Ugh, I'm so sorry CLM. I hope you're feeling better soon... or at least manage to find something other than lettuce to eat .

I don't know if they do parties but I've seen them at craft shows and the like. Good stuff, very nummy.

I am having a bout of IBS that really sucks, I have to be super careful what I eat right now 'cause almost all of it gives me a terrible bubbly tummy. I started tincturing some bitters a couple months ago that are finally finished so I'm going to be sure to have them before every meal. I can buy prepared bitters of course but that gets pricey when you need them for every bite of food, ugh. Not that this wasn't pricey, I used high end brandy for my tincture. But I got a lot, 2 large mason jars. And it's potent stuff, woo. Eating will be an extremely simple affair until I get this back in hand

Hugs to CLM!!  My family has always had troubles with IBS, including my HUb.  My Mom fixed hers with heavy food restriction and strict lists of what she can eat....which is not much.  It is easier to say the things she can eat then the things she can't.  She even was allergic to lettuce...till I got her to try organic greens, and now she eats greens all the time.  My Daddy takes all kinds of medicine to keep his tummy in check.  Not my ideal treatment plan, but it seems to help him.  I have a few things I can't eat..like grains LOL, but I'm mostly lucky with my tum tum I think.  The family joke is that I'm the carrier and that is why I don't get stomach aches

I hope you can get it under control soon monkey!

I'm ok now, thanks guys. Just never know when there's gonna be a flare up or why. Not fun.

We're packing to move so the kitchen is crazy. Lots of take out, not good for the body or the wallet . I'll get back on track when we're settled again, there's a fresh produce stand a 5 min walk from the cottage, yay!
