Written for RDP where segoil asks us
to get creative with the word “eupeptic”.
Thanks, Heather! Here’s where the prompt took me.
Gladys wishes she hadn’t eaten the beef stroganoff her neighbor Fran made. She knows rich creamy gravy never agrees with her, but sometimes it’s just irresistible. Of course, she always pays the price. Gladys enjoys cooking and trying new recipes, even though they rarely “sit well”. How she envies her eupeptic sister-in-law, Hannah! She has a cast iron stomach and can eat whatever her heart desires. From the look on Gladys’ face, she’s ready for some Pepto.

Enjoy this classic commercial for Pepto-Bismol
Everything on The Elephant’s Trunk was created by me, unless otherwise indicated. Thanks for your consideration. NAR©2017-present.

I may be eupeptic, as I could eat ptomaine mixed with botulism and salmonella.
