Read through this Forum and you will see your not alone

Hello Valerie ,Hope you are VERY WELL ,I know it's a long time ,I can hardly believe it's been so long . It's taken me nearly as long .to get back on here , ! You should be 78 by now ,and not doing liquid diets .Won't spout anymore ,WRITE BACK

Jacqueline

Lots of help on here ,but you also have to help yourself, and not stress about it There is no specific Diet,  or treatment, you just have to grab it by the short and curlies and control it,  Don't eat foods that need a lot of digesting ,your colon needs a nice quiet holiday, until it recovers, which will take a while . 

You couldn't have found a better forum for help,   

Hi. are you reading through all the things that everyone has said on this forum?? I know there's lots of it,but read it. Crisps,   I eat,,,, biscuits,,,, I eat,chicken, fish, jacket potatoes with cheese or tuna, eggs.done every way, You have to eat protein, .Brown bread is O.K but leave the seedy stuff alone if you are a bit unsure. Make your own soup, chuck everything in ,then blend ,flavour it with herbs and spices.Eat little and often,, and CHEW for England.Don't get constipated ,and buy some probiotic capsules Now ,that should set you off,on  the road to being BOSS ,xx 

Hahahaha!! Thanks Jacqueline. I think it's a case of building up confidence. I never was a big eater, small meals often suits me. I do tend to binge though on foods I like. Could eat 6 oranges in a row of endless crisps! I'm not the best cook either which isn't great! 😟

SIX ORANGES !!!!!!  that is one fruit I do avoid, and it would be good if you ate ONE !!!! I do peel apples and pears and stuff with skins, just because of the pesticides that might be on them . Avocado with prawns tonight,followed by a fresh cream eclair.. . Soup is not difficult to cook, get a grip W/ann, start giving your taste

buds a treat, and be brave,,, and smiley ,and start to like yourself xxx

Maybe a slight exaggeration, they're the little ones, more like tangerines/clementines but can easily get through a net of them! Love fruit. Now then, what about wine? That's got grapes in... must be good, hey??

Looks as though you are on course for self destruction, and you intend to upset your colon BIG TIME ,,Good luck..

Not really, Jacqueline. You misunderstand me. I try very hard to look at any situation with humour (regardless of circumstances). In truth, I am really anxious to get this demon under control. I have passed out twice with the pain already. I am sorry if you feel I'm being flippant, not being flippant, just anxious.

No .. I don't think you are being flippant, I thought your sense of humour matched mine . There wasn't anyone more stressed about this damned ,here for life  thing that we have, ,than me ,and it took me a long time to get to understand it,  You shouldn't be passing out with pain ,you should be in an ambulance .Once it gets hold of you ,

you need attention ,which with every will in the world, you cannot do this yourself.  Obviously ,my sense of humour has back fired,, as it does .

I was in hospital, that's when it was diagnosed, on CT scan. New year's eve. I thought it was a water infection as that is what I was originally told 2 years ago. So, looking back, I have probably had it for that long at least, unaware and mis-managed. I'm awaiting a colonoscopy too. Can't wait! 😣

I had a infected perforated abscess, the  surgeon kept checking on me to see if the infection spread, I was a whisker away from surgery and

one of those poo bags .Fortunately the infection stopped . Iv'e had 2 colonoscopy's ,With Bridget Jones knickers ,quite interesting to look up your own bum

That sounds horrific! Glad you didn't need surgery. I wore BJ knickers long before DD. 😉 Will be relieved when had colonoscopy, hopefully it will show extent of damage. I've started a food diary now. 🙄

Right !!!! is your memory soooooooooooooo bad ,that you can't remember what you ate,,!!!!! I will give you a week  max,, before you stop ,  You can watch the T.V show,and, ask questions about what you see.  Mine looked as though there was a field of mushrooms ,and the black holes ,assumed they were the pouches AKA as dustbins (by me ) J

Hahahaha!! Course my memory is sooooooo bad! Need sat nav to get home from work! Can't wait to see it on TV, bored with Netflix now anyway! 😉😂
