I think I really need to try! It will be my 2013 resolution to find out more about this and try and get my Gastro at least on our side.

MC is very much regarded a rare thing as we do not do colonoscopies here as a routine, you only get one if they suspect something is really wrong and ...

Hi there

Aww poor you the pain is horrific isn't it! Do the powders really help with the D? I might give them a go but don't want to go through those horrific bowel pains...

Hi again

On Friday I visited a nutritional therapist and chatted for about 2 hours about MC. I have lent her a copy of Tex's book for her to read to get a true picture of the condition and she is then going to help devise a diet plan for me.

I also went to see a counsellor as I am not dealing with ...

Hi everyone

Gosh the whole of the world is devastated with the shooting of those little one's and teachers! Unbelievably sad...do you think gun laws in America will ever be changed?

Thank you all so much for the help and advice it means such a lot. I know I am not a strong person and am really ...

Aww thank you Ann...lovely of you to say so!...If you google the Radar key you have to pay for it think it was £5.00 and you can order it on line. Lovely to meet you! Are there many of us from the UK?

Ooo my Just Can't wait Card has arrived! do you have the same thing? It's a card to show shops/hotels etc when you are out and tells them that you have a condition that needs the *Loo* urgently and ask's for their help.

I also have what they call a Radar key that gives you access to any disabled ...

[quote="tlras"]Oh Sally, we all can relate to everything you said! When I was on Pepto, I got my energy back and was able to do things I couldn't before. There was no way I was going to be able to exercise or get meals prepared for my family in the condition I was in. Now I can start exercising ...

Dear all

Thank you all so much for the information and help. I feel like I have been hugged by very long arms from around the world!
If anyone out there finds the real me please send her home she is missed! hahahahaha....

Lots of love

Hi there me again!

Has anyone any experience of taking Levothyroxine? I am on 100mg and I can see it contains lactose?? I have eliminated all dairy from my diet but take this on a daily basis.

Typically my Doc and my gastro have said no the lactose will not be making things worse (they REALLY do ...

Morning all from a very chilly UK
I went for an amazing massage therapy yesterday and came out feeling amazing! My bowel behaved all day and I felt like my old self then suddenly I had the most horrific pains in my bowel which lasted all evening. I took buscapan but it didnt ease off that quickly ...

Hi Tex

Your hard copy of your book arrived today and I read your forward about Sally Read, she sounded and amazing lady and clearly we have a lot to thank her for.

How sad to die so suddenly and very scary that it could have been caused by the steroids that she took.....did she ever get it under ...

Hi Tex

OMG that charge is outrageous! What ever happens to people who can't afford to pay medical insurance. We do whinge about our National Health Service here in the UK but we are very very lucky. I could have had my colonoscopy on the NHS but it would have meant about 4 weeks wait so I paid for ...
