    I have cut out the berries too.  better safe with a painfree butt than sorry with a clinching one.  I am having another "lovely" flare up and it seems the anti's make it feel worst... Never seems like I can reguate this darn affliction! I have no idea what caused it.  Been eating all the normal things..guess it's time to start weeding out something else....

      Likewise sunni, I have no idea what set it off ,but as it was an abscess ,maybe it had been set off days or weeks before. Do you drink ?

      anything, or nothing?

      I was staying with my friend when my "DO " started, and we had a 

      couple of bottles of wine .and some Bailey's My first drink of anything

      alcoholic in over a year ,so it did go through my brain that it might

      be the culprit, but the consultant said no unless I was a constant

      drinker.

      I had a phone call from the hospital at 11 am asking if I could go 

      for my colonoscopy on  Friday afternoon. I said O.K so they sent

      the Poo remover to me in a taxi .So, you know where I will

      be tomorrow ,glad to have it sorted sooner than expected

      Yes! Garlic and leeks too. I think they might give twinges but we have loads of leeks and broccolli (another veggie full of sulphur) in the garden -it seems a shame not to eat them. I am now resigned to twinges round my scar. The gastro says I've got sensitive guts as well as divvies and adhesions and I am becoming more inclined to believe this. On looking back beyond my first attack (ayear ago now) I did have episodes of what I dismissed as wind but could have been my guts responding to foods like the onion family. Tant pis as we say here!

      That sounds familar but won't touch broccoli if I can help it as I think that is what started this whole thing.  If eating onions and leeks etc then I try to make sure they are sweated down for as long as possible until super soft before eating.
