Leaving for Utah in the morning

Post by Gloria »

I may not be posting for the next week while I'm in Utah visiting DD#2. I'll probably be reading, but not posting. My granddaughters want me to play with them while I'm there, not type on the computer. It's a sacrifice I gladly make. :smile:

My MC is well under control right now, one Norman a day. Entocort is probably doing most of the work, but I'm still tweaking my diet, too. Whatever I'm doing must be working.

Hi Gloria,

Have a wonderful time with your granddaughters!!! I watch my youngest one in the mornings 4 days a week, then I drop her off at kindergarten. It is so wonderful to spend time with her - she is a little ray of sunshine!!!

So glad for you that you're experiencing a "dry spell" - boy, do you deserve it!!!

Wishing you a great stay in Utah!!!

Warm regards,
Kari

Have a marvelous trip, Gloria. Enjoy your grandchildren. I wish I were lucky enough to have some.

On Facebook this morning, I found a post from DD#1 to DD#2. It said, "You realize we are being replaced, don't you?" I replied, "Hey, you were the ones who left us for AZ."

Thank you for your good wishes. It's been terrific seeing my "Utah family" again. Our checked luggage arrived after we went to bed, but the ghee, salad dressing and nut butter seem OK. All my other food is in a suitcase that I carry on.

I have a few minutes this morning.

Arrived at 3:30 p.m. (our time) and immediately went shopping for my groceries. We didn't have time to make a dinner suitable for me. DD had looked up a restaurant that served lamb, so we ate there. I ordered slices of lamb with au jaus. Checked if the au jaus had any soy; it didn't, so I dipped my homemade GF bun with the lamb slices into it and that's all I ate. This morning I had gas and a much-deteriorated BM. Sigh.

That's the second time that I've eaten out, only ordered meat and have had problems the next day. I guess I have to completely stop eating out. I'll need to figure out a plan for our Hawaii trip in four weeks.

I hear the pitter-patter of little feet, so I need to sign off.

Gloria,

I'm glad you arrived safely, but sorry that you had a problem with your first meal. :sigh:

From Wikipedia:
Often prepared in the United States is a seasoned sauce with several additional flavourings. American recipes au jus often use soy sauce, Worcestershire sauce, salt, pepper, white or brown sugar, garlic, onion, or other ingredients to make something more like a gravy. So-called jus is sometimes prepared separately, rather than being produced naturally by the food being cooked.
The red emphasis is mine, of course, but the problem is that basically, there's no telling what that sauce had in it.

The meat is rarely the problem - it's what's added to it, or served with it, that "gets" us.

I hope the rest of your trip goes much more smoothly.

Gloria, enjoy your granddaughters; you are lucky! I am always in awe of you "traveling" people. You always seems to be well organized. It is marvelous that you are doing what you want to do and hopefully the bowels will cooperate.

Wishing you a wonderful trip(s)! Ginny

Have a great time Gloria. I am very hopeful that Norman will be sticking around for a long time.
