SF Creme Savers

I dont eat candy anymore but I do recall you can subtract the sugar
alcohols from the carb count on these kinds of things.

My wife bought me these little sugar free hard candies. Chocolate &
caramel creme flavor. They are sooooo delicious that I was supspicious. I
look on the back and see that they have 13 carbs! It's all sugar alcohol,
but still seems way way too high for such a small candy. It took me 2 weeks
of avoiding them to go back and read that the serving size is 5 pieces! For
2 1/2 carbs each I recommend them highly.

If the particular sugar alcohol is isomalt, that's the one that goes to
war with my stomach. I remember something about how the label on some
hard candies or cough drops said "excessive consumption may have a
laxative effect" and it turned out that for me, excessive consumption =
one piece of candy. So if you end up with stomach distress, consider
those candies your primary suspect. Just a heads up.

I don't usually have much of a problem with the SF candies, but I can
tell you...one go around with those SF Creme Savers was enough for a
lifetime. :-)

If you recommend them, please tell us what they are.
You didn't give a product name. Nor did you say where we could buy them.

It's in the subject "SF Creme Savers". :-)

They're made by Life Savers. You'll probably recognize them:
http://tinyurl.com/g2m7f

They sell them pretty much anywhere they sell bagged candy: grocery
stores, drug stores, convenience stores and the like. Isomalt causes
me no problem, but in this thread a couple of people said it causes
them stomach misery so YMMV as usual.

That's too bad. One med I take gives me cottonmouth and those and the
SF Pep-o-Mint LifeSavers help a great deal. My sugar alcohol
kryptonite is lactitol. Isomalt doesn't even cause gas for me, while
lactitol made me feel like there were knives trying to slice their way
out of my stomach. The sugar alcohols are highly variable in their
effect on each individual, aren't they. I'm surprised to find isomalt
causes some of you problems. I was wandering around thinking it was
benign for all. Oops.

I got some Thinnie Tinnie Myntz in the grocery store checkout lane (don't
remember which store though). They have sorbitol and a very strong flavor
so a couple go a long way toward putting a nice taste in the mouth.

Just Googled them and drugstore.com has them for sale so drugstores might
well have them, they are labeled breath mints and drugstore.com has three
flavors.

Ah, I recognize them now. Didn't recognize the "Thinnie Tinnie" part.
:-) Thanks. I've had the vanilla sort and enjoyed them. The green
tea with ginseng sound interesting. I always have mints and gum in my
purse because of the dry mouth problem, and have tried a lot of
different mints. So far the LifeSavers Pep-o-Mints are the winners.
The SF type are nice and strong.

They also have them in some of the dollar stores. A package (which lasts me
forever, I only eat one every few days) for a buck is a good deal 🙂.

CREME SAVERS..... sugar free by Lifesavers. In the thread title. WOW I'm
amazed at how the different sweetners affect some of you so strongly. My
wife can't handle the smallest amount of any of them, with Maltitol the
worst, where I am rarely affected at all. The key as in most things, is
moderation. Try one of these little beauties, they are amazing!

Aren't sugar alcohol numbers subtracted to get net carbs? If it is all
sugar alcohol - then the net carb would be close to 0???

In the subject line - it says SF Creme Savers - that is more than likely the
product name.

Correct but I was counting all the real carbs anyway to figure out where
they were all coming from.
