S-wheat Jesus, I’ve missed bread

Bread & wheat!! It really is true that you don’t know what you’ve got till its gone.

After weeks of “naked burgers” (which I’m assured is just a fancy way of saying burgers with no bun) and alternatives to regular bread, I’m finally allowed white bread again, and I’m testing brown bread just for good measure.

This has also opened up a whole new world of snacks and cakes, yeah I’m talking Yum Yums, Fondant Fancies & Jam Sandwich Creams which I have been stuffing myself with for 4 days now, in the interest of testing of course…

What’s up doc?

So not too much has happened in the past week. With the exception of continuing to test foods (cheese, onions & butter are all good, hooray!) there hadn’t really been any other developments, until yesterday.

Egg-xcellent

Sorry, but there are going to be a LOT more food-based puns over the next few weeks. You have been warned.

I’m finally at the re-introduction stage of the LOFFLEX diet as I mentioned before, and my first test of eggs went fantastically. Celebratory omelettes all round!!

LOFFLEX? What the hell is a LOFFLEX?

Ok, this one is a bit of an education piece on the LOFFLEX diet so it might be a bit boring. You’ve had your warning, skip it if you don’t care but I thought it was a good idea because I’m going to be jabbering on about it for MONTHS.

I’ve found the first thing people say after you tell them you have Crohn’s (after either looking confused or standard sympathy noises) is “Doesn’t that mean you cant eat some foods?”

Home sweet home

So, its been over a week since I was discharged from hospital, and I suppose its high time for an update!

Medically: Everything is going well. I was sent packing with a HUUUUUGE bag-o-drugs last Friday so I’ve sorted them into my old lady pillbox as seen below.
