Hard candy pleeeease ??

Hi,

I am looking for something sweet to eat that does not hurt my stomach.  Something like hard candy would be nice.  Does anyone have any suggestions without me having to make it myself? 

Thanks,

Hi Suebear,

I read an article yesterday that tic tac mints in general can be the cause of UC.  There were so many articles that I'm afraid to try anything.  I bought the tic tacs and have been eating them for years because they had natural sugar instead of all the sorbitol and aspartame that others have.  Do you have any problems with peppermint or cinnamin mints or hard candy?  I've given up so much food(s) because of Interstitial Cystitis and it makes me angry now that I can't even enjoy hard candy.  I dont' even eat sweets just that.  I appreciate your reply and would like to know if you can tolerate either of the above.

I don't know how others would respond to this, but even in the midst of a flare, I have good luck with the Spicy Apple Ginger Chews from the Ginger People (my neighborhood grocery store carries them).

They contain cane sugar, which I seem to be able to tolerate just fine -- it's aspartame and other sugar substitutes that bug me.

I would buy a bulk pack on line except that I'd be likely to eat nothing but ginger chews until they were gone LOL

Those look great bbc...wonder if they're in Canada too? much check it out further.
