    hi, i've a friend who's child is allergic to sugar and he's trying to track down some of these bars. he has ordered them from england before but the postage is very high. Does anyone know if they are available in ireland or if there is anyone who can post them to ireland at a resonable price.

    thanks

    You can buy them in Boots without any problem. Any of the bigger stores have them.

    However, I suspect that the child is not actually allergic to sugar, as it's an incredibly rare allergy. Much more likely the child reacts badly to eating sugar or things with a high gi (I've got one like that. A sugary sweet and you'd swear she'd downed a couple of beers). If so, the Atkins bars may not be a huge help, as they contain various forms of fake sugar which are likely to cause the same sort of problems, plus a tummy upset, smelly farts and the runs.

    What form does the allergy take, and what exactly causes it? Just about anything with simple carbs breaks down into glucose (sugar) even if it doesn't taste sweet.
