[The empressof all]

1. I think most Protein kinds of bars with Peanut Butter are suspect

I was looking at some yesterday and decided not to buy any with peanuts. Interestingly enough most of these kinds of products are made in factories that have used peanuts or even have peanut dust left on the processing machinery. That's why they have to label as such for those with peanut allergies. I know that they are now pulling a number of products with Peanuts in them. I wonder if this is going to go much further to impact products produced in factories that used peanut products.

Not Good.

2. On the other hand, continuous vomiting and diarrhea, while not

recommended, is one way to lose weight!

3. ewww so true

My husband is very ill at the moment. C-Diff infection on top of Ulcerative Colitis major flare up, has lost over 25lbs since November. Diarrhea is no way to 'go'

5. The last time I lost a lot of weight

was because I had a UTI (never had one before, so I didn't know what it felt like).

I lost about 40 libs over about 3 months because I upchucked everything I took in.

Sorry your hubby is so sick. It's really not fun.

Costco had a huge (almost 80 servings! :yoiks: ) bag of EAS whey protein powder on sale. I bought that and have a protein shake most evenings.
