Fruit is EVIL!

[frollo]

I've been having problems with my Crohn's disease or perhaps something else to do with my digestive system for a while. I finally took the plunge and went to see a gastroenterologist. While I was there I realised that a few years ago I did some breath tests to see if I had an intolerance for Lactose etc and I never got the results

A list of thinks that Wikipedia tells me I should avoid eating includes:

Don't worry, we can edit that list for you... what foods do you really hate? ;)

That's why we all love Wikipedia. I think someone should sneak in and put broccoli on the list. Actually, I don't mind the green veggies. I am very thankful that Mango is not on the list.

I'll try and find a more trustworthy source of info. hehe.

um, the list that i have has mango on it :(
(but it's all about minimising intake rather than avoiding entirely, if that's any consolation.)

bugger bugger bugger.

well, at least this might help improve my quality of life a bit. And hopefully the blood test will confirm if it is a flare up or just my stricture causing problems. I'm hoping for the stricture coz then the colonoscopy and dilatation should pretty much cure me for a few more years.

*sigh*
