    I sometimes feel like shit if I get a drink with one of the red dyes, red 40 I think? It’s in orange crush, some pink lemonades, and some fruit punches iirc, but it makes it feel like there’s pressure on my gut. Kinda like I have to take a dump but I don’t.

    Probably not what you experienced but figured I’d mention it since it took me a while to make the connection, especially since it doesn’t always happen if I have an orange pop (maybe different dye?).

      Hmm, that’s interesting. I’m a big orange soda fiend and I drink Sunkist, Crush and Fanta. it does appear that only Crush has Red 40 in it. Sometimes I feel like I have to fart real bad and sometimes I don’t - maybe that’s the dye. I should really be drinking water but I find it so boring.

        Ah nice, I see fanta a lot but often skip it because I don’t want to risk feeling kinda crappy. But I’m glad I like water, it’s so refreshing!

        Edit: maybe try a filtering system, because after thinking about it, crappy water isn’t very fun to drink, but my reverse osmosis filtered water is great.
