Hi I was wondering if anyone knew of any sugar free sweets that don't cause wind?! I was diagnosed about 4 months ago but I can't find any sweets that don't cause this side effect and I miss having sweets help!
 
have one real sweet? or make your own LC ones ..all the 'sugar free' ones are rubbish
google LC treats

cocoa powder, coconut oil, desiccated coconut, broken blanched almonds, dried fruit...vanilla concentrate and peppermint essence..mix it all together and roll into balls and in extra coconut...
 
Chewing gum? U can get sugar free in loads of flavours. It's my saviour
 
Yes I do have sugar free gum which I really like its just times when my partner or son are eating things I can't have I wish I had something I could have I love the werthers original sugar free sweets but they don't react well with me!
 
This would be better for summer, but ice cubes made with sugar free squash?
 
If you don't mind making your own, i put a recipe for chocolate truffles on the recipes forum, simple to make and really rich. Not sugar free as it includes dark chocolate but my sugars still went down after I had a couple of them. (i had them two hours after tea as an evening treat as my BS was only 7.5 and two hours later it was down to 5.5 so no really problem), just don't eat them all at once that would put your levels up.
 
But take care with dried fruit as it can be much heavier in sugar than the fresh versions. (Dried figs and apricots are my not very often eaten and very evil sweet treats! )

Check our low carb recipes as I think there's a recipe there for low carb "Bounty Bars". If not try Google for it.

I remember my mum doing this with an ice lolly mould & chemist D squash when i was a kid..! Lol
 
If you like marshmallows Sainsburys make a sugar free version which are OK.
 
Berries and whipped cream and some dark chocolate shavings.

Never tried it but it sounds like reasonably low carb high fat
 
I took my kids into mollies a couple months ago and saw a big section of sugar free pic n mix! It tastes all right!
 
I buy sugar free sweets from Aldi lots of different flavours and mints, Holland and Barrett do sugar free sweets as well. Some people find they give them tummy problems but have not had any effect on mine
 
I tested first on any new sweets. Before and after at 30 mins 1 hr and 2 hr...if no blip on the meter enjoy. But beware some do really give you tummy probs if you eat more tham one or two

Found some caramelised apple version in Morrisons in little 42g boxes. 2.8g carbs per sweet but no effect on my numbers or my movements :-D
 
Have you been lurking around waiting to promote your product? I'd so, please go the whole hog and tell us where to get it!
