Cal Posted December 10, 2006 Report Posted December 10, 2006 Neither did I until recently. We have a really safe one.
Mez83 Posted December 10, 2006 Report Posted December 10, 2006 Me neither. Even when they're in those cute little holders.
claire_louise Posted December 10, 2006 Report Posted December 10, 2006 They are good. I've been using a lot of hot-water bottles since I was diagnosed with Crohn's. They really do help! Aww Cal, u have Crohn's? That sucks. I've just been diagnosed with IBS, and it's getting me down a lot. Hope you feel better.
Cal Posted December 10, 2006 Report Posted December 10, 2006 Aww Cal, u have Crohn's? That sucks. I've just been diagnosed with IBS, and it's getting me down a lot. Hope you feel better. I do. I was diagnosed at the end of September. It really does suck, doesn't it?! I havn't really gotten used to it, it's all still wandering around in my head. Being not able to eat my favourite foods also sucks. I can't eat any wholemeal foods or high fibre foods. School is very difficult, just worrying alot. My grades have gone down because I can't concentrate. It's all so confusing. One thing I must mention, I have just started trying it. Manuka Honey. Try it! It is really good for us IBS sufferers. It gets rid of all the symptoms.... if you know what I mean. Here is a link... http://www.manukahoney.com/resources/condi...ach-ulcers.html Don't get too down about it. It gets better as time goes on. I ended up back in hospital a second time because I ate the wrong foods, but try and stick to a low-fibre diet and you'll be fine.
Mez83 Posted December 10, 2006 Report Posted December 10, 2006 Mmmmmmmmmmmmmm Manuka honey. That's really good for a sore throat too.
Cal Posted December 10, 2006 Report Posted December 10, 2006 I find the taste absolutely dire! EDIT: I just took a huge spoon-full and I almost threw up!
Jess Posted December 10, 2006 Report Posted December 10, 2006 My Dad has Crohn's and my best friend has IBS...so, yeah, I know it's totally sucky! And yes, Cal's right, Manuka honey does seem to help a lot, we're practically swimming in the stuff (although I would imagine it'd be pretty hard to actually swim in the stuff, it's like treacle! )
Jess Posted December 10, 2006 Report Posted December 10, 2006 ^^ Oh yeah, there is that, too. But it's well worth it!
Cal Posted December 10, 2006 Report Posted December 10, 2006 It's €15 for a small tub here. Dad's going crazy because he knows that he is going to have to buy it for years.
