Yes and no...

An old favorite was rice crispy squares made with peanut butter instead of marshmellows...(honey and peanut butter or marshmellow & P&B both work great but you can use any nut butters)

Any puffed whole grains (try the health food store for those or a bulk barn) mixed with P&B or nut butters...Throw some sesame seeds or other grains on for the crunch...you can make them into little balls and drizzle dark chocolat onto them too.

Chocolat fondue works wonders but if you want some pre-prepared snacks then banana slices dipped into dark chocolate and then frozen.

My other favorites are anything made with apples, apple sauce, cinnamon (anti-inflamatory), raisins for sweetness and oatmeal...All cooked together in the microwave for rapidity.

I have a terrible sweet tooth and when I want sugar I want it Now!

So usually I melt a couple of tsp of sugar in a non-stick pan, one it starts to caramelize and is all melted I add a tsp or 2 of cream and a few grains of salt...let cook about a minute...stir well and cool...instant salty caramel!

I make it in very small bunches or I will eat it all.

I also do nut brittles in a pinch...just melt the sugar until golden (about 5 minutes over med heat in a non-stick pan) and throw a handful of nuts or coconut or sesame seeds or anything else in, slosh around carefully to cover, pour onto a sheet of wax paper or parchement paper and  then cool quickly in the fridge or let cool naturally on the counter...it packs a high satisfaction ratio and if you use more nuts than sugar you get more protein than carbs...

You can also make it in quantity and save to spinkle over plain yoghurt or on ice cream....

Hope that some of these tickle your fancy

My favorite snack is Sabra's roasted pepper hummus, with almond nut-thin crackers (the cheddar cheese variety, but your choice!).  Yes, hummus causes gas, but in my experience, the gas pushes all the poo out and I'm USUALLY good for hours afterwards.  Just be sure to time your intake of the hummus so the gas is out of you prior to bedtime, and start slowly.

I struggled with this to start with, but settled on a few favourites.

Stewed apples with cinnamon (no added sugar)

Banana

Plain yoghurt

Spoon of peanut butter (quality brand with no added sugar or fillers)

Muesli bar e.g. www.carmanskitchen.com.au/our-...amp;-Nut-Muesli-Bars (although check the label - some muesli bars make use of the "health halo" and are high in sugar and fat) 

Dry biscuits (aka crackers) with cream cheese

It depends on your tastes, but any of the following are go tos for me: applesauce (unsweetened) a small slice of cheese or a cheese stick, rice crackers and hummus, a few peanut butter crackers, greek yogurt, light cottage cheese, etc.

If you are trying to avoid running to the bathroom, be wary of those "low fat snacks" that are easy to grab, like pre-packaged cereal bars or the so-called breakfast bar. You might think you're doing yourself a favour since they are low in calories, but they tend to be full of sugar and that will not help your bathroom trips. 

Bananas are another snack that many people jump to and may be good for you especially if you are trying to slow your frequency, however I've found that bananas are actually TOO good at thickening me up, so more recently I've been avoiding them.
