[I'm sorry]Pete, it sucks so much to read about the pain you're in. Before they make you go through another surgery or put you on hardcore meds, I beg you to give the
Specific Carbohydrate Diet a try. At least give the amazon reviews a read. These are real people who had debilitating Crohn's that is completely in remission. Just give it 3 weeks and see if you feel better. It can't possibly be worse than the dietary restrictions you have now due to pain, right?[/one-trick pony is shutting up now.]
