Me again, all calm down below, went off to Germany for a week, ate and drank relatively carefully, no problems apart from a little niggle now and again, back on Saturday and yesterday afternoon worst diarrhea ever, the kind that means you are glued to the loo trying to work out how to reach the sink at the same time as the pains are so bad you think you might be sick. TMI I know but you get the picture LOL. Today still a bit delicate. I cannot for the life of me work out what caused it, there are two thoughts 1) the milk in Germany is long life so did not have a lot 2) I did not take my usual supplements, magnesium, zinc, vit C, pro-biotics. Yesterday I had porridge for breakfast, a cappuccino and an apple mid morning. I am wondering whether it could be milk related or could supplements be making my Divi worse. Any thoughts greatly appreciated.

I would also consider what you were eating before you went away as whilst it seems endless trying to figure out what causes the flare up it seems like.the niggling pain was the warning before you went away so it probably wasn't what you ate in Germany. Probably good to avoid Apple peel as that's a no no for me. I was eating loads of blueberries this summer and have just had the worst attack ever so I put that down to eating them. Take plenty of rest as well as a doctor just recently told me that during the flare up the infection is like an ulcer on the colon so when you are moving around it doesn't get chance to heal which does make sense. My pains always start on the left hand side and generally get worse but paracetamol does help as well. I also find that any supplements results in pain so avoid any vitamin tabletst but thankfully only get the diarrhoea for a day and no sickness"
This site is wonderful for advice and support and was a real help during the last 6weeks off work (and happy to say just starting to feel normal again) so there are others that can help and support you.
