FODMAP and BTD

Written by

In early March my Honorable Husband had all the symptoms of diverticulitis. He had had two previous attacks. We were out of town at the time, so he went to a walk in medical clinic. The doctor concurred that it looked like diverticulitis and gave him two strong antibiotics. The treatment worked, and the diverticulitis […]

Sabbatical

Written by

I didn’t plan to take a sabbatical from blogging. It just happened. 2015 started off really slow for my business. To be honest, I sort of enjoyed working on some of my own projects. I tend to be like the plumber who has a leaky faucet at his own house. I’m scanning other people’s slides, […]
