bex xx🙂
 
nevermind..
 
frankly...anytime i post anything i get ignored ... obviously not part of the click , over the last few months have been made to feel very unwelcome
and i will not be returning.... thanks for the support *insert sacasm*
 
Sorry you're feeling neglected :(

I don't think anyone intentionally doesn't reply. There are just so many posts! For something specific such as this carb count query, there are probably few people with the information to hand. I've also noticed that it can take a good few hours for replies to start coming in, as most of us just pop in once or twice a day, often less often than this.

Anyway, big hugs to you hun. Please don't go - your input is invaluable & you really would be missed.
 
Bex, hope your blood sugar is ok. Please don't be upset by the lack of response, people can not be on here 247, and may not know the answer.
 
Bex so sorry i missed this i was offline it was what i had for my brekkie this morning also, it may be to late but the carbs content as follows...

per 100=carbs 68.7g (of which sugar 23g)

I have just pmmed you hope you come back on to read it hun xxx
 
Bex, I hope you understand - you gave me 25 mins to find the answer. I eat almond and honey oat so simple and was going to post this but thought for some reason golden syrup was a bit higher as my dietician told me not to have that one - stick to cinammon if i could. I was in the process of finding out for you as I have just nipped to Tesco. Sorry I didn't realise you needed the info immediately. We don't always have time to respond straight away especially when we need to source the answer. I did find out the carbs per 36g was 32.8 of which sugars 16.4g. I now think I may have wasted my time. Hope you feel better soon. I apologise I didn't let you know i was looking into it - maybe that would have helped - but extremely busy today.

Whoa! I'm sorry bex123, I didn't realise that you were feeling so ignored. Hence my somewhat flippant response. 😱

I just assumed that you'd found the information that you'd needed otherwise I would have looked it up for you.

Please remember that this kind of communication does not allow for feelings to be so obvious and I apologise for not reading yours correctly. I also hadn't seen your thread until your second post, so I was hardly ignoring you anyway.

Hiya Bex..

Hopefully you will come back when you see your email with responses to your post. I know I'm a bit late on the uptake but I think the normal flavour has 2 and a half lines WITH milk. Honey flavour I'm not too sure. Check the site of the makers as well. A lot of firms list nutrition values online these days.

Hopefully (with the best of intentions) you were just having one of those days today and tomorow brings you back.

All the best!
 
I would think most people were busy christmas shopping Bex - I dont think anyone would deliberately ignore you - I hope you dont leave the forum. If you look at some posts there could be fifty people read it - but only one person answered it - its not a reflection of whether you fit in or not - there arent any clicks on here - well - at least not that I know of - so please dont feel that there is - this forum is for everyone and you are entitled to post whatever and whenever you like.🙂Bev
 
Not sure if the other super markets do this but if you go to sainsburys online shopping and you go to the product they do give the nutrition information this is the way i find out.
 
oh but there is a click here... and im the only poor fool who will speak up about it!.... if you review my posts bar 1 or 2 they nearly all get no responce or just one from alan or yourself... do not patronise me ...i am well aware there is a click (like the fact you said click though...hits the nail on the head!) im no fool and im not a child , if this puts peoples backs up then so be it...but my point is to make the click aware of the rest of us who are only here to also give and recive support... but we are made to feel alianated and unwanted...very unwanted....i wonder sometimes if the click realise how hurtfull it is to be out right ignored by an internet forum..... oh but now your all talking to me ofcourse , this post thismorning was a prime example.... i sat here for an hour and watched the popular peoples posts be comented on over an over and my post move further and further down the page.....
i certainly dont want to appear harsh or agressive but the point needs to made and adressed properly. i will also assume that after this post i will not be welcome here any more... yes that is how i feel ! not that i felt welcome here at all in the last couple of months anyway , was just kind of hoping i was being over sensitive...but no i think my concerns are correct
so im signing off , have a good/healthy life every one
 
I'm really sorry you feel this way Bex :( I have no control over whose posts get responses. It's a large community with a very broad range of age and experience, many of whom may be looking for different things to others. I think it's fairly inevitable, as in other aspects of life, for some people to respond to some posts rather than others depending on whether they feel they can offer or add anything or not. I'm sorry if you feel that people are ignoring you. You have really improved things since you first came here a year ago, and I hope that the forum has helped you achieve that in some small way.
 
Hi Bex,
I really am sorry that you feel this way - I am certain that no-one dislikes you or wants you to feel ignored in any way. Do reconsider remaining a member of the forum - you are what makes the forum and if there is a click then I am not aware of it and would never want anyone to feel left out or hurt. No-one is any more important or popular than anyone else. I personally have posted many threads that have not been answered and I just feel that sometimes people are too busy or have more pressing problems themselves. It would be a shame if you did leave - but if you do decide to go - then I wish you and yours all the best.🙂Bev x
 
Bex im sad you feel this way hun, i have always posted replies to you especially in off the subject part of the forum, i hate the fact someone feels alienated the way you say you are hun xx please dont leave the forum even if you dont feel this way at the moment they has been times when this forum has done you good and helped you.

Bex, I know how you feel, a post of mine last week only had one response from good old northener and quickly dropped down the page. I was a bit hacked off for a while. Please don't leave the forum though, it is far too helpful. There will be all sort of reasons why people did not respond.
 
Bex... if you need a rabbit about anything please do pm me. I see your point but I think "most" people on here qre genuine enough. I'm just a bit lazy and takes me 10 times if reading a post before I get to thinking about it.

Take care our kid.
 
Generally I have to skim read posts as often I am working at the same time or rushing around. Yesterday I did some research on your question in Tesco to get back to you. I don't answer all your posts as many folk don't answer mine. Sometimes a forum post catches your eye and even though you have little time, then you answer it but probably don't get around to responding. I posed on the pancreatic surgery post the other day - something quite big to me at the moment, but my post wasn't acknowledged. It didn't bother me because just reading the other responses was enough and the original poster was getting the responses they needed. Sometimes it is so easy to think there is a click in all sorts of life, when in fact there isn't - sometimes its people misreading rather than talking it out. The forum doesn't give the option to talk things out face to face but I am certain there is no click. There are folk who have become friends through the forum and probably post on each others post, but that doesn't make it a click - the same way as some people pm each other and not others - it is their right.

I was wondering yesterday if you may have been having problems with sugars but it seems you really are convinced there is a click. Surely the fact that so many people on here have responded to this thread - even when it isn't too nice - should tell you something. I for one did respond and went out of my way to help but as I say I couldn't respond in the 25 mins you gave us. I feel a bit hurt too Bex about this, but hope you do stay on the forum - it helps everyone.
 
If you're still reading then hello Bex, I would think that you would always be welcome here?

I think you are right that there is a clique or click here, there generally always is to a greater or lesser extent and some times it can be fine sometimes it can make people feel more outsiders than they actually are?

I think when you need a quick answer it generally doesn't happen, and I would suggest you would post it in the main message board as some don't read outside of the main board! I sometimes wonder when I get few responses, and even when I have left a reply maybe a bit late on in a discussion and then there are no more replies, have I killed the convo!? Probably just done it there!

Hope you are okay.

Take care

Rossi 🙂
