on and some butt wipes ready to use when ingesting these gummy bears , (personally made by the Devil himself! ) Plus you may need Gas masks to give to your loved ones……..including pets . Due to the toxic farts … Warning do not light a match when you release that poisonous Gas out of ya butt….A mushroom cloud effect explosion may occur.

Innocent but deadly – These bears may look cute and innocent but don’t be fooled , I have just sat on the toilet for about the 48th time releasing straight water from my back end . Show details

I shat my pants – Literally. I shat my pants approximately one hour after eating a pack of these (don’t judge there are only like 15 in a pack). They were tasty, but not worth the violent diarrhoea I experienced (once I finally reached the toilet). I’m lucky me and my boyfriend are the real deal as I’m not sure anything less would have survived this mortifying experience. Please be careful with these folks. Show details
