    Wow, this brought back a lot of memories Erik. When I left Vestmannaeyjar for Reykjavik I had almost exactly the same weather you had --- large rolling seas and 25 kts of wind. I was as delighted as you were to finally arrive on mainland Iceland. 😊 Here’s hoping the medical challenge was overcome!

      My heart aches for your suffering. I’ve had my own digestive issues now for 13 years. I’ve found that low carb, which means also low fiber, helps me. Think of it this way. Fiber is like sandpaper rubbing on a sunburn. Ouch! Also I make my own high count yogurt with organic half and half. There are certain microorganisms which are helpful. Your perseverance in spite of your physical difficulties is inspiring.

    I wish you a speedy recovery, little pain and stable conditions. Your sailing: incredible. Leaves me breathless. Your videos: professional, with great, great attention to detail. Your boat: pure, down to the smallest corner. Sometimes I cross my fingers that you survive, even though I know you cut the movie later. Even episodes with little wind I love to watch several times. Inspiring.

    Erik, not promoting just informing you. A close friend I have known for 39 years developed Crohn’s disease and tried a lot of different medications since he was around 15 years old, most of it upset his stomach and didn’t help. He got to the point of where he looked anorexic and extremely weak, physically his body looked like he was around 12-14 years old. When medical marijuana became legal where I live he was prescribed that by his doctors and they have been able to ween him off of all his medication. During the last two years he has gained around 35 to 40 pounds and looks and feels so much better.

      I'll support this Eric . Similar situation with a friend of mine , he's had a bag and a reversal and really suffers with it still but cannabis really helps him . His partner also has a similar illness and she also gets relief from the pain taking cannabis. It is a natural antispasmodic and anti inflammatory. Manuka honey is fantastic too . All the best , Mike .

      That’s interesting. My sister has had Crohn’s since age 13 she’s 51 now but she went Dow the exact same path you described. She ended up having a colostomy bag fitted though after going down to 6 and a half stone! It made her better and she put weight on but it’s a price to pay, mind you there was no choice at the time.

    Erik, you are one tough hombre! My cousin has had Crones disease since he was a pilot in the Air Force in the late 1970's (triggered by survival training.) He has been on medication most of his life, and although he has attacks as you do (less and less over time as he's learned to control it through diet, exercise, and meds,) he is super active - including sailing (mostly racing) and flying helicopters. He's now 65, so Crones is totally controllable. Gambatte from Japan!

    Hi Erik,
    I am sure you are checking with the doctors but in my opinion it would help if you could consume only low fodmap foods with no carbs and sugar. Also two proper meals a day and no snacking if possible. Intermident fasting can help your gut heal itself. Alcohol-wise only distilled stuff or maybe wine.
    Thank you for inspiring us with your amazing journeys! Following for more than a year now!
    Wishing the best

Watching your love for sailing and the ability to show it to the sailing community as well as your commitment and determination to achieve the goal, I think you should have no problem finding sponsors...
