Yes I was talking about the merrion centre...its a great litlle place...yes they do still have that tequilla thing on Ive seen flyers about with it so Im guessing its on...we tend to avoid the cheese nights...though I have been to a few and they are amusing...though I think u really have to be drunk to enjoy them! I know what you mean about the whole drinking thing...before I found heathers website last year I was just drinking as I always had with friends...then once I found out that it could be making things worse I stopped cos the pain was becoming too much and I was terrified of having a D attack whilst out on a night out...my friends keep going on at me to get drunk...they want to see what Im like cos they never actaully have...well not my friends at uni...I did drink for the 1st few month but not enough to be drunk...I do get scared about it...infact the other night I had a sip of my friends wine and Im not kidding I could feel my stomch start to turn and started to panick...its the worst possible feeling and no one understands. One of my friends is convinced that if I drink it will numb the pain...oh how I wish it wud...altho I think id be an alcoholic by now. There are certain drinks that I knew didnt bother me so much before...so long as Id taken immodium, but now Ive just become too scared to try anything. Thanks for the advice about the travelling...as Im learning spanish I really want to go to South America cos I am practically fluent now...and Ive wanted to go to Peru for so long ....cos Ive seen how desperate the orphanages out there are need of help and its just something Ive always wanted to do...even if I do have to live off bread for a month! So glad you replied...keep in touch xx

No, you are not alone. I ran out and got two, lemon and nutty chocolate or something like that. They are not for me. And packed full of artificial vitamins and things. Sorry folks. To each his own I guess. I prefer more natural things.

not upset at all- just appreciative of your honesty... both of you... I like them, but then I have the issue of great difficulty finding a) enough time to prep enough food for me, and b) finding things I can eat on 15 minute scheduled breaks in a call center, especially when sometimes I also have to run to the bathroom during those... so they work well for those times, as well as when I'm on the run like yesterday.

TOTALLY understand the convenience of them, and I would totally eat them if my life was rushed...100%. I am so happy for everyone that they have found safe snacks on the go!

I could not tell you - but I picked up about 3 or 4 flavors and they all had it. Will go back to the store and check. Think it may be common and not just in a few flavors. Anne

In Heather's Eating for IBS book, she has recipes for tea using Green Tea powder. I think it must be different than your standard Green Tea.

Well, they are tollerable, but if I were able to eat a chocolate bar, I certainly would choose the chocolate! They aren't anything special, they just give you the illusion that you are having a treat and eating chocolate...or shall I say,something like it. At first, I hated them, then I continued to eat them knowing how good they are for me and I do like them now.

Thanks for voicing your opinion. Don't feel bad about it, you are entitled.
I have only tried the Key Lime Pie bar and I don't eat them that often. My body is still adjusting to soy.
Thanks for sharing.

Actually most of them are pretty natural (as much as processed food can be). They are fortified with vitamins just like cereals and other foods. There really aren't "artificial" vitamins (although synthetic vitamins exist, ex. dl-alpha tocopherol is the synthetic version of vitamin E). I think they are pretty tasty, but I am a big protein bar eater (some can be pretty nasty). I just wish they'd lose the sexist slogan "The Whole Nutrition Bar for WOMEN"
