Hello to all you great members,I have spent hours reading all your threads and they are all the motivation I need to continue...I'm John,60 and have lost 21kgs over 5 months,only 7kgs to go...
I found these lollies by DD in Woolies,sugar free,carbo free?,sweetened with Isomalt...are they really ok ...Once again,THANKS EVERYONE...

G'day Voodaloo,

Welcome, and well done on the 21 kg! Goodonya, mate!

The short answer is "probably." Isomalt is a sugar alcohol, which can stall some people. They can also cause nasty tummy pain and "have a laxative effect." On the other hand, many people have no problem with them.

There's a very good article on sugar alcohols in "Low Carb Tips" on the orange bar at the top of the screen. Really though, it's going to be a matter of try for yourself.

All the best!

Hi John, Ive had these lollies, and I still have no trouble lossing, everything in moderation. The fruit drops and the mint chews are my favourite!!

probably because I ate them by the hand full. Din't realise they could. They also gave me a very quick trip to the loo every few hours.
Also can give you a nucky taste in the mouth if too many eaten.
Saying that though once moderation was reached they are really a good treat!!!

rici chewi lollies, darralle chocolate bars and the dd lollies are all devine, and i can hardly tell they're low carb however if you eat these on an empty stomach be prepared for the worst pain you'll ever experience in your life. i ate 2 choc bars and half a packet of dd aswell as a packet of rici chewi lollies (i had an incredible urge for something sweet) and it felt like some one was stabing me continuously in the stomach! be careful with them

I've been buying the Ricci chews for my husband because they had the lowest carb count (less than 0.01g per lolly) and are sweetened with Splenda, but when I checked the ingredients they're full of isomalt, polydextrose and sorbitol. I've avoided buying other sf lollies because their carbs are so high but it seems that they're all filled with sugar alcohols only the Ricci Chews don't list them as part of the carb count. Is that a bit sneaky?
