5 - Emotional Stuff

I'm frustrated. I bought gluten free corn bread mix. . .made gluten free corn bread - and got glutted. I hurt. **Grrrr.**

Celiac.com Sponsor (A13):
 

Last year they diagnosed me with a form of dystrophy - put me on all sorts of drugs, steroids - did all sorts of medical procedures. . .just to finally figure out I was misdiagnosed AGAIN. This year. . . grief, I'm getting to be afraid of the New Years. What next?

 

Sigh.

 

I so don't feel good.

 

I ordered a few Celiac books off of Amazon tonight. Maybe they will help give some insight on how to strip down my kitchen and put it back together again.

 

Jessie likes kissing me in the mouth. Wonder if she glutted me tonight. There's going to be no way on earth I'm going to be able to keep her from giving me kisses. (Jessie is my nearly two year old 85lb German Shepherd.) It's her signal that I'm boss - and it's important in dog communication. . . she's an alpha, so that makes it even more important. There are other things more important than this on the face of the earth to deal with, isn't there?

 

I wanted a hamburger last night. I remember coming back from England getting off the plane and wanting to go STRAIGHT to a hamburger stand and getting a true AMERICAN hamburger. They just don't make them the same 'cross the pond. Nope. Sweet pickles do NOT belong on a hamburger.

 

I think I'm grieving food. Pft. I've grieved a lot of heart breaking things in my life, I NEVER thought I'd grieve food.

 

I wrote an email to my pastor about communion. I'm Catholic - I go to an Episcopalian church, currently. He wrote me back pretty much suggesting that I just drink the wine for communion. . . .but he'd research it and check back with me. At least he's willing to look into it.

I feel suddenly like a leper. . . an outsider. I don't like this. No, I think it's worse than that. . .I feel unaccepted. . . spiritually. I really need to pray about it and get His perspective on it. . .I'm sure it's a lot different than mine.

I understand, especially in the catholic church if you don't go to communion it means you have sinned, so either you go and get sick or you leave everyone to wonder how you are sinned. nice eh?

I found this: [url="http://www.benedictinesisters.org/bread/low_gluten.php"]http://www.benedictinesisters.org/bread/low_gluten.php[/url] - 100% accepted by the Catholic Church. I'm going to an Episcopalian Church right now, since I don't have a Catholic church accesible to me. But I thought this was pretty wonderful that they would figure this thing out. You can do searches on the Benedict Sister's low gluten hosts - they have several write ups on it. Celiacs seem to do well with it. They brought the gluten down to well below the minimum daily level so that it can be tolerated, but still be accepted by the church.

Sometimes I think the vatican misses the point, though. I really do.

PS. I understand about the attitude. . .if you don't partake in communion, then the Lord is blocking you for something you did, if you do take it and get sick, then they wonder what you did to get there. . . sigh. . . I'm reminded of Jesus healing the man who was blind from birth. . .but then again, he healed the lepers too. . .seems He has infinitely more compassion than the rest of us , eh?

I don't want to be on the outside of Communion. . . it's too important to me. . .it's when I feel the absolute closest to my Lord. Sigh. If I figure anything out, I'll be sure to pass it on to you.

Be well,

QM

I believe you can find dog food that is not made with wheat... Since you're not going to want to or be able to keep your special friend from gifting you with his saliva, it's a change you can make without really depriving him of anything.

But, a dog really shouldn't be and doesn't want to be alpha -- that's your job. At the very least, read up on training him.

Be well,

Ellen

Hi, Ellen, I know well about the Alpha - what I mean by this is that she tests her boundaries often - she never gets away with anything, though. I'm the pack leader. When a dog licks an owner in the mouth, that's a submission stance stating that the dog KNOWS the pack leader is boss. If this is denied an alpha will begin to reassert the alpha stance. It's one of those doggie communication things.

I'll contact the manufacturer of her food and see what they have to offer. Thanks for the tip!
