Going on 3 months since beginning the honey/water elixir. Been keeping a diary of "bad days" and thought I would share it with everyone.
Before getting into that, it's PARTY TIME TOMORROW!!! Having a "Kentucky Derby" barbecue. Got some new things for the backyard and looking forward to getting together with a bunch of good friends. Besides the food and alcohol, this party includes full on track betting via computer and an in-house Derby pool. Mint Julep anyone?
Back to the diary, especially as it relates to tomorrows party. Definitely dealing with a minor flare up today and will be taking it easy all day. Just glad I got all the backyard prep work done yesterday. The diary shows all "bad crohns days", the details of those days and a number assigned to that day which indicates how severe of a flare up it was. Here it is:

Honey/Water Diary
Start Date March 5,
2013
Bad Days (Scale 1-5 with 1 the mildest and 5 a
blockage flare up)
March 21
Probably over did a few things. Today was the end of a long stretch of
working out with no days off (probably, 9 days in a row) and also, with feeling
so well, I’ve been eating some things, I normally don’t (i.e. ice cream). Not bad, just no energy and a bunch of times
in the bathroom. (2)
April 9
Went into NYC for AGT today and had 3 emergency bathroom
runs. Probably a little anxiety? Was a little achy, but not bad at all. (1)
May3
Pretty much exactly the same as March 21st,
except my diet has been really good.
Been really working out hard, plus this week did a lot of outdoor work
on the backyard. Today, I’m really
exhausted and also a bunch of times in the bathroom. (2)
Been pretty amazing, how well I've been feeling. Those 3 days listed above are the only 3 days, I haven't felt perfect. I am making sure to stay consistent with how much and when I drink the water/honey (always right after I wake up in the morning...4 ounces of water mixed with a tablespoon of honey).
I'll be back soon with pictures and maybe some video from the party.
