So i see alot of people use milky coffee, as a way to extra goodness from, im just reminding people of horlicks and ovaltine tooo as these are packed full of goodness and could help xx

 

[StephieAck]

They also tend to be packed with sugar and arent suitable for a good many bypassers.

Some bypassers WILL be able to have it if they arent too sensitive to sugars.

You can get these in the light varieties too.

 

[dawny]

i can drink the light horlicks and ovaltine, not tried the ordinary ones though.

 

[StephieAck]

Where will I find low sugar/light ones guys? I would love to widen my drinking to involve these.

Hi Steph... I get them from ASDA.. low fat horlicks is lovely... a great drink and as a diabetic.... I find it is alright... love and hugs xxx

 

[StephieAck]

After reading the two below things I am still going to give them both a miss, Ovaltine has 9 something sugar in it per portion and Horlicks has 15.8...I would dump like a truck!! Damn damn damn, will have to stick to my latte.

Horlicks Light

Calories 115kcal (6%), Sugars 15.8g (18%), Fat 0.8g (1%), Saturates 0.5g (2%), Salt 0.5g (8%). (of an adult's guideline amount).

That is interesting... I must be having less sugar in everything since I regularly have a small nightcap of horlicks.... I know it's different to the post op dumping... but as a diabetic... so far it hasn't impaired my blood levels...

Interesting to debate and look into this...

Thanks a million dear friends xxx
