........I can't eat the pastry off the top of a Fray Bentos pie any more, surely one of lifes little luxuries, as it buckles me in two with indigestion. Thing is I really enjoy scraping the tin out, as all the best bits stick to the side.

Bastid..........and dont get me started on pickled onions......

I pass on my deep condolences for your loss.

My thoughts are with you and your family.

Try getting gout, I can no longer eat things like liver, cheese and a great amount of spicey food anymore. Although since having gout I have lost a stone cutting these things out my diet and not drinking loads of beer, so every cloud.

My piles are really sore this week ,constipation is a major worry, too much bread doesn't help..

I had one last night!!!!

First one for ages but you aren't missing nowt....they taste nothing like they did years ago!!!!

Try this.



PoK might put it on for you if you ask him nicely.

I've tried them all They always come back ..

I too suffer your pain compo..........
Alopurinol all the way for me-at least i too have learned to control my weight and diet,so i wont ever turn into a fat knacker.

Gout curtailed my 'amateur' career on the rec at the tender age of 26,and has a lot to answer for-i always thought I would be kicking a pigs bladder about till either I dropped dead or suffered a broken leg.

And i love marmite too,which is pure evil to gout sufferers lol

This has gone from pie lids to a Dr Hilary problem page...

Doesn't matter what the starting subject is, it always turns to shyte.

Agreed i am 27 and have voud never to get the pain in my toe again so cut everything out that causes it, still eat cheese and drink beer in low quantities, but its vodka, gin all the way for me now.

They reckon that beer contains female hormones. Which i think is right cos after 12 pints i can't drive and talk shyte.

But that's an improvement in your case....

Probably.

Seems apt for a Darlo fan...Germ..O..Loid

Better keep your eye on PoKs pile driver.

Having to cut down on certain food for various reasons. Such as cucumber is now horrendous for indigestion. However, scientists have discovered a food that puts women off sex; Wedding cake!

Why have they started calling rotten guts and wind.. Irritable Bowel syndrome .

A word of warning though compo- any sort of alchohol or diuretic based drinks (anything containing caffeine for example-makes you wee more) and protein based foods are bad bad bad !
Ive just lost half a stone since going on a 'detox' which involved me eating soup,fruit and salads and lots of water after my most recent attack 4 weeks ago.......
I love a drink and my food as much as the next man,but moderation is the key.

could be worse suppose,i could be ginger.

bugger,just looked in the mirror lol

I think you get it from drinking booze straight from the bottle wrapped in a paper bag. Sitting by the war memorial is optional.

It's like having a permanent cramp-pain in your afflicted joint or limb, usually the foot, accompanied by a swelling, and is very painfull.

im having a mince beef n veg fray bentos for tea with mash
tonight love them

Dont forget to scrape the tin for the best bits. Burns off a few more of the calories prior to putting them back on.
