Fortunately fibre one bars taste nice, are not a lot of calories and have 5g in each one - so they really help! I have tried to get into a 'routine' but my body just won't do it! GI said he had detected muscle weakness - but thats not his department! I can't go all at once either - sometimes I have 3 or 4 trips before I am 'empty'. I have got ongoing back issues as well - and I don't think that helps! Glad the yellow stuff is nothing - didn't think it was anything to worry about!
