before this thread I was not aware of any of your previous dealing with it, if I was a member when this happened... i missed it completely, sorry. I was also completely unaware there are people who are in denial of it. As I stated above, I have seen it first hand (or IBD like symptoms, it wasn't actually diagnosed) so it strikes me just as odd to hear that, as it must of struck you at the time. I can see where your frustration would come from, taking a lashing for telling the truth. There does seem to be a few who are put on a God Pedestal and what they say is law, regardless of the facts.

Knowing all this now, I can completely understand. You have to admit though, for those of us out of the loop it was pretty damn confusing.
