>A 33-year-old UK truck driver needed emergency treatment after consuming a large quantity of gummies in a relatively short period of time.
>Nathan Rimington, a truck driver from Yorkshire, reportedly ordered a 3kg (6.6 pounds) container of Haribo Cola Jelly from Amazon after getting a craving for gummy candies. He proceeded to consume the 10,461kcal-worth of gummies in just three days, and started experiencing serious physical symptoms shortly after. He was taken to the emergency room with severe abdominal pain, sweating, high blood pressure, and cold sweat. Initially, the medical staff suspected that the man was suffering from food poisoning, but further tests revealed unusually high levels of gelatin in his digestive tract. After performing several tests, Rimington was diagnosed with acute diverticulitis.

>Diverticulitis is a condition in which small protrusions, called diverticula, form in the colon wall, causing infection or inflammation. Medical experts explain that consuming large amounts of certain ingredients, such as gelatin, can increase the risk of bowel movement and intestinal obstruction. Systemic symptoms such as fever, chills, indigestion, and vomiting may also occur.According to medical experts, the most common symptom of diverticulitis is persistent, severe abdominal pain in the lower left abdomen. This pain is distinctly different from typical indigestion or constipation, typically lasts for more than a day and gradually worsens. Some patients may experience bloody or mucus-filled stools, and if symptoms become severe, there is a risk of colon perforation, which may progress to peritonitis.In Mr. Rimington’s case, doctors immediately stopped all oral intake and started intravenous fluid therapy. was hospitalized for six days in intensive care with a high fever and severe abdominal pain. Luckily, he made a full recovery, but will probably not indulge in a gummy for a very long time.

My dog had something similar but not as severe. She got into a 1lb bag of gummy worms and ate them. Wound up throwing up for a day and then like 3 days didn't poop. Took her to the vet the day after (or of) that she threw up and they xrayed her, I was worried she ate plastic or something.
There was a giant mass of gummy literally the entire size of her colon just sitting there. One massive gummy turd. The vet had us just "flush it thru" by feeding her a lot of yogurt and congee. Worked out pretty well

How did all this gelatin get in his digestive tract?
What does this have to do with Hunter gRumpf's taint?

" Yummy yummy gummy, I want in my tummy ~ "Seriously though, it's like there is some mystical justice force that automatically punishes Greedy Gluttons.Call it God or Karma Scientific Truth or whatever.Anyways, glad Mr. Rimington made full recovery. Hopefully he learned his lesson to heart regarding moderation in eating.

gelatin consumed in a more casual manner is not typically harmful but helpful because it helps the building blocks of connective tissues - like help stretch the colon walls. But maximum effort for this man for finding his breaking bad point.

I recently ate 3 packages of no sugar ginger and turmeric gummies(21 gummies in all). These gummies contain inulin and resistant dextrin from soluble corn fiberThe package says to eat one a day. I had severe intestinal cramps and a humongous bowel movement the next day. So now I only eat one package a day = 7 gummies and I have my usual huge bowel movement.. .. it's just strange looking feces yucky and gelatinist goo. But they taste so good and I can eat them before bedtime and not need to brush my teeth

Are we sure it was the gelatin and not the sugar and other ingredients?

>gelatin
Yet another example why a plant based diet is superior.
