Sorry can't see the humour in the connection to chrons or colitis  - am I missing somethng?   You obviously have no idea what it's like to live with these conditions.  Bit more than stinky poo :(

Actually I do, which is why I posted it?  I spend a considerable amount of time on the toilet, and burst stoma bags, and horrendous smells when you least want it to happen, lots of washing of bed clothes and pjs. I find having a sense of humour about this terrible condition helps me

I think it was because Santa had too many cookies and milk (or so he said) at each of his visits down the chimney.

Peas come out as they went in, and my stoma can proper fire them out.  Sweet corn and onions come out as they went in.  Tomato Soup when I first ate it, thought it was budding to death when I emptied my bag, it was pure soup!  Oreo Biscuits, you would have though I had taken Iron Tablets, completely black

Sorry folks had to share it really

My ex has colitis/crohns - appears to have got worse since he left me for someone else, so assume its the stress shes given him & by breaking up my marriage ..... Have to say tho - I wouldn't wish it on him ( her yes) but not him as he was just a weak midlife male & he never complains about how unwell he feels/is... He makes jokes about having to rush to the loo - but I know its not really funny in the least, but that's how he copes with it ...Sometimes we have to make light of stuff, and try to see the funny side of a not so funny situation...

Peas are awful if you have IBS too - they seem so innocuous though...

I LOVE sprouts - although Mum thought it a Good Idea to buy everything frozen as well as the sprouts  :beaurk: …… she tucked in though.  I avoided those having given one a sample bite  :-X

Sweet corn used to go 'through' my dog as it went in ………. she avoided peas for some reason, think that those disappeared beneath her spaniel ears so she couldn't see them  ::)
