Amy and Balance Bars

[Guest guest]

Amy,

It might have been the combination of the high carbs AND high sugar

content in Balance Bars that gave you the spell. I am 5 weeks out

and I am just beginning to experiment more and more with the protein

bars. Last week I had a Balance Bar because my daughter likes them

so I KNEW they had to be good..lol. It was, but primarily because of

the high carb and sugar content (compared to low carb bars).

The first 2-3 weeks I had a hard time with protein too but tried my

best and yes eventually it got better (that and a script for

compazine helped BIG TIME). I did pureed soups (pea or lentil), soft

cheeses (although I think I am developing an intolerance to lactose

now), soft fish (tuna, salmon) all in small portions. Also at 2wks

hydration is most important and that could have something to do with

your body's reaction too.

Personally I am going to try these Luna Bars everyone is raving

about. I sure hope they are better than the rest. Good luck!
