CAN I have been dealing with the same problem and while it's not always the best substitute (because nothing is a good as chocolate I find) I have been eatting plain corn pops (plain as in no milk or added sugar, just eatting them dry right out of the box) banana bread (which is also filling at the same time) or sometimes gummy bears...

They're yummy plus they're good for you- calcium,vitamins etc -------------------- Sarah IBS-C Print     Remind Me     Notify Moderator     Re: Sugar Cravings....       #316870 - 10/18/07 05:15 AM Edit Reply Quote nikjones1977 Reged: 10/15/07 Posts: 14 Thanks guys, although what you've mentioned is far too sweet for me right now, I've got candida, so I have to avoid sugars and yeast, maybe I should've mentioned that in my post (oops!:)). I heard sweet potatoes are good for sweet cravings and maybe magnesium, anyone heard of any other things that could help a former sugar addict, I don't wanna get hooked again!!! xx Thanks Print     Remind Me     Notify Moderator     Re: Sugar Cravings....       #316879 - 10/18/07 06:01 AM Edit Reply Quote Zara Reged: 06/07/06 Posts: 883 Chromium is supposed to be good when it comes to fighting cravings. I don't know if it affects IBS though. -------------------- IBS-C, bloating, cramps pregnant Print     Remind Me     Notify Moderator     Re: Sugar Cravings....       #316921 - 10/18/07 12:18 PM Edit Reply Quote nikjones1977 Reged: 10/15/07 Posts: 14 Hi Zara - ta for your response. I'm on liquid chromium, it's effective for blood sugar levels, but so far no good on the craving front....hey ho. I'm gonna battle this...they are fading, but sometimes I just wanna eat a nice chocolate bar!! thanks again Print     Remind Me     Notify Moderator     Re: Sugar Cravings....       #316925 - 10/18/07 01:05 PM Edit Reply Quote TATYANA Reged: 07/22/07 Posts: 370 Loc: Washington, Seattle I eat 70% dark chocolate with only 3 grams of sugar per serving (Trader Joes), ginger cookies and cool whip.
