One day in August 2008 - I saw blood in the toilet, and then in September bleeding became more frequent, and also with pain. At the time I was thinking it was only going to be a temporary thing, but I've had it since then and it is May of 2009. I have changed my diet dramatically - here's what I eat in a day - Whole Wheat English Muffins with Smart Balance Light, Whole Grain waffles with Smart Balance Light, High Fiber Bran/Honey Cluster/Flax cereals with milk, Live Active Cottage Cheese, Whole Grain Plain Brown Rice with canned green beans/mushrooms or canned vegetables, more Smart Balance Light, and Parmesan Cheese and lots and lots of water - 20 cups. I am so bored with this diet, but it is the only thing that brings relief. My family brings home spicy food and I can't have any. I can't eat at restaurants because most places have spices and my doctor says I can't have any and it makes it worse. I believe that God is going to heal me, but waiting is the hardest part.

" Dear Vanita, have you tried any of the cures?
Hemm Relief seemed to work for me. I am not trying to push that however. People without hemms just don't understand. Don't you sometimes feel like you are being punished?
I too miss spicy food and the occasional beer! "
