I have just been introduced to Gizoogle.

OH works for a charity and someone showed him how their website could be translated for some sectors of da yoof.

I tried their example effect on a news story about the royals....

She finally got to see a great guy at Kings who diagnosed Crohns and she must have had it for years but her GP just dismissed all her symptoms. Hopefully, the stent will sort out the duct and her digestion will work again but if it doesn't, then I guess it's the beginning of the end as her weight loss is accelerating now.

Her MRI scans showed up all her organs as 100% healthy except for this bile duct and she really thought she had cancer.

fc can't the crohns be treated? It is something borne amongst a couple my maternal female relatives.

Hope there is a better outcome for you all.

I asked that but they are doing the bile duct before anything else so she hasn't been given any drugs for the Crohns at all (if there are any) . In fact, they don't even do a diet sheet but she had already worked out what foods to exclude as they made her feel so ill.

I also bought her 2 books on it too ....as you do.;)

The problem now is her digestion is grinding to a halt and she has now got near to zero energy, feels nauseous all the time and has severe pain behind the ribs (the liver)

Forgot to say, the liver problem is Primary, Sclerosing Colangitus.

Since Tuesday I learned I cannot eat at least one of the following to good result...coffee, almond milk, oranges, bananas. I have now decided ( having been woken up by the cat after falling asleep early) I am hungry and my choice of low effort food is coffee. Almond milk, orange or a banana...lol...( I know veg and wheat will make me makes me swell so don't want to try any thing else)




I'd like to find something we know is safe that isn't cold like a glass of water. I usually have a herbal tea but I'm struggling with the ones I have ATM ( will buy a different one next shop). Used to have a glass of skimmed milk at times like this....cold but ' food' or warm milk with cardomon. Now that's off the list. I do have lactase but it doesn't work.

At least I am saved the effort of going downstairs late at night, huh? Or going to bed on a full stomach and having crazy dreams.



So I'm trying to fall back to sleep with a rumbling stomach.

Did they advise you on the meal substitutes afterall? Like a Complan or protein shake? If you could find the right one, they may work better?

I hope it goes well. I'm impressed she worked it all out.

That's sounding good lir! Hope all goes smoothly from here.

On the radio today they invited callers to phone in if they'd had many/no house moves in their lifetime. They got an email from a woman in Cardiff who said she'd inherited a house from her mother and it had a tenant in it. The tenant had just moved out, to go into a care home...... the tenant's mother had rented the house originally from the LL's grandfather, 84 years ago.

I recetly worked in a square in London where there was a hospital, primary school, secondary school, college, residential flats/houses galore and even a graveyard. I wondered more than once whether someone might live out their life there in a Truman Show-like life where they never quite get round to leaving.;)

Not yet. I was meant to see a dietician but bupa baulked, and go messed it up by saying he 'd refer me to community dietician. I cancelled my dietician, but now she has said because I'm interesting she'll see me for free (or the hospital admin fee anyway) so will do that next month now.

The complication is that I am 'intolerant' to so much it now seems ( which might be why I never picked any think up from exclusion diets.

I can eat lamb. :rotfl: and have managed some hm lamb and even chicken kebabs, but other days cannot manage salad or pita. I ate the pulled pork when we went out and was ok, and I ate some coleslaw and some green salad, ....fine, I also had those fruity non alcoholic cocktails(with ice:D).....so lots of things I might normally have problems with. ( I ate the chips but didn't risk the brioche bun in came in). Some weird things happen.....my body seems to be a snob, I cope ok with steak, top roast of beef, stuff like that, but mince was bad.....really dread ful. But its all...'beef'. Might be I couldn't tolerate fat or something.

Meal replacements are going to be tricky because I think many contain something I shouldn't have ....

I'm supplementing with pills, but not even got a complete profile for that yet. But I was taking the wrong supplements first time, they had something in them, not milk, cannot remember what. Some of my medicines had to change too...that was lactose.

A member of our church is probably approaching 90. He's lived in the same terraced house for all of his life - with his sister, who sadly died a few years ago.

On a separate theme, I'm off down to that there Hertfordshire tomorrow, to visit parents. My brother and his family are coming across from Belgium on a whistle-stop tour of my brother's friends and family, and I shall get to meet my 5-month old niece for the first time!

Ah another Belgian-connected NP!

I can't and therefore never do talk like the young people I teach. I took DS to visit a local school which has a sixth form tonight (and very good it was too I must say). We saw the sixth form common room and he asked what it was for and I said it was somewhere to chillout between lessons. He gave me a withering look and, shaking his head, said "Dad. don't ever use that word again!"

This may be tenuous, but our friend was in Poirot last night. :rotfl:

All good thoughts for your mum, fc.

And good luck, chewy, with your offer.

Cousin, we think judging by the size and strange angle, may have broken or dislocated his ankle in the back garden. He managed to crawl in and attract our attention. DH has taken him to hospital but went out like a zombie - he was up at 4:30 this morning, came in after 9 and went straight to bed only to be woken again at 10:30. I did offer to go, but he feels responsible for everyone, so they've gone.
