 [ Symptoms ] i wake up with muscles not cooperating with me i really do not know what to do when this happens [ Disease ] so first i was wondering if this might have something to do with your diet because i remember this was a side effect of 1 eating olestra fat free chips and 2 some of the weight loss medications then i looked to see why this happens and the explanation was malabsorption here is an older article on olestra but it gave me lots of good information hope this helps
