High dose Cortisone iv, full moon and sleeping does not go well together, so I was awake from 0 to 6 in the morning. I ended up in a pub selling Irish beer and Laphroaig and was in back for the head count at dawn..

Thanks all for the good wishes. They try to get me off the Cortisone. But I have the feeling that the doctors do not really know what they do or how to help me. Today I feel much better because I organized some really decent food with all macro and micro nutrients. There is a witchcraft driven Korean grandma I know her since the 1980ies and she can really really cook!!!! What she did for me today was more healing than anything the doctors did. I will now edit the pics and post them. I had three starters and two main dishes and a big pot of Jasmine Tea. I feel soooooo goood

Sleepless nights let me dig into cutting edge research on gut health. As the new science of the Microbiome or as they call themselves in practical terms "functional medicine" understand inflammatory disorders of the gut it is NOT THE GUT as itself but the settlements of  Trillions of ALIENS IN OUR GUT that are in dismal. In a way a fart is nothing but a riot reaction of some rebellious crowds living in our colon.

What do they react to?

This is seen as an input / output relationship.

Theory say we control the input to indirectly control the output like we do in a Peter Molynoux game (remember Populous or Black & White)???

This book offers a concrete 21 day recipes Parcours to heal the gut.

My guess is that the chances I can make it with the book are 85% the chances that I can make it with the doctors are 15%

Good thing about the doctors is they can give me the Cortisone and Azathioprin to stop the bleeding and be strong enough to set the 21 day plan into action.

I did do my morning sports and now I feel fresh like Hulk!!!!

Details: due to hospital regulations I am not supposed to leave the house. They told me to use their 6 Staircases for my workout. My routine is: walk down 4 stories in 90 seconds, run up same in 30 seconds. Repeat, pause for ten minutes, repeat. Half an hour of that is as good as an hour worth of light jogging, quite possibly two hours. Check details on HIIT via Google search.

Jeez Frank, you make being in Hospital look like fun  ;)
I guess ICU with "nil by mouth" is sort of a dampener  :(
My hospitals are Pure Veg and do not allow any outside food and no way you can get out without release pass.  India is known for tasty Vegetarian food but the hospitals haven't cracked it (even for the Bollywood stars on the top floor..
I hope they figure your problem out soon and get you fit  :)
all the best,
Tom

Dear Frank
Hope everything settles down soon and life can get back to normal.

The microbiome story is truly fascinating in all forms of disease not just inflammatory bowel disease but sadly medicine is still not at the stage to utilize it. You will have read about the faecal transplant stories - alas some people are magically cured, most have had no improvement but worryingly some people have got much sicker. The technology is still very early. The biologic agents seem to work well? Hopefully you will improve soon enough to get off the cortisone.

At least you can keep your technology with you. Stuff gets stolen all the time in my hospital - imagine stealing from someone's sick bed....

Best wishes and quick recovery,

JJ

This is no prison and I am not a prisoner.

You should sure be there if doctors want to visit you or nurses want to provide you with a treat or collect body fluids for testing in the lab. Other than that you can lie in bed or ambulate or sit in the yard for a smoke or go pray in the chapel or have visitors...
