Diverticular Disease

Hi girls interesting reading page 36 daily mirror today

Thanks for the info. Kaz, I don't usually eat eggs as I usually feel a bit heavy afterwards but for some reason I fancied egg on toast lunchtime. Afterwards I wished that I hadn't ate them and I don't think that I will bother again. There is a new web site that my daughter in law told me about that makes gluten free bread that is just like small bloomer loaves. She showed me one that she had in her freezer, two of my grandaughters are on gluten and lactose free food. These loaves are not as expensive as other gluten free bread and the girls love it. I will see if I can find the website as I can't find the paper that had the web address on.

My Soda Bread Recipe:

225 grams spelt flour (I use half white spelt and half wholegrain spelt.)

half tsp. salt

1 tsp. bicarbonate of soda

Tablespoon oil

284mls buttermilk (carton from Tesco)

I cook on electric at 210 degrees fan oven for 25 minutes (mark 7 gas)

I did see a recipe that used yoghurt instead.

Hi girls cartons sorry not been on before been hell of a day but I did get up the shops and got some rice milk and dyralite drinks so will start them tomorrow.

Hope you are both ok ? I should tell you a bit about me I am 56 live with my 2nd hubby Noel who's 65 I have 3 sons 8 grandchildren and one great granddaughter

I had a gastric bypass 4 years ago and lost 12 stone up to today' I had to learn a whole new way of eating after that and seems I have to again.

My sons are ok as long as I don't talk about my illness typical boys or men I should say.

I tend to keep things to myself so talking to you both on here means a lot to me and has helped no end and I know I keep saying but thank you.

Kaz I think you were very brave to through all the pills out but I can understand why I have to take a lot of pills myself and sometimes you just think enough enough but well done you for coming this far. I hope it carries on working for you and don't forget if you need a good moan we are here for you as well.

Hi Joan, Hope that you are feeling better now. I have had quite a good day today but it is the mornings when I often feel worse. I think that at the moment both you and Kaz are worse than I am but I can feel O.K. for a while and suddenly go downhill again. I have a daughter and 2 sons they are all quite sympathetic and I can talk to our daughter even if it is on the phone or by email as she lives about 30 miles away and works during the day.

Almost time for bed so I think that I will put my feet up for a while and lose myself in a book.

Hi my goody buddy's

Found my soda bread recipe I can eat replaced buttermilk with coconut milk and Yeep it worked had to add can powder going to bake tomoz now its made me hungry

Joan glad you got rice milk today just shake the carton each time b4 use as it settles keep in fridge when open

Only dyralite on runny days one per day sip slowly throughout

Not brave chucking pills out but was on about 12 different four times a day woke up one morning and chucked the lot in the sink since then haven't looked back Yeep rough two months after but done it only take omeprazole if I have trouble

Your find coming of wheat your loose weight Yeep its hard and like my sausage discription think if what happens to bread when you add water now think what your body has to go through to digest it

In a way I see food in a totally different lite now know what each piece gives me ie nutrients

Have also got app on phone called can I eat it stores all info I can't eat then when shopping I scan and it tells me if its safe been a god send especially cos of my allergy to wheat and dairy

Well another good day for us three muscateers keep going new day tomoz night all xxxx

Aww well I still think your brave . but hope you both get a good night sleep and catch you tomorrow xx night

HAPPY BIRTHDAY PHYLIS

Best wishes for today

Kaz xxxxxxx

Morning girls and Happy Birthday Phylis hope you have a lovely day.

How are you both today?

I went back to see doc he said the only way he can help is by sending me to see a colon consultant and see about having a op but I told him im not having any more ops so hes put me on mebeverine and peppermint oils and see if that help also about changing food like what we have been talking about so that was that.

I started the rice milk this morning and was surprised its not bad at all I thought it would have that teast you get with soy milk but you done so pleased with that.

So what you girls up to today?

Hi Joan

Just finished cleaning top to bottom of house

Why are men so bl##dy lazy all their done is lift there feet and read papers and watch telling while I was up stairs even made a cuppa and left me out as they said I was to busy daughter just woke up only cos I pulled the blnds and started hoovering and got and earful

Glad rice milk ok Hun be careful on mebeverine can cause dizzy spells peppermint capsuals I found crap but that's me that's why I drink peppermint tea found got better results

Well time for snack which also I've got to make as just found out that's my department to do aahhhhhh

Chat later

Hi Both of you, thank you for the Best wishes, I have lots of flowers everywhere now from our three and their families.

We walked the dog this morning and then I popped into Tesco. since then husband has dozed in the chair while I have been tidying up and making soda bread. I am waiting for it to cool before having it with some carrot and corriander soup.

I think that the eggs that I ate yesterday have slowed my system down as I have been in the loo about 3 times but still feel uncormfortable. I am the opposite to what I used to be a few years ago but I think that as well as the "D" disease I read somewhere that the colon narrows as we get older.

I definitely have to change my diet. the only problem is that at the moment I have quite a bit of wholemeal bread flour in my cupboard and my husband will not eat wholemeal bread. In fact he can eat anything and never has any problems.

Hi Girls hope your days been good and phylis hope you had a lovely day today for your birthday plenty of flowers better than chocs

I must admit I have not done much today but am feeling a lot better no pain today apart from wind I blame the dogs hehe .

Joan I swop chris fir ur hubby anyday its a wonder he can remember to walk certainly can't find the kettle hehehe have good night tske care cxcc

I often overdo the housework as well Kaz, especially if I have not felt well for a few days or other things crop up and housework gets all behind. Then I try to do it all in one day and get overtired as you have done.

What do you knit? I knit but with knitting machines and I sew, although not as much as I used to as I have discovered that as you get older you can't cram as much into a day as you used to.

I also used to do a lot of baking.

Hope that you both have a good day tomorrow.

Knit toys and scenes by hand this year it's a clown letterbox robin bottle champagne it's a Xmas scene been knitting since February nearly there bit have to be in the mood

Any how time to close eyes chat tomoz
