Hello everyone -
I just thought I post this in case it might prevent someone else from getting sick too....
I tried using Crest Whitestrips. I am deathly afraid of them now. Here is why:
I put them in one morning after I woke up and had breakfast. I took special care not to swallow while they were in my mouth - who wants to swallow any chemicals?
About 2 hours later, horrible nausea hit. I spent the whole rest of the day in the bathroom - it was horrible. The pain, diarrhea, cramping and nausea were the worst I've ever experienced.
I was confused - no fever, no one else in family sick, ate nothing unusual and I was following IBS diet perfectly. I was stumped.
A couple of days later, I went to use the Crest Whitestrips again. I then noticed that sorbitol was an ingredient. Bingo! I waited one whole week to try them again.
During that week of waiting, I felt fine - great, really. Nervously, I used the Crest Whitestrips again. About 2 hours later, the same attack happened all over again. After a horrible and exhausting day in the bathroom, I had my husband pitch those (*&%^%#^$^**&^%$#!~$# things in the dumpster.
I am certain it was the sorbitol, and possibly other ingredients in them. Heck, if it bleaches your teeth and chemically removes stains, what do those chemicals do to sensitive IBS intestines?
I wanted to post my experience - I don't want anyone else to suffer like I did!
