Canada Ana try looking at Walmart. I'm sure I've seen them at the cashes when I was checking out but didn't really know what they were.I think I'll check it out and pick some up! Everyone seems to rave about them!!

I like the peppermint and cinnamon altoids but not the ginger. I found "ginger chews" in the bulk foods section of Central Market(in Houston, TX), they taste much better. I bet they carry them in Whole Foods too. Print     Remind Me     Notify Moderator     Thanks! I'll check out Wal-Mart...       #74725 - 05/30/04 05:51 AM Edit Reply Quote Ana Maria Reged: 03/24/04 Posts: 171 I found some ginger snaps (cookies) that don't have dairy / eggs and they're yummy so maybe those would work a bit like the Altoids - though I doubt they have as much ginger in them......!

Zesty. and not as "curiously strong" as the Altoids, so maybe some people who object to the strength of those might link the Gin-Gins. they're like little hard candies. cheap, too! mmm...... yummy..... -------------------- Print     Remind Me     Notify Moderator     FOUND THE GINGER ALTOIDS :)       #74765 - 05/30/04 12:15 PM Edit Reply Quote ibsgrl Reged: 04/18/04 Posts: 1060 Loc: Canada But here they aren't so cheap Print     Remind Me     Notify Moderator     Re: Ginger Altoids are NOT awful....       #74802 - 05/30/04 04:30 PM Edit Reply Quote nurturingkneads Reged: 04/01/03 Posts: 370 Loc: NC,USA I thought about cutting them and swallowing them, that way I wont have to drink the tea or taste the altoids....maybe you could try that if ya dont like the taste -------------------- Gretchen Print     Remind Me     Notify Moderator     I agree with RAchel       #74818 - 05/30/04 06:35 PM Edit Reply Quote BL Reged: 06/01/03 Posts: 3522 Don't know why everyone's so worried about finding these things.

I actually found mine in a little chocolate store in Kensington Market (Toronto)! I'm still yet to see them in the US. I have to agree that they're not so great... a wee bit TOO strong for me. But I bet they'd be good at settling the tummy. -------------------- "Anyone can exercise, but this kind of lethargy takes real discipline." -Garfield Print     Remind Me     Notify Moderator     Gerry...       #74832 - 05/30/04 07:56 PM Edit Reply Quote ibsgrl Reged: 04/18/04 Posts: 1060 Loc: Canada Well Altoids are strong mints that are made in the UK but available in North America. The ginger ones are supposedly helpful for our IBS because they help with cramps, nausea and indigestion. Here is the page about ginger: GINGER Also here are pictures of the altoids!

Would I like them if I did not have IBS? Probably not. I first tried the Ginger Altoids when I had company & we were going through Culpepper, VA & stopped at McDonalds. I had a Egg McMuffin without the yolk & immediately felt an upset stomach. My sister wanted to stop for a Diet Coke, so we stopped at 7-ll. I usually always carry something in my purse, but that day I switched purses, & didn't have anything. The 7-11 carried Ginger Altoids, so I thought I would try them. The Ginger Altoids worked for me. The Peppermint are just too strong for me. My sisters thought I was nuts, but I am of the whatever works for you works. Ginger Altoids work for me. I buy them from a store here in Alexandri, VA called the World Market. -------------------- Daisy "Sometimes you are the Windshield, sometimes you are the bug".

Not sure what "Swedish style" is but it's goooood! I got them in the "health food section" of Dominion - a local grocery store. They're distributed by "American Natural Snacks" in St. Augustine Florida. They're really good - quite hard as most ginger snaps are. There's another kind made by "Sasha Bread" but they have eggs in them - I had those before I discovered this site and Heather's diet.... Hope you find them where you are! Oh - they're kind of pricey....but worth it!

Have to say, I wasnt prepared for the "bite" they have to them-maybe I just got used to the peppermint ones, but it was burning my mouth a little bit. But ginger is supposed to be good for the tummy, so I'll take it. They're a bit like the cinnamon ones, and since I used to like a little bit of hot stuff, I like these. But I know they arent for everyone. Some people really dont like the taste of ginger at all. But just to let anyone else know, they are a bit hot, so dont get surprised by that.
