In answers to your questions about diet:-

Normal tap water
White bread (though used to eat brown bread - particularly oatmeal, but had to give that up when I got ill).
All meat's fine, but I only eat chicken and fish for environmental reasons (and for general health reasons, and because I don't like the taste of any animal meat).

A whole lot of foods all started to cause trouble at the same time, including nuts and all green vegetables, so I don't eat any of them now. Fruit's fine, as are root vegetables like carrots and potatoes.

I assume if you were not born with Crohn's disease, the antigen got into your system via your mouth....the main digestive system being affected suggesting the antigen was ingested.

I had an aunt with Crohn's disease, but her symptoms were so different that I didn't consider what I had to be anything other than IBS until recently when it started affecting the very top of the small bowel and then my throat. Other symptoms then made a lot more sense. I subsequently found out that one of my uncles has it too, and like his sister, he had to have a section of bowel removed because of the damage it did there. This strongly indicates that the problem is genetic.

Important bit in colour, try no milk....it could be like when a body rejects a  donor organ,  an adverse effect to a foreign body such as an  animal bio product such as milk.

I don't drink milk at all, but I do eat cheese, and it causes no trouble. I eliminated most troublesome foods long ago, but the more severe episode that began three years ago was set off by an experiment with red cabbage and oats as I tried to extend my very narrow diet, and it's taken till now to get to the point where I feel as if I'm getting back to the way I was before that.

Honey? Never liked the stuff, so I don't know.

All possible bio hazards that may possibly trigger the bodies immune system to respond to an antigen contaminator .

There seem to be a lot of triggers, and even with all the bad triggers eliminated, there's still a residual problem rumbling on all the time. Maybe I've kept too clean and not encountered a big enough range of bacteria - that's possible as I've always had an aversion to touching door handles (and anything else that hordes of people touch), but it may be that the ones who spread filth around and who are exposed to it are healthier for it. It's also possible though that it would have happened when it did regardless..

I was just sitting here considering the different things, I agree it is genetic but I do think there must be something the causes the reaction of inflammation etc. Now for some reason slugs and salt came into my head and how slugs sort of ''explode'' in reaction to salt.  I also remember something about some people with Crohn's disease can experience skin problems as well.  This got me thinking body salts released by perspiration.
This may sound silly but maybe crohn's is a really mild slug disorder related to salt.   

Or maybe not ,  maybe it is something to do with hydrogen when you consume H²o......can't see it been oxygen related....

I will keep thinking ,  maybe we could do tests with cells and see how they react to different things maybe.

Got a room to paint this week for my friends dad, he is about 80 so I do not want to charge him though.  A cup of coffee and a chat will do, it is local so it is no big deal and will give me something to do.  Next weekend I and my friend are hopefully going car booting, weather permitting.  This will generate some pocket change hopefully by car booting a few bits of no longer needed  items .  Maybe the week after then , I might push harder to find a job other than my carers role, I certainly need to come off this internet malarkey as it gets me nowhere. 
I think I really need to drag myself away from cyber life ,  stop chasing my own delusions of grandeur...

The Interweb is an addictive prison - you need to apply very strict rules about how you use it. One visit a day to a site should be the norm, with a few extra looks if there's an important conversation going on that you want to keep turning over quickly, but otherwise it should just be a quick raid and out. For Youtube, I give myself one day a month for that (primarily because I'd risk by internet being cut for the rest of the month if I go over my data limit - I have no land line, so it's all done through 4G), and I usually don't bother even then because video is a monster that eats time and gives you very little in return. I prefer to use my time to build things.

I could definitely avoid the constant use of the internet if I had something else occupying my time such as building things.  I do my carer role when required but that is hardly anything challenging to the mind, often just quick tasks that I can literally do between posting. 
Even building things as a hobby needs raw materials although some materials can be recycled.  I built a home bar  years ago using the wooden frame off a single bed, then used tongue and groove for coverage and a kitchen work top   as the bar top, except I paint and grained it and put on a varnish for durability.
I like doing practical things, it uses the mind and sometimes a bit of creativeness to complete the task at hand.
I don't know David, I have very few options at the moment, it is hard to stay from being depressed, but I am hanging tough and at least don't feel like crying anymore...

Asking the political parties of the UK if any of them want to give me a job.......Upload activist program.......scanning........all systems good....

I have tried being good, good does not get me anywhere,  so this week I will be leaving here were I live to a flat In which I shall move in with my homeless friend.   Stuff the caring for anybody, I am going to become a selfish ahole, be like everyone else , mean , nasty, greedy , horrible human beings.  Might even rob a granny or two while starting a new habit of monkey dust....  spend xmas in jail for 3 meals a day and warmth etc.. 
Sounds appealing doesn't it ?

Use my mega mind to be a mega mind, become the real MR Evil......let the evil out , put my Angel spirit in a lead lined box.

Do not become educated people, you will only end up in a minimum paid wage job, you might as well just remain stupid and be the monkeys they want working for peanuts.


Want to know what sort of things that set me off? 

When you wake up on a Monday morning and get £60 in carers benefit to last the week, I have got to pay £50 of that out in council tax today........£10 to last all week......

Last week is the week in this  household that is considered the good week in benefits, one week a month this happens.. but oh yea, school uniforms took the entire lot.....YOU are a joke and if I could swear on here you would have such a mouthful you aholes....

Anxiety and desperation is a dangerous mix, anything can happen....

When you go car booting, have a good look round and keep an eye open for what's actually selling. Ask people what they've bought and what they're looking for so that you can get a feel for what's in demand. Ignore the totally random stuff and the stuff that's going for pennies. Some people aren't getting rid of their old junk, but they're systematically applying their intelligence to the business of buying and selling.

Of course, I have seen plenty of car boot ''stalls'' that seem more of a business than just car boot items.  I consider when you go a car boot to get rid of some unwanted items, it is good to focus on what I call the big ticket items.  These items might fetch say £10-£30 because often they are technology based such as a camera or something else that is unwanted.  If you can sell those items you are having a good day, all the ''bits and bobs'' become pocket change and can add up if you can sell plenty of.  Car boot location is also important, the more ''customers'' the more likely to sell items, it is no good going a car boot with only ten people there.   
I understand business quite well, I just wish I had made more of myself in my younger years and then perhaps I would have a business now.  My friend this time as gone around his families houses and begged bits for car boot, not sure what there is yet. 

Sell 1 million items at only a £1 profit each one, you're a millionaire, of course you would need to 'hit'' the internet to generate such large sales and account for ebay fee's etc.


Thanks for your advice David , as always.

Well I am sleeping much better these days with no medication to help me sleep.  The kids go back school tomorrow so a house clean is in order, it is hard at the moment though, my vacuum cleaner is not very good, all the attachments got lost so it is just the hose part and takes me ages to do .  However , next week I intend to have a go at stopping smoking,  I know tobacco is a killer and should know better,  I might try some patches or something.
Looking forward to having my new flat, hopefully this inspires me to rebuild my life , additionally I get to  house my homeless friend , so once settled, will try to help find him a job.  He likes warehouse work , so should be easy enough hopefully although job agencies ''rule'' around here.

Happiness is when you have a family, everyone is healthy, love, favorite work, money and you enjoy every day of your life.

Happiness is when you have a family, everyone is healthy, love, favorite work, money and you enjoy every day of your life.

Well, all that certainly helps in life, although favorite jobs could be one of several interests.  Some people can do several favorite jobs, however this is more for the business types who can allocate managerial positions to others, in doing this they can ''split'' themselves into more industries.

[HomeWork]

I absolutely agree with your opinion and support it.
