It is nice to know that we aren't limited in what we can do or where we can go in life. Also it makes for an entertaining read, to kill a few minutes while sitting on the can ;) ...

  1. Hi,
    Just came across your blog through a google search. Do you know about the Specific Carbohydrate Diet? It's a really effective natural treatment for Crohn's and Colitis that pretty much cures it in a matter of time. There is a book about it called "Breaking The Vicious Cycle" by Elaine Gottschall. I'm on the SCD and there's more information about it on my blog at www.comfytummy.com
