DIVI DINERS

Hi Jac.    Somewhere along the line you asked me about eating brassicas. I don't eat sprouts or calabrase (out of all the brassicas) because I find they give me pain in the gut and the farting is almost non-stop and foul smelling.

I suppose longer coooking rather al dente is marginally better but I just avoid them altogether.  Jon

I know !!!!!! Iv'e asked LOTS of questions along the line Yuo can't blame

 a girl for asking again, and NO my memory is fine /just didn't want THAT pain back TR.

Are you taking us with you on your holiday so we can keep tabs on what you are eating You should be O.K. if you face into the wind 

 

EVERBODY (even non-DD sufferers) know s that sprouts make you fart. (Why do we use euphamisms - DG refers to farting as 'trumping! ha! ha!). Between 'bouts' I am generally pain free as you know, but I do follow my (quite extensive diet) set by my dietician closely.  However farting (unless I've eaten something disagreeable) is usually virgin wind of the non odorous variety.  No, I operate a desk machine but my wife (who has  a laptop) won't be taking it.    We need to relax so soon after the Caribbean.  I shall be out of touch after Saturday for 18 days and then back again until Nov. when we are taking a 'cultural' tour of Troy/Ephesus and Greece.( love the Greeks) Meanwhile I have had to suspend my German and Italian teaching lessons for the summer. I am a tea drinker (no effects) but don't drink coffee (only because I never have and don't particularly like it - my Italian friends can't understand it).  I do drink green tea with a slice of lemon. That has no effect either (neither does it in gin!)  Jon

have to tell you Jon, you amuse me no end,I think my wrinkles are on retreat from smiling at your submits, better than any medication' I would have thought that "Virgin "  of anything was appliable to you.

Come on Jon surprise me, and make me smile

You too!  Laughing is a great tonic and does a power of good - wrinkles included.  However, it can also make you fart.  It's a super word - so descriptive of people in particular.

Will tell you more later in the day.  Have to go shopping.

Hi Jon Went shopping today as well good excuse ,as it was my birthday, 

and yes I am over 21. mada a large hole in my purse, and I think that the bug is with me and I may have to go tomorrow to make it bigger

thank you Juliet AGAIN. Dying for some sprouts and green beans O.K

on the farting front , ma is almost deaf 

Try peppermint either tea or cordial made with warm water good for wind don't like the tea but find warm cordial ok dose help but i also have buscopan off gp x

I am not as yet a member of the farting group, but Jon seemingly is team leader on that one

I think I will pass on the peppermint tea 

I had a thought last light - it happens but rarely, so make the most of it!  Regarding the gas problem.  What if the gas itself is the problem, in the sense that it might inflate the pouches, thereby allowing particles to enter, stay and decay?  I may be completely off target, but it sounds reasonable to me.  So if someone has a meal that includes any of the gaseous culprits, but also includes, say, tomato pips, might the [u]combination[/u] cause a flare?  I am kind of thinking as I go along, but maybe this could be possible.

I like your lateral thinking but I would stick to the known cause that foodstuffs in the digestive system cause wind - and it needn't have lodged in the diverticuli.  Remember,people who do not suffer from Diverticular disease also suffer from wind or 'bloating' (as woman's magazines refer to it). 

Hi juliet, I will be the guinea pig for your thinking I will eat. but not gorge

on one of the forbiddens and report (ha  how appropriate) what happens

 Please don't let it be pain !!!!!!!!!!!!

I really hope all is well; let us all know what you ate and if you reacted.  Well done, my little guinea pig!
