I take a multivitamin and don't find it a problem. I guess you won't have my Brit brand, so I won't bother to go and see what it is! 
Old-fashioned boiled sweets are my candy!

Hey Linz,
Im from England too...near liverpool...just wondering what brand of multivitamins you use?? The ones I was using were from Holland and Barrett and I stopped taking them when I realised they had artificial sweeteners in them! Let me know...thanks xx

Natalie and Linz- speaking of "Britbrands" since I am in Ireland I have all the same stuff as you guys- I'd love to confer with you on safe brands of lots of stuff, keep an eye for posts from me in the future!!
(I was in M&S last night and they have specials on pretzels and rice crackers at the moment..they must have known I was coming!)

Check your vitamin label for lactose -- extra high levels of vitamin C --- things like that. I ended up actually getting the store brand that compares to Centrum with Lycopene. It dissolves fairly quickly too -- so you're not wasting money -- and it hasn't bothered me. I take it with breakfast.
As for the candy..... I am so bad about that.. if I eat candy (which is not often) I do things like nerds, necco wafers... maybe licorice. I more often snack on baked goods though.

SevenSeas one-a-day Multivitamins with Cod Liver Oil (I figure with Fibro that anything that helps my joints is good). It's a capsule you swallow whole, so no sweeteners at all.

I'l look out for ur posts...look out for mine too. Natalie xx

I am a candy nut - I eat it all the time....some people have problems with the HFCS, so I don't know - you might have to just try different stuff and see.
I eat salt water taffy a lot, and circus peanuts, nerds, skittles, laffy taffy, gushers, fruit rollups...(ok after reading this it's amazing I don't weigh 300 pounds).
Oh - and you can just buy an already made angel food cake - I eat that a lot too.

The vitamins, I take are Solgar multi vitamins, with chelated vitamins (what chelated means that they are easy on the stomach)an I take an additional C, because it doesn't have enough in it. I take Solgar Ester C, this is also for sensitive stomachs, it is a lot easier to break down, since C is very difficult to break down. This is the only vitamin that doesn't bother my stomach. As for candy, I don't know of any safe ones, so I have been avioding it all together.

Cara, I too can eat candy without problems. I'm a chocoholic. Most cakes and cookies too are fine with me. Cheesecake is iffy cause of the cream cheese. But yes, I feel fortunate that I can eat candy. Kinda takes the place of the fact that I CAN'T eat ice-cream. I miss it so much! Milkshakes, thick chocolate ones! Ok, I need to go eat some chocolate cake I just made!
