Has anyone found sour hard boiled sweets for nausea

Hi all, so I'm only around 6 weeks pregnant but same as my two previous pregnancies I suffer with horrible nausea. I have cyclizine but try not to take that too often as seems to give me bad headaches and drowsiness. What does help is sour sweets yet despite looking in shops I can't seem to find any hard boiled sour sweets to suck on, only chewy type things. I know you can get sour preggie pops on Amazon but they cost a lot and you don't get many in a pack, I'll probably end up rotting my teeth out trying to find the right type 😂

Do you still get 'soor plooms'. Ate them as a child

I sucked on barley sugars to stop the nausea. They're not sour but very mildly flavoured.

Sherbet lemons?

sprite25 · 02/08/2019 18:47

Oh never heard of them, I might try the old fashioned sweet shop in town

The sour apples on here were so sour they brought tears to my eyes!

I loved sour stuff when pregnant.

Toxic Waste are quite sour and are available in most corner shops.
If you can go to a proper sweet shop there are a type of sour sweet (I can't remember the name of them now) but they were that bad they took the skin off my cheeks.

Love hearts are the only thing that worked for me. Cheaper if you buy directly from the Swizzel’s website.

I had cough candy which isn't sour but is strong tasting and seemed to help. I'm 22 weeks now and I honestly couldn't touch one if you paid me, but I ate loads of them in the first trimester.

Sherbet lemons, chocolate limes and sour jelly beans :)

I lived off pear drops in early pregnancy, they might help?

Ye Olde Sweet Shop / Mr Simms sell a huge range of sour sweets.

Sherbet lemons - you can get them in bags in most supermarkets
Things like love hearts etc can be quite sour.
I lived on Granny Smith apples, coke and lemon san pellegrino for about 17 weeks in my second pregnancy - I know the feeling!

TheSultanofPingu · 02/08/2019 20:38

Are you thinking of Acid drops Shabba?

JoyTurner · 02/08/2019 21:26

@ShabbaDo were they boiled sweets that are half pink and half blue? If so, I had the same sour obsession as you and they took the skin off my tongue Confused

ShabbaDo · 02/08/2019 21:36

Exactly them! They were absolutely lethal - even worse because one of my other cravings was salt and vinegar crisps.

The pain

JoyTurner · 02/08/2019 21:42

@ShabbaDo ouch, I can only imagine the pain!
I definitely had a love/hate relationship with the sour little buggers, but no one else shared my love for them though

ShabbaDo · 02/08/2019 21:47

Haha I remember giving one to my dad and watching his eyes pop out of his skull.
I was eating them like no one's business and he looked at me like I was a witch Grin

JoyTurner · 02/08/2019 21:54

😂😂
I keep saying go DH that I will be buying them for Halloween trick or treaters this year 😉

sprite25 · 03/08/2019 07:55

Thanks for all the suggestions, my mouth is watering just reading this 🤤 I've tried sherbet lemons which don't seem sour enough but DH said he ordered some sour patch kids sweets with the shopping but I'm guessing they'll just be jelly sweets with a sour coating but I'm willing to try anything right now, nausea hits as soon as I get out of bed in the morning 🤢

I get this! My go to have been the blueberry Candy Kittens - they’re in most big supermarkets near me but you can also buy online. Soooo fizzy.

sprite25 · 03/08/2019 14:33

Sour patch kids sweets were a failure, just jelly babies with sugar on them, not sour at all! I think I'm becoming obsessed

Toxic Waste OP - corner shop.
You can get them everywhere.
