I guess it was too much to hope for to have no ill effects after Thanksgiving dinner, but I did hope for it all the same. My optimism runneth over.....as does indigestion. I think the roll, turkey, and the green salad with no dressing was all fine, and while we know that my stuffing didn't contain any processed ingredients, stuffing is still incredibly rich, so that might have been a bit of a shock to our mostly low-fat diets, but I think the real culprits might have been the other salads which all sported copious amounts of mayonnaise. I don't actually care for mayo in general, and I haven't checked to see what's actually in the commercial variety (note for next trip to grocery store), but I'm guessing it's quite far on the "illegal" scale.
So....yesterday I made a broccoli soup for dinner, today for lunch I had a very large bowl of steamed peas and a few nuts for lunch, and tonight for dinner we had spaghetti squash (first baked, then sautéed with garlic, onion, one chicken Italian sausage, then sprinkled with about half a teaspoon of fresh Parmesan & salt to serve), so we're feeling "cleansed." The good news is, my stomach has stopped hurting. The bad news is, December--known around here as the Party Marathon Month--hasn't even started yet. We might have to re-think our former exemption of eating whatever is served at someone else's house....or just stick as close as possible to the relish trays.
Hey, maybe this means we won't have to worry about holiday weight gain......

The trick to holiday parties is to eat BEFORE you go. We do this for potlucks because, well, you never know what you are getting when it is potluck! And yes, mayo is really rich, good for a gall bladder attack in this household. Hope you continue to feel better.
