Question 5

could smarties and other red candies cause red in stool? daughter has eaten them within last bowel movement could that be the cause of the red?

Accepted Answer

Possibly: The only way to tell for sure is to have her stool checked for blood. Alternatively avoid red coloured candy and fluids and see if it resolves. All the best.

Question 6

will eating candy really cause a noticeable blood sugar drop a short while after intake in a healthy adult?

Accepted Answer

Generally not: If you eat a very large amount of candy, it can raise you blood sugar slightly, which your body will then attempt to return back to normal if it can. In a totally "normal" person who is not overweight, you should not notice anything whatsoever.

Question 7

sometimes i get this fizzy  feeling/sound in my throat. almost like the sound of soda fuzzing or pop rocks candy. what causes this?

Accepted Answer

Zenker's : Diverticulum is one possibility.  You're a little young, but it does happen sometimes.  Other symptoms would be dysphagia (difficulty swallowing), lump in the neck, regurgitation, cough, halitosis.  If you have any of these other symptoms, see your doctor!

Question 8

am i allergic to lemon? when i drink lemonade i feel like theres a coating around my throat. is there certain related additives in mouthwash and citrus candy that cause my tongue to feel weird or is that a different concern? thanks?

Accepted Answer

: What you are describing are not typical allergic reactions. You should see an allergist for allergy testing if you are concerned or these symptoms persist

Question 9

i brush my teeth twice a day & rinse with mouthwash. i drink soda & eat candy sometimes. will this cause white spots?

Accepted Answer

White spots: The trick is to be an effective brusher and flosser. Mouthwash is optional unless it is prescriptive and for gum disease. I suggest brushing once per day but for 5 minutes(time it) and floss. The second brushing can be a touch up. That routine has served me well; candy and soda are not the only sugars. There is the sugar you add to coffee/tea, breakfast cereals are high in sugar;speck has 9gms/cup.

Question 10

what can people eat that can cause diabetes other than candy?

Accepted Answer

Simple carbohydrates: If your body does not work to digest, like in the case of proteins or complex carbohydrates it just goes straight into stored calories or floats in your blood.  So even things like starches from potatoes, bread and corn can cause an issue.
