Sianny Thomas, 36, has opened up about how she lived on a heavily-restricted diet in order to control nausea caused by an inflammatory bowel disease she didn't even know she had. After battling with her symptoms and losing a considerable amount of weight, the stand-up comic was eventually diagnosed with Crohn's after she ended up in hospital. She went on to say that her body was left suffering and she had dark circles under her eyes, bull hair and nails because her relationship with food has deteriorated so badly. Sianny is now appearing in the Crohn's and Colitis UK's new campaign to help encourage others to seek help sooner ( PA) Since the 36-year-old, who also works in an office, started the medication she was given by doctors for the incurable condition, this has allowed her to start eating normally again. However, Sianny says that a lot of the time she has to avoid spicy or high fibre foods that 'trigger her'. Crohn's patients are usually given steroid tablets to help them reduce inflammation in the digestive system and to allow them to eat more regularly. However, Sianny, from Swansea, says that she was forced to eat gummy sweets as they were the only thing she could have without being sick. And she went on to add that she added bran flakes to her limited diet after reading advice online that suggested she may have irritable bowel syndrome (IBS). Sianny claims if she was 'diagnosed earlier' she would have not 'developed a bad relationship with food' ( SWNS) Opening up about her battle, Sianny){kind=link}
