Candy while on a low residue diet

Does anyone know where candy fits in with a low residue diet? Chocolate, tootsie rolls, starbursts, gummi bears, processed sugar basically. Is that hard to digest, does it cause diarrhea or constipation? In the past it's never caused problems for me that I've noticed, but as I'm starting to introduce it back into my diet, I'm curious if it has causes problems for other people?
 
I wouldn't advise it. Sugar causes an elevation in bile production that can cause diarrhea and other issues if your gut isn't functioning properly.
