Food Intolerance

I have found over the past few years that food intolerance plays a big part in my condition. So it was with interest that I read this article on the Daily Mails website.

It is great to hear that people are combating the symptoms of Chrohns with no need for drugs. I know the dietary exclusion method is pretty hardcode, but it is a price worth paying if it works.



Since quiting smoking my condition has improved dramatically and I have even begun starting to introduce yeast back into my diet in small quantities. Although I still have the odd problem with serves as a reminder of my condition and has encouraged me to continue with this blog. More about that in a future post...

Like a Phoenix from the ashes

....well not quite

BUT THE BLOG IS RE-BORN!

After some encouragement from a friend I have decided to start up this blog again. As I have also discovered over the years Crohns always seems to rear it's ugly head just when you think you are getting better.

It's been a year now and I have made some good improvements, but I still have issues to deal with most days and would like to continue to share my experiences and thoughts with anyone who cares to read this little blog.

Don't expect a lot though.. Perhaps a short post each month at best...

Thanks for recommendation

Thanks to the anonymous comment poster who recommended Breaking The Vicious Cycle. I had heard of this ladies book before, but recently deleted it from my Amazon wish list. After reading the website I decided that this book sounds promising, so i will get it ordered and report back.

A recomendation of my own would be the Gut Reaction journal. I finally read it in the bath this evening, after it sat gathering dust under my bed for two months. Well worth signing up for, entertaining read, and some good advice. The wacky professor's letter and answer page is worth subscription alone - classic book plugs.

Still haven't fogiven Blogger for screwing up mu blog! BASTARDS!

They Killed my Blog!

Thanks to Blogger my blog has been bolloxed for a while now. After forcing an upgrade to the new version of their software they managed to screwed the process up and delete my template.

A new plank template has been put in place for now. I tried emailing support to see if they would reinstate my design, but they claim to have no back ups. But do not fear! Using my cunning I got a backup of the HTML source code from Google cache (what a geek!).. I then managed to loose the file (not so cunning)

Note to self: Take back up of new blog template, and remember where you saved it

Cure for Crohns?

An article in the Scotsman claims Prof John Hermon-Taylor has found a vaccine for Crohns.

Make of it what you will. I am still unsure about MAP being the cause of my condition, but I still limit my dairy intake. Not sure about one of the comments at the end of the article.

"My campaign tells everyone to boil their drinking waters as well, even if it is bottled. Water filtration does NOT kill MAP."

Cocaine Cubical Usage

This weekend I witnessed a common site whilst out on the town. All the cubicals in the pub where full of youths stuffing their noses with cocaine. Luckily I am still feeling well, but it amused me to imagine myself stuck in this scene and busting for the john. Perhaps such an experience wouldn't be so amusing if it were real.


Anyway, on the subject of toliets. As a Crohns suffer you really appreciate a good boys room. I think more should be made of good tolietory services, perhaps an idea for a website, www.plush-bogs.co.uk, to highlight the best and worst in the country.

It's all about;

Motion sensor taps and flush
Old school push button world dryer hand dryers - easy elbow action

Radom hand dryer review video on Google videos

Amazingly many serivce stations on the M1 motorway get toliet technology mix just right! Respect due
