Yeah, my mum has severe Crohns Disease and let me tell you; when she’s having a flare up she can’t even stand up, let alone jump on the treadmill and then eat salad and boiled eggs for lunch. She had to give up her job because of the debilitating condition and has to live off a cocktail of drugs just to be able to eat normally and not be chained to the bathroom all day. She hasn’t had a drink in years because the alcohol would shoot straight through her! This girl has mild IBS, she does not have a serious gastric problem.Lottie Drynan: in agony with IBS
Also Lottie Drynan: at the gym at 7am
Oh bless her, I hope she’s doing okay at the moment. I suffer with mild IBS (although it’s been fairly calm lately, probably jinxed it now
) which is why I originally followed Lottie. Obviously I do have some pain at times but I can’t even imagine the pain your mum must deal with & all the things I’m sure she’s had to give up just to be able to cope everyday. I’m sure Lottie does suffer at times but it isn’t really comparable, is it? I hope your mum is doing well at the moment anyway! XAw thanks so much! She’s ok at the moment, but she has to take injections every 2 weeks of a biological treatment to ensure her body basically doesn’t attack itself. It’s just so frustrating to see someone else have no perspective over their own issues. I also have IBS (a whole family of wrecked bowelsOh bless her, I hope she’s doing okay at the moment. I suffer with mild IBS (although it’s been fairly calm lately, probably jinxed it now
) and hate when I have to run to the toilet after a rich meal or get stomach pains, but I’d never dream of basing my whole identity around my ‘illness’ when there’s others dealing with so much more. Also, I don’t think she helps herself at all. It’s very worrying as she’s holding these events now and talking to people/giving them advice... it’s really dangerous to influence such vulnerable people when she’s no expert xI’m glad to hear she’s doing alright at the moment! I do really feel for her though, it sounds awful, I can’t even imagine! But totally agree with you in that she lacks perspective & doesn’t seem to help herself. I hadn’t thought about it until you said, but it does seem odd to be giving advice when she doesn’t cope well with her own IBSAw thanks so much!

Agreed . . I think that with a lot of her outfits tbh. Im sure she wears blouses and jumpers as dresses, like, I'm all for doubling up and getting maximum use out of our clothes but bloody hell man, she takes it to next level!! . . Literally
Shes doing 1 of those "events"
Yeah my friend was actually hospitalised with food poisoning in Bali. She was super careful (stuck to bland foods in well reviewed restaurants) but still got sick, then she became severely dehydrated so they put her on an drip. I’d definitely be wary about going, let alone if I had similar issues to her.
Ive been in Bali and it’s nowhere near as bad as some people make it out to be, it’s not necessarily that it’s dodgy, it’s just that you’re exposed to entirely different bacteria etc. the same amount of bacteria, but different than what you’re body is used to, can knock you out. Plus people tend to forget how hot it is and how easy it is to get dehydrated.
Her IBS doesnt seem to stop her from doing anything. Which is just not realistic. I got to know a fair few people with various chronic illnesses and her message is basically: even if you felt like crap for months, drink the gin and blame being unwell on IBS.
I agree,
