Back home now!

[Chrismac]

So I'm back from visiting my boyfriends parents in The Netherlands!

Thankfully we had the whole top floor of the house to ourselves so no embarrassing noises, smells, frequent runs..

I was there for 2 weeks and ok for most of it.. Flying always messes up my whole digestive system, even short haul flights so I didn't actually have a BM for about 3 days at first!! Although this is wonderful for me who on average has 3 in a day it was a bit uncomfortable!

After that I'd average on 1 BM a day.. it was so good to have my pre-crohn's BMs back! I had cramps the whole 2 weeks but that's normal. The food was REALLY good and I ate well.. But I ruined that eventually by drinking SO much coke everyday.

The last 3 or 4 days I started flaring and was getting the sore constant pain in my colon. Today I've had 4 or 5 BM's already and it's still morning! But that's the Indian I had last night so not too worried!

Oh! Also I had a message from my mum saying the Just a Drop arrived at her house while I was away!! SO happy, can't wait to pick it up! What a lifesaver.... or embarrassment saver.

Glad your trip went well!! My husband has relatives in the Netherlands to we have been as well. It is a beautiful county and oddly enough I didn't have any symptoms while there. I ate a lot of fish though, so maybe that is why. Or it is something in the air. Let me know how the just a drops works for you.

Nice! I do love the country.. just like England but flat!

Where do your husbands relatives live? My boyfriend is from Enschede. Home of Grolsch!

 

[MapleLeafGirl]

They live in Loenen Au Vecht and Breukelen (not far from Amsterdam) he also has a couple of cousins in Sneek.

I have never been to England but would love to go someday!

Hi Chris - I was just thinking about you this weekend and wondering how your visit went! Glad it went well for the most part and I hope you are back to feeling good again soon. Stay away from that Coca Cola!

Thank you! I know, the coke is BAD. But now I'm home there's this amazing thing we Brits have called Ribena.. it's a blackcurrant juice drink.. and VERY good for you!! My favourite....

I'm thinking I'm going to try the low res. diet now.. I need to stock up on food and this is a perfect opportunity. The last couple of days I've been in a flare so it will be good to give my body a break food wise.
