I reckon the best thing you could do for yourself would be to eat more healthily and maybe
think about losing a little weight. Perhaps cut out the fags, too. You say your condition's not aggravated by dietary stuff and you'd know better than me, but if I were in your situation, I'd at least try to make sure that I was as healthy as I could be.

As for weed, I'm not a fan. I tried it the same as everybody else when I was a teenager and I didn't like what it did to me. Generally speaking I think the weaker varieties shouldn't be controlled, since they don't seem to hae done the previous generations any harm. The more modern stronger varieties ought to be properly investigated before a decision's made.

More than anything else, I hate kneejerk Daily Mail style reactionary attitudes. I DONT LIKE IT is not reasonable grounds for law changes. Neither is I WANT TO DO IT WITHOUT BEING ARRESTED, to be fair.

I think that's because everyone forgot about it.

( the mighty badger Aphrodite, on a bar stool, by your side, Tue 27 Aug 2013, 12:10, Reply)

I think that's because IBS is a catch-all name for a bunch of different complaints
with similar symptoms that nobody has any solid explanation for.

You have seen Gonz's culinary delights haven't you?

( hartley hare Just some prick who thinks it doesn't apply to him, Tue 27 Aug 2013, 12:11, Reply)

To be fair to Gonz, that's circumstantial at best.
I just figure that it's probably best to have a body that's as healthy as it can otherwise be when you're trying to cope with a pretty crippling condition.
( Kroney, Tue 27 Aug 2013, 12:12, Reply)

It doesn't take a rocket surgeon to work out that constant consumption of bowel irritants
is a bad thing. But Gonz buys into stuff like the caffeine/opiates bollocks so if it works for him, meh. I've given up trying. Although, rightly, there's no reason he should pay any attention to what some prick off the internet says. Even if I am right.
( the mighty badger Aphrodite, on a bar stool, by your side, Tue 27 Aug 2013, 12:15, Reply)

Sure, they probably don't help
but simply being irritants doesn't necessarily mean they're the stuff that's irritating his. Likelihood doesn't make certainty.

Just playing devil's advocate, here.

yeah.
but it's pretty fucking likely.

Meh, it's his poo-splattered funeral.

the fact is that correlation equals causation

( Naked Ape call me Caitlyn, Tue 27 Aug 2013, 12:21, Reply)

The fact is, he's addicted to opiates
and on some level doesn't really want to do anything that might result in a limited supply.
( Kroney, Tue 27 Aug 2013, 12:24, Reply)

You can't really blame a person prescribed opiates for ending up addicted to them.
They are deliciously moreish.

No, I don't blame him for it.

Why do over the counter painkillers contain caffeine?

That's spot on.
You won't find many over weight people with chrones, for example.
