Pages: 1 | 2 | 3 | (show all) Ginger Candy       #189562 - 06/27/05 12:37 PM Edit Reply Quote Mitch Reged: 02/06/04 Posts: 170 Loc: Tucson, AZ I don't know if anyone has heard of this but this candy that a friend of mine here at work gave me and she has IBS also (but not as bad as most of here) but it works to help calm the stomach down. They are called Ginger Chews and they are made by the The Ginger People and you can get them at Trader Joes. They work. Every time my stomach starts getting a little grumbly I take one or two and about 5 minutes later my stomach is just fine. They are spicy hot when you bite into them but after awhile that goes away. They don't taste that bad also. I just thought I would share and hope others out there could use them. Have a great day!!!! -------------------- Michelle Print     Remind Me     Notify Moderator     they also make hard candy too- less sticky -nt       #189580 - 06/27/05 01:38 PM Edit Reply Quote Little Minnie Reged: 04/16/04 Posts: 4987 Loc: Minnesota -------------------- IBS-A for 20 years with terrible bloating and gas.

Treat insoluble fiber foods with suitable caution, and you'll be able to enjoy a wide variety of them, in very healthy quantities, without problem." Please eat IF foods!

I hadn't even heard of this type of candy until my friend brought some in and now I love it. When I run out of this bag I will have to look into the hard candy.

I keep a baggie of them in my fridge at all times. They're excellent for nausea and things like that, but I'm just completely hooked on the taste of them. The hard ones just weren't as tasty to me... I love the peppery-ness of the chews. Yum!

Try and look up Traders Joes online and see if they can ship them to you. Believe me they are worth it. I love them as well. I make sure I have some where ever I go just in case. You never know. I hope you can get some. -------------------- Michelle Print     Remind Me     Notify Moderator     Re: I LOVE GINGER CHEWS!       #190144 - 06/29/05 09:29 AM Edit Reply Quote chinagrl Reged: 12/18/03 Posts: 2439 Huh.

I'm not too impressed with the 'bite' of the ginger tea, but I know ginger is one of the best things for stomachs. Any chance at all I might like the ginger candy?? -------------------- Shelli - Wife & stay at home mom to 1 son, 1 dog & 2 parrots! IBS-A, usually C.

I buy the candied ginger root and it's wonderful. Make sure you get an all-natural one that is just diced ginger and pure cane sugar, no HFCS. It's spicy sweet and wonderfully settling.

The tea seems a little too bitey for me. However, I like teas where ginger is one of many ingredients, like Yogi's Stomach ease. And ginger limeade is really delicious.... --AC, suddenly hungry Print     Remind Me     Notify Moderator     Health food stores tend to carry them...       #190485 - 06/30/05 07:47 AM Edit Reply Quote atomic rose Reged: 06/01/04 Posts: 7013 Loc: Maine (IBS-A stable since July '05!) ...but if all else fails, you can definitely order them from their site (I think someone else just mentioned that).

I think ginger tea is NASTY. Refuse to drink the stuff. To me, it just tastes flat and... well, like dishwater, no matter how strong I try to make it. Ginger candy is actually quite a bit stronger with the ginger flavor, so if you're not crazy about ginger, I'm not sure how you'll like it... on the other hand, it's sweeter, so it kind of balances out.
