Re: Back Pain--Crohn's disease

["Tracey" <tracey@tbt.co.za>]

Hi, Bonnie.  I have always suffered from chronic lower back pain, both
because of the Crohn's and because I have a couple of prolapsed discs after
a car hit me as a youngster.  I have been told to watch my diet, and I'm
keeping a close eye on the chocolate I am currently consuming, to make sure
that it doesn't do anything funny!  No, I have been more careful with what I
eat, and my GE is pumping me full of drugs at the moment, so I should be in
remission soon.


Thanks for all of the advice.  I'll try and get some of the books you
mentioned.
