From JOHN RAMSDEN
With reference to K. Fawcett’s recent letter (15 February), in which
he ascribed to malaria tablets the disappearance of his piles while on holiday,
I suggest that a more likely reason is some feature of his diet which he
temporarily abstains from while away but which in normal circumstances causes
him chronic bowel inflammation. Examples might include strong coffee (from
a vending machine at his workplace, perhaps) or pepper.
