Favourite Chocolate Bar

I need the energy.

I'm a Philistine ! Only drink coffee, but there again, I suffer from high blood pressure. Thanks Doc, I'll give it a go.

Herbal tea is supposed to be very good for your digestive system. I can't stand the stuff myself. Tiny scented parcels which you infuse in hot water. Bloody horrible taste.

I forgot all about Bar Sixes!

When I was a kid for a treat my parents used to buy me either a Walnut Whip or a Turkish Delight - still love them both after all these years.

I'll try that as well, as I also have IBS !

If you have IBS the Carol Vordermann detox diet is really good. You need to stick to it for one week.

Muesli or Shredded wheat for breakfast with Soya Milk. Or Kippers.

For lunch an Avocado Pear on Ryvita crispbread or a raw Carrot or a couple of sticks of celery..

Steamed fish or chicken for dinner with new potatoes and as much veg as you like, especially brocolli and cabbage.. If you like liver then you can have liver and onions one night of the week..

Mango or grapes for Dessert. No tea other than herbal tea and no coffee or fruit juice but you must drink one and a half litres of water per day. Tapwater is fine but you can have carbonated if you prefer the taste.

As a snack you can have Pumpkin seeds or Sunflower seeds. Plus you can eat as much fruit as you want to every day. Bananas ( Potassium ) and Oranges ( Vitamin C ) are recommended.

If you can't bear the thought of just having herbal tea or water for a week then you can cheat and have Cranberry or Pomegranate juice.

After one week your stools will be firmer than Ikea's and IBS will be a thing of the past.

Ah ! you make it sound so tempting. I shall consider it, although I think its easier just to take the pills ! Thanks for looking it up.

No takers?

One of my all-time favourites is a Topic bar

Ahh Topic! What has a Hazlenut in every bite ?............

Squirrelshit!

Beta carotene tablets are supposed to be good for IBS.

im eating a bounty right now. its fantastic.

Are you naked?

I like coconut but it binds you up. Coconut milk is delicious but too much coconut can make you constipated.

Do they still do them?

Still don't like Bounty and never could understand why people liked Crunchie bars.

Totally agree with this.

When I was 8 I was at Craig Williams birthday party playing pass-the-parcel. There was a chocolate bar or packet of sweets between each layer of wrapping.

When the music stopped on me and I took off a layer I was rewarded with a Crunchie. I'd never had one so I opened it immediately.

I was instantly sick all over Gillian Parker and Karl Hudson. I haven't touched one since.

True story.

I used to have a thing for kinder eggs when I was younger, the kinder beauno bars are gorgeous.

Due to lack of Cadbury's range over here (or shops that do sell them at over-the-top prices) I do like Bueno and also have there perenial British wafer bar KitKat (didn't realise it was created in the UK, by Rowntree, until recently - always thought it was American!)

I had a Picnic today, didn't even know they still made them.
