Back to dairy and yeast

Now that we're back to our routine, I've packed a few different things for snacks and lunches.  I'm still giving her the multi-vitamin followed by water with the u-tract and iodine mixed in.  I just have to suck it up on the multi-vitmain and give her these supplements how and where I can.

For lunches, she's now having soy nut butter and jelly sandwiches on the smart white bread.  For snacks, I pack cheerios and mini club crackers.  These two items are on the lower end of the carbohydrate spectrum, although they do contain yeast and minimal amounts of sugar.  I haven't found much that doesn't have yeast or sugar, so I'm trying to stay under a certain level.  For carbs, I try to stay under 20g of carbs.  For sugar, I try to stay under 10g, but that's extremely difficult.  If I reach 15g, I'm not going to go crazy, but I just limit the amount of sugar throughout the day.  I've gotten more lenient on the yeast, and dairy.  I still try  to be cautious of the sugar and gluten products.  I definitely don't want her getting back into the old habit of sugar, sugar, sugar, but I'm 50/50 on the gluten free products.

The past couple of days, Jeannette has had an upset stomach.  I'm wondering if it's from the dairy.  She's been putting milk back in her cereal and I have to wonder if it's from that.  I expressed to her my concern and that we needed to pay close attention to that.

Tonight for dinner, I was in the process of making Jeannette her shake when I spilled the whole dang thing on the counter.  I had just finished putting all the supplements in and that's when I knocked it over all over the counter.  I was so upset with myself.  It's like a $20 shake that I just wasted with all those supplements spewed out on the counter.  There was no salvaging it either.  I had to mop it all up and start all over.  Ugh!!!  I was trying to hurry and look where it got me.
