this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

The Puff bars have sorbitol in them and that can cause GI problems for some people. It has for me.

I double checked the coconut and brownie batter Puff bars (those are the ones we have in the kitchen right now), and they only have sugar. I always check for sorbitol (and other sugar alcohols) and artificial sweeteners, because they don't agree with my gastrointestinal system. There are a lot of Puff bar flavors, though, so maybe some others have sorbitol. Or maybe they've changed their ingredients to get rid of it?

But if it doesn't the Barebell bars are really good

The Barebell bars have maltitol in them -- is that easier on your GI system than sorbitol? They also have sucralose, which tastes horrible to me.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

Facebook keeps popping up these savory protein bars and I am intrigued. [link]

I'm happy to report Mom's surgery went well and she's recovering nicely.

Those flavors sound yummy!

Great news, Matt! I hope her recovery is quick and uneventful.

Steph it might depend on the Puff .I just looked online and the back of a package

The Barebell went right through me in a bad way. Luckily I was at work and not somewhere without access to a restroom.

I got more tests results back. I didn't know all the tests run . All around the Von Willebrand Factor. And they were high. The Factor 8 activity was high too. So I assume I'll be hearing from my doctor about this.

I'm trying not to stress about the results and just get ready for my vacation and enjoy that

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

I am back from Frankfurt and jet-lagged to hell and back. I did get upgraded to Comfort+ again for the way back and had a row almost all to myself, which made the 8 hour flight more tolerable than it otherwise would have been. (I never get upgraded on the NY-Seattle trips, because those flights are always full.)

I hope the next time I go to Europe I get to see more than the inside of a hotel conference room.

Over two and a half days, I was told by two cab drivers, a tour bus director, and a hotel concierge "Your name is German, did you know?" (Yes, in fact I did know that. Well actually it's my husband's name but almost all of my grandparents' names are German too.)

Back to work I guess. Sigh.
