[QUOTE="dipsydo, post: 2047970, member: 371312"] As others suggest , if you get a meter then you can see what agrees with you because what works for one person may not work for another . I find that adding herbs or fresh ginger stops me getting bored of low carb food. For example adding chives to scrambled eggs . I experiment , sometimes it is is a success and other times ar not so good. Sugar free sweets often have sweeteners which have a laxative effect and I expect could be a source of the tummy trouble. 90% chocolate is low carb and can be quite palatable and gives you that chocolate high and do not have the sweetener. Alternative snacks are crackling or olives ( as you do not like nuts or cheese). Berries such as strawberries and raspberries are low carb and taste sweet and quite filling if you add cream. Frozen raspberries are also quite nice and cheaper, I do not recommend frozen strawberries as I find them a disappointment. [/QUOTE]
