warmth

when im feeling bad,tummy cramps,running to the toilet etc,i lay down on a heat pad,if the pain is really bad i use a hot water bottle on my tummy at the same time.
I was also told to read the book "Gut instinct" it had a lot of advise,i also found writing a food diary helped,i found certain things made me worse and opposite to what i had been told-brown bread,wheat,high fibre made me worse,it was worth cutting things out,one at a time and finding how my symptoms went,this helped me to discover what made me worse,it took time and effort but through trial and error i have a much better life.
My consultant even changed my Buscapan tablets to injections i learnt to do myself,so when i had the bad times,i could resort to an injection,i hate needles but was willing to try anything at the time,i do one and if im still bad half an hour later i do another,i would honestly prefer a little sharp scratch from a needle to tummy cramps,anyone who would like to contact me is welcome to x
