I think they are going to be a huge help to me!! The taste is a bit odd, but it's not bad. The stomach help is worth it. Found at a local Target store. Just wanted to let others know.

It says on the box that it only contains basically flavoring and sugar. It doesn't say anything about having actual "giner" in it. Does it matter??
Thanks, Michelle

I bought boxes of them a long time ago. They don't make a tangible difference, but it is better to suck on them or peppermint altoids than something else. Ginger helps with nausea. Ginger candy like Gin gins would be more effective.

"You absolutely must eat insoluble fiber foods, and as much as safely possible, but within the IBS dietary guidelines. Treat insoluble fiber foods with suitable caution, and you'll be able to enjoy a wide variety of them, in very healthy quantities, without problem." Please eat IF foods!

Thanks so much! I have looked all over for these damn things, ever since Heather told us about them 3 years ago! I have never found them.
Target, eh? Okay, I'm on my way!
Thanks again!

With what symptoms? I don't have nausea so maybe I don't need them. I do eat Ginger Chews by the ginger People...get those at Trader Joes too. I just wish they helped me poop!
