Hall's does have sugar free. 5 calories and 0 carbs per drop, but not much.
Luden's has a SF Wild Cherry that my brother eats like candy.. but they have 3 carbs per each... I hope you get feeling better fast. (I'd hug you but I don't want to get sick)

KP, yes , Im Andee LOL .. Dboza, my store near by didnt have the sugar free so I grabbed those halls defense and ran out like a bat outta hell to avoid the gummy bears that were trying to jump in my cart. (shrug). :) Sadly I had to settle.

My store runs out, too, so when I see them I grab a bag or two. I won't be getting the Luden's anymore, tho. So I thank you for posting. It made me look up the nutrition.. Dang, the Luden's are really good.

Carbs aren't completely evil. That cough drop will help you. Worry about bad carbs, and food portions, and other blood sugar evils. You will be fine, don't freak out on the small stuff. Make good choices and portion awareness, and have an avocado. lol

Think about it this way: You aren't going to be sick for the next month -- just for a few days. Do what you need to do to get better, and don't worry so much about the carbs. Be grateful you can even use the sugar free versions -- my IBS diet prohibits almost all artificial sweeteners, so if I need cough drops, I just use the regular ones judiciously and try to get better very quickly. Good luck.

Just watch the SF cough drop side effects, you eat 4 or 5 of those little buggers and a sore throat will be the LEAST of your problems

Amen! The medicine industry sucks for adding sugar to everything. I'm on a search for diabetic medicinals for the next time I get sick.

It sucks when you're sick! I'm sucking up my cold and I'm going to starve it today! I took an ibuprofen for pain, I'm out of cold meds but I'm feeling too lazy to get some. I hope you feel better soon, the carbs in cold medicine shouldn't be too high, or are they?

debrafrederick -- this is my point. 5-6 sugar free anything and my IBS kicks in and now I've got a sore throat AND the runs. Redgirl -- try hot tea with lemon so you don't have to use so many cough drops. The lemon actually lowers your blood sugar -- maybe that will compensate for a few carbs in cough drops.

Red you are doing great and yes being sick sucks especially when you cannot even suck on a cough drop. You own this, you will get better.

Recently having had the choice between carbs & artificial colors/flavors/sweeteners, I chose carbs. Weird right? They've got honey and sucrose in them. I wasn't eating them but my throat needed the relief. It's the worse of two evils. Carbs have their place and that place is least, few & in frequent. :D
