I’m not yet ready to give up my beloved Americano, a rather liberal interpretation of weak coffee which Elaine Gottschall would likely have taken issue with, and I’m not, for the time being, going to worry about rogue illegals—the 2% floaters that creep into virtually every food served in American restaurants, even the so-called “legal” foods. If you are just starting, do not follow my example—do SCD full-out, 100%, like it says in the book. No f*cking around, kids, especially if you’re doing any of that lovely bleeding out of your rectum or spending time around doctors anxious to sketch out the new one they’re going to build you. I’m well, I’m almost fat, I’m on meds and I’ve been stable for a long time. [...] [...] *Note to any SCD-prospectives out there: this does not mean I’m on SCD.

Them. (I have a hunch there’s more than one.) I’m undergoing a course of hypnotherapy right now to help me stay on my diet: you know, the diet that made the blood stop shooting out of my ass; that saved my bacon; that I followed happily, religiously, for two years before I became a whiny little brat who just wanted a piece of rye toast with breakfast, dammit! My hypnotherapist (he has no website, but if you’re L.A.-based and looking, shoot me an email) suggested yesterday that maybe there is some part of me that I need to sit down and have a discussion with.

I'm so glad to finally hear someone else is in remission of Crohn's Disease. I suffered for 5 years originally diagnosed with Irritable Bowell Syndrome. During the last year of the disease I went down to 97lbs. This is not IBS I kept screaming at the doctors. Needless to say I had two major surgeries in 1997. For two months I was out of commission. Since then, well I'm going on almost 9 years remission :) It is funny how we have epiphanies when we are the living dead. I have hope that this disease dies instead of the person. Just a note: when I was in the hospital... there were 12 others in my ward haveing the same surgery to remove part of their illeum. We were all on <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Total_parenteral_nutrition" rel="nofollow">TPN</a>. It saved my life so that I could live through the second surgery at all but 97lbs. I'm 32 and it's great to be alive in 2006. Not sure if you have looked into taking <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lactobacillus_acidophilus" rel="nofollow">acidopholus</a>? It is a pro-biotic that works very well for Crohn's and Candida sufferers. by the way... your bio and pic are beautiful :) Wow… I’m so glad to finally hear someone else is in remission of Crohn’s Disease.
