Help!!!!!!!!!!
Ok, I know this my sound crazy but I am desperate and I'm trying really hard to hold back the tears. (darn pregnancy hormones)
Ok! Long explaination, but here goes...
I have to take my gestational diabetes test within the next 7 days. The problem is, I'm allergic to the gloucose drink that you have to take first. My dr. gave me the option of eating 28 Brachs jellybeans instead. She said that "THEY HAVE TO BE BRACHS". I can't eat Jelly Belly or any other brand because the levels are not the same. I have driven all over town looking for BRACHS and I can't find them anywhere.
I called the dr and she told me the only other option is to drink the drink. Last time, I was out of work for two days in the hospital and had to be on steriods for a week. 
I refuse to go through that again. I've called every candy store I can think of and even Publix, who carries all the bag-yourself BRACHS candy doesn't have jellybeans. (At least the ones that I have visited.) I plan on spending all day Saturday driving all over the entire state if I have to looking. 
Has anyone seen or know where I can get these stupid jelly beans?????
TIA, pregnant and desperate.
Re: Help!!!!!!!!!!
Oh NO!
The only thing I can think of if ordering them. You might have to pay an arm and a leg for the shipping..but it's better then being in the hospital! Have you tried a candy store??

You have seven days, so you should be able to order them online. Yes, the shipping might cost you a little more, but I don't think it will be crazy.
There are several stores you can order from . . . just google brachs jellybeans and you'll come up with several places.
There are also other people who had the same difficulties you did. They tried calling the company and see whom they ship to locally. (They should know who has them locally.)
Good luck!
If you want to order them online I found these sites....
http://www.hometowncandy.com/brachs-jelly-beans.htm
http://www.ebulkcandy.com/sys-tmpl/easterpreorders/
There were other sites, too, but they made you buy them in bulk! (21 pounds of jelly beans, anyone??? lol)
Good luck!
Can I ask how it is possible to be allergic to the glucose drink?....It is just glucose(which your brain needs for survival) and some artificial flavors and colors similar to orange soda.
Did you happen to check Walgreens?
I have no idea. All I know is after I drink it, I break out in horrible hives all over my body and my throat swells. My feet hurt to walk on and I can't bend my fingers to use my hands. It's horrible.
I'm even more afraid of failing this test and have to eat twice as many jellybeans for the second test.
