Oh I know the feeling, I too have to try and avoid certain foods but it is really really hard sometimes. I think wheat is one and I know potatoes are the other (so I think starch has something to do with it) and yes it is amazing what they put into chocolate. Sometimes I say 'to heck with it' and indulge anyway - usually on a Friday evening when I can lounge around as much as I want the day after. I hope the side effects of your indulgence are short lived.

That's a shame, poor you. A woman who can't have chocolate, it must be tortuous to watch him eating them.
I have type 2 diabetes, and y daughter once bought be some Thornton's diabetic chocs for Christmas. I don't do chocolate much, but when I do, I pig it.
I dived into those like they were the last chocolates o earth.
About an hour later, I was walking round Asda doubled up with the most painful and lengthy attack of wind i've ever had. I darent let it out, it was packed in there.
I did manage to let some of it out walking to the car, which was a relief,
I think I passed wind for about a day and a half in all. Lucky me I was off work, unlucky wife, she was off work too.
I read the the ingredients list from the side of the box when I got back, The advice, (in bold letters) told me to take it easy with the contents and only have one or two at a time, as they contained a sweetener which could cause some people to suffer from an upset stomach. REALLY!

Oh that's really cruel. Maybe you should suggest he takes them to the shed to eat them..?

Hope you're feeling better now, Marit. If it's any consolation, I'm drooling too!

Me too Marit! I have to hide my chocolate in the car to stop myself from pigging it! Now where did I put those keys ...
