I've been off sugar for some time now...and I'm going NUTS!!!! I can't have sugar or yeast b/c of my YI and on top of that I can't have many foods b/c of an ulcer.
I want me some SUGARRRR! HELP!
I'm not sure if I'm asking for advice, if I'm complaining, or what! LOL
Fri. night I had some soda (it was all that was served...no water available!) and the sugar gave me a head rush since I've been off it for so long (I'm even careful with fruits!)
I want to cheat SO BADLY!
Thanks for listening.....
*hugs*

Ruchie, try Stevia. It's IBS natural, safe and contains no sugar. You can cook with it and bake with it and you can't tell the difference.

Ruchie, isn't there sugar-free candy available at the supermarket? Yeah, I'm sure there is. In fact, there's sugar-free cookies too if I'm not mistaken. A friend of mine got the munchies when she tried quitting smoking, and she didn't wanna gain a lot of weight, so she was buying that sugar-free stuff like it was going out of style.
I'll keep thinking of things for you . . .

I've tried the powder...nothing doing. Have you tried the liquid...I'm curious to try it, but they don't sell it at our health food store....
Thakns for thinking of me Karin! I'm sure we'll figure something out!

We can't have that sugar substitute -- does that mean the sugar-free candy as well? So that candy has a sugar substitute in it? I guess it would have to, wouldn't it? RATS! I hate that! 
Okay, so it's back to the drawing board . . . I'll keep thinking, Girlfriend! (And I'm glad you're here too!)

What about fruit juice? Didja say you can't have that either? Grape juice is so sweet and yummy -- I LUV grape juice. How 'bout THAT?

You're TOO MUCH!!!!!!!
Fruit juice, (fructose, right?) is hard for some of us to digest with IBS....for me, it's still too much sugar! I have to limit my fruit intake (yuckers!)
I guess it's only temporary...best way to look at it.
I'm just nervous I'm gonna OD on chocolate one day from a rage for sugar! LOL Right now I eat all day cause I feel deprived (and I'm sad...I can't get rid of my infection...), so maybe I should have ONE CHOCOLATE just to satisfy my craving? I read in a magazine that VERY STRICT diets even though this is not a diet to lose weight...it's still a diet!), can cause over-eating...that would be me right now...I'm an eating machine! 
In any case...I think I'll continue not to eat the sugar for now...as long as I can hold off...wish me luck!
And, if you think of anything, I'm all ears....if you can come up with something I haven't thought of that I could have...I'd be SO GREATFUL!

Stay away from sugar free candy it is filled with
sorbitol. I eat one and it's like taking a laxative.
Would it be possible for you to just get a hard
candy and suck on it for the sweetness? I really
know how you feel. I've been off sugar for months
and I'd love to have something yummie to eat.
If you find something I'll be interested to know myself.

Ruchie - The only thing I can think of is IF you do break down, maybe have a hard candy so it will last longer?
Or, I guess go for the good ol' Bengal Spice.
How long do you have to go without sugar - I think I'd die without chocolate!  Good luck!
