That is a great expression! Honestly I wouldn't sweat it...they aren't good friends to begin with if they bail on you because of that. All of my friends are sympathetic about my condition. The...
Started Oct 5, 2011. I've seen enough improvement that I haven't gone back to meds but I've never reached remission. I finally cheated on the diet a few weeks ago with pizza and then another time...
I have...I'll be honest, I've eaten it so much I hate it now!! I made some variations with beef that are pretty tasty but haven't made any since switching to organic (the price of a loin is...
Just visited their website...looks pretty good! 11 servings per container does make it quite expensive but I'd say it's worth a try. I'd really like it if it helps with sugar cravings! I wonder if I...

I feel the diet would work for me if I could stay in a basic diet 100%, but I allow my impulses and taste buds to control me too easily. I haven't touched a donut or a latte or anything like that,...
I have not tried rectal meds, and I thought of surgery as a last resort only because I have "mild" U/C. I've never been in the hospital, and my worst days have me cramping and wanting to just curl up...
