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.

I hope there's some progress with your mum, fc.

LIR, House of Fraser has a sale on some of its lighting lines at the moment. I'm not sure they are your style particularly, but may be worth having a look at.

I rather like this one, but it wouldn't go anywhere in my house other than the master bedroom, and that already has a light fitting in:

Apologies if anyone has already posted about this, I find it hard to keep track of who posted what.

OK, I will ...he has just finished out luxury spa bathroom upstairs too.....in preparation for The Xtreme Camping Kitchen Experience yet to come.

When you only have 'too posh to use' bathrooms will you have to start showering at the gym?!

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!

Let us know when you are near and we'll put the kettle on.

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!"

What's wrong with 'lessons'?

I like some of the glass ones but think the wires seem 'over present' some how. I cannot work out why.

Bloody awful nights sleep, but at least I'm not hungry any more. Rofl.

Well I just got the copy of the letter from the rheumatologist and all in all I'm more pleased than I have been with a medical letter for a long time.

He ends it with doctor speak for god knows what the hell we do now, but I'm thinking about it and intend to have a good prod about her person next month'.

Well that sounds better than normal then, having a feeling that they are at least going to listen to you is comforting. Bad luck on the food, all of that would drive me nuts!

Spoke to my mother tonight who is going in for her bile duct op next week and, sadly, she has now gone yellow. Kicked in 3 weeks ago.
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.

Good luck with the op.

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



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.;)

Queen's Square Bloomsbury? That has most of those, anyway! Plus a pub or two.

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.

Try this:

The milk tastes like fresh milk (which it is) and is much easier to digest.

Definitely available in Tescos and Sainsburys.
