Btw, i discovered a few years ago that I felt much better after the sederim than I felt on a regular shabbos. After that, I cut down on my gluten intake and b"h my shabbosim feel much better. I do occasionally have challah, but thats what really made me feel bloated.

That reminds me: in 2016, we flew in for a chasunah after Purim. They helped pay for the tickets but insisted that we spend Pesach with the other side.
