I hear you, Kandee. It's great when I'm able to make my own potato salad, but what's hard on me is trying to avoid it at barbecues, restaurants, etc. when other people make it and it's chock full of full fat mayo and egg yolks. Same with pasta salad, burgers, hot dogs, and deviled eggs! It stinks that we have to avoid so many summer favorites when we're out and about.

Amen to all that!!! I so agree, and now that I have to eat gluten/soy free besides safe for IBS it makes it even harder. I have a 3 week trip planned east to visit relatives and I'm already devoting part of my suitcase to safe things. I love to go out to eat but I'm tired of a plain baked potato and nekkid salad and plain unseasoned LF fish. Like you...I'd want REAL salads, ribs, burgers, fries, onion rings, milk shakes....all that...........just once!

What's even more interesting is that so many on these boards have a problem with their parents/older relatives not understanding. Well, I have it the other way around...our grown, adult kids think I'm a real nut case! How's that for a switch? LOL Kandee
