I just got hooked on these candies. And I noticed the ones I get from Trader Joe's have 8% Ginger and they aren't as good as the ones from Sprouts with 10% Ginger. The thing is, the good ones make me eat lots of them, like crack. And then I have straight liquid BMs. Dangerously hard to hold in. Do you all think it's the higher Ginger content or just because I'm eating 120-150gms of sugar within a couple hours? Anyone else have problems with Ginger candies and their effect on the bowel?

It sounds like you're eating a lot of sugar.Those candies can be addictive, like chocolate! If you love the taste of ginger, why not buy fresh sliced ginger in a jar and eat it? You know the ginger that you get with a meal in Japanese restaurants? You can find that type of ginger, or similar types, in stores like whole foods, a health food store, or in Asian grocery stores for around $5 a jar usually. It can be pickled or sweet. Read the label and get the jar that lists the least amount of sugar content. We have a jar of this in the fridge and either eat it as a refreshing snack, after a meal, or use in cooking. There's also a company called The Ginger People that sells delicious sliced ginger in a jar. I hope this works for you.

I use candied ginger with honey and lemon as a tea when I have a sore throat (like lately) and it empties out my pouch like draino...it is the ginger. 

When I have a problem with thick output (I have a k pouch) I use ginger. It is magical unless you do Not want liquid output or if you have a blockage or occlusion...then it could be very dangerous!
