Last week's sore belly was caused by the bugbear of Ostomists - a blockage. The stoma can't deal with chunks of fibre because, after surgery, it's narrower than the normal small colon. I think the culprit was a bit of iceberg lettuce; definitely not worth the trouble. I've gone OCD about checking everything I eat now and can spot a tomato seed yards away. I'm also trying to up food good for my immune system so had some mussels yesterday. Before swallowing my last delicious mouthful I detected some scary sharp bits of shell I hadn't rinsed off. Cue Psycho shower scene music. Stevie bought me some Manuka (tea tree) honey which is lovely and apparently anti bacterial and anti inflammatory. It certainly doesn't have any sharp bits in. So get the toast on (no crusts, no whole grains, no seeds....)
we had a trip to a sewage farm from junior school and i always remember being told that tomato plants always grow alongside sewage farm courtesy of all the undigested pips in the poop. clearly, age 10, i was very taken by that fact! though does the fact that we were taken to a sewage farm for a trip mean i had a shitty education?!
ReplyDeleteSounds like a decent school trip - with barley sugars I hope. Did they tell you how many kidneys a glass of Cambridge water passes through before you drink it? Or whether it's got residual antibiotics/oestregens?
