Vacation (thanks Marilyn!) and Looking for Support :)

[Guest guest]

Hey Everyone! Seems like ages since I've been online. I just got back from my

week-long trip to Miami and everything went great! Now that I know to send my

yogurt and pear/applesauce through with my luggage and not a carry-on, travel

has become much smoother...

We stayed at the " Palms " resort and the staff was so nice and supportive of my

diet. MARILYN- I made a version of your " allergy card " and it was SO HELPFUL!

The chefs were able to tell me right away if there was something I

could/couldn't eat. The Palms makes everything from organic and local food so I

felt great about what I got. My favorite meal was a " salad " of lobster, avocado

and hard boiled eggs. I am easy to please

For anyone who goes out to eat, this card is a must!!! You can fine tune it to

your own needs.

Anyway, I am approaching week 3 of my 7 month flare. I had a 5 week flare at 3

months and nothing at 5. So, of course, I am pretty down about it. I know I am

always the first to say " hang in there " when anyone else is having troubles, but

it is so discouraging. I was making some really good improvement and now I feel

like I am back at the beginning of the diet again. Ugh. Any words of advice? I

am going to go back to the intro on Monday...
