Hopeful Update

We are always very busy during Memorial Day Weekend. We do a huge program at our courthouse on the town square.
Friday after decorating the courthouse I went to lunch with some friends to a Mexican Restaurant that serves free margaritas. I had a grilled chicken breast and avocado slices and a margarita. I had no problems after at all.
Yesterday during the program I was up in front of about 150 people helping to put a flower into a wreath for each name of those killed in action from our county was read. I felt my gut cramp up. I thought how embarrassing it would be if I had to just walk out and the restroom is on another floor. It just stayed with the mild cramping and nothing too bad. When my part was over and I sat down it stopped. Then about 30 of us went back to the same restaurant for lunch. I had the grilled chicken, avocado slices and beans (only ate a few of those) and another margarita. No problems YAY!
I am so happy to be able to attend things with our VFW again.
This is my last week on the Uceris I will stop on June 1st. I am so very much hoping the dietary changes will keep me in remission when I stop it.

I'm glad things worked out OK. The cramps may have just been a transient stress response.

Mexican food has always been my "go to" as long as I stay away from the flour tortillas and cheese. However, I can't do margaritas. The acid is way too high and I will get cramps ( but not D) or sharp pains…... Straight Tequila for me!

Happy for you!

thanks for all the replies. I may be stressing myself as I approach the last day I am supposed to take the Uceris. I have at least had a couple of months without WD.
