yes i tried the dark choc almond milk and loooved it..but i started looking at the sugar content and it just seems so unhealthy...i can't remember if it caused me any issues though..i stopped buying it b/c i was worried about so much sugar... ..i just want something healthy and good for me that will add some lbs...i've yet to figure out what that might be!

I used to be an extremely healthy eater and have had to completely revamp my diet. I have yet to find a way to pack on pounds while eating under the IBS and FM guidelines, without eating a little unhealthy. It's certainly possible, but it sure is difficult....and time consuming. I'm still searching for quick, healthy alternatives to grab when I don't have time to cook 5+ meals in a day. In the meantime, I'm eating super healthy for like 2/3rds of my calories and then eating/drinking the following:

Silk Choc Soy Milk
Baked Lays/Ruffles (only brand I seem to do ok with)
Guacamole or Hummus w/ Baked Tostitos
Blueberry Muffins/Banana Bread

I'm trying hard to replace the above, high calorie items with healthy alternatives that are quick to grab. So far, I'm still searching. At least this seems to work in the meantime and might provide some alternatives for you. If I can be decently healthy, feel moderately okay, and pack on the pounds, I'm ok with that for a while.

Of course, as you can see in this thread, I'm doing great for many of the weeks, and then seem to lose all of my gains rather quickly while traveling and eating really bad food.
