Wouldn't cause a reaction like that, much more likely to be food poisoning from the CFA. Or just all the oils, or any number of other things.

It's like saying if you eat pop rocks and soda too close together your stomach will explode. Nothing bad actually happens, and it definitely won't rocket through your whole GI system and shoot out the other end. Much more likely you effectively dosed yourself with a laxative (the sweeteners in mints are almost all laxatives)

If he downs those mints like candy I'd suspect they probably have malitol in them. The same ingredient that has cursed those who have happened upon certain sugar free gummies.

Dude the main ingredients are sorbitol and malitol. You're giving yourself severe diarrhea. I suggest limiting consumption to a few per day. A few icebreakers, not a few packs.
