Why is it ,that I have been eating fresh air and boiled potatoes for six

days, I look ,and feel as though I have eaten three Sunday  dinners???

"BLOAT""   .I understand is part of a  Flare  side effect. What  causes it,? 

it's not food, or poo .it's not painful. just unsightly

Mebeverine will flatten it out for a while ,but it returns  ,so it's baggy sweaters to hide it .that makes me look as though I've eaten four sunday

dinners .  Any suggestions  how to flatten it, without using drugs???

    I joined this thread for help and advice on coping with diverticular disease. It was useful to start with, but of late it has turned into a boring generic chat room with facetious discussions about potatoes, couriers and farthing. I asked a valid question about aloe Vera and the only response was a stupid comment about mixing it with spuds. I appreciate that humour cuts through the pain, but I am beginning to feel like an outsider. Good luck managing your CD, I'm out of here.

      Amen, Jac. (to Alexandra) What has coinage got to do with DD. (she mentions farthing). We used to use them when bread was 4d 3 farthings!

      I was harping on about the innocuous little potato that, suddenly someone sees as a threat to health!

      I submit that living is, also.

      That's what happens when you read other peoples posts.

      Seems as though we have picked up a liitle flack. fo a 'avin' a larf!

      Being generic, is that a polite word for gereatric ? And generally

      talking to everyone' But I think the person in question really needs

       a herbalist 

      Are you sorted from yesterday? You were on overheat .Stress,

      not good for the Divi.

      Ho ho.  Yes.  Tons better.  I do hink stress can play a part but you know my real obsession is diet.  I suspect youo are on the ball with genereic -it means a lot of old farts!

      A herbalist, yes... or HRH Prince Charles.

      Off to H&B to see if  there is anything herbal for a sore eye ,caused by D.D 

      antibiotics. Pity our departed  user had no sense of humour 'As important 

      as meds as far as I am concerned

      Trying, seemingly in vain to revive the Diners ,even told the departed one

      to go there I think we will have to give it a new title that everybody can

      find easily 

      What about DIVI DINERS Mark  11  ? I want to put two , but it's come out

      as eleven. Can it be done// There again there is a wealth of info on the 

      old one that cannot be repeated

    You are so right  - there is a wealth of USEFUL information on the original site.  Why can't you just call it DIVI DINERS TWO?  There is a need to get back to basic facts - peripheral, obsure thoughts (like harmless potatoes) just lead interested parties away from the main debate.
