Creating Your Own Reality-Manifestation


AmyNColorado

Recommended Posts

AmyNColorado Apprentice

I was diagnosed Celiac back in 2009...I'm very sensitive. My roommate brought gluten in the house and I've been sick for two weeks. I went around yesterday wiping everything down with disinfectant so I hopefully will start to feel better now.

 

However, I've always believed in manifesting your own reality and The Secret and The Magic, Ask and it is Given...creating and continually manifesting my world purposefully. I believe in it wholeheartedly yet when it comes to Celiac and digestion and IBS...I have a contradiction...at what point did I ask to have celiac disease and at what point can I now reverse it through positive affirmations and creating my own reality.

 

I struggle with this because I've continually sent out positive thoughts around my digestion, my healing, my normal bowel movements even! Does anyone else also have this internal struggle? With everything else it works wonders, I practice gratitude every day around all aspects of my life and see the results every single day around all aspects but this one.

 

Thoughts?

My thoughts? Try reality.

 

I don't mean to sound harsh, but celiac is a real, physical disease. Everybody, and I do mean everybody, has something to contend with.  We can't wish it away. We deal with it. The way we deal with it can strengthen us and make us better people, or it can weaken us and put us into a world of denial and wishful thinking.

 

I have faith in God, but I don't ask Him to deliver me from my ailments, I ask him to give me strength to deal with them, and I thank Him that they are not worse. And when the time comes that I DO have worse to deal with (an inevidability in this life), I will handle it in the same way.

As this topic has nothing to do with Super Sensitivity, I have moved it here.  it seems to be more of a topic about coping/accepting a Celiac diagnosis.  I will caution that we don't want this to become a religious discussion/argument/bashing.  We are good so far.

 

My thought on the OP's question - Celiac disease isn't likely to be reversed.  I think the fact that you are "sending out thoughts" to try to reverse it is actually negative.  Rather than sending thoughts to be strong and heal and have the strength (physical and mental) to deal with what you have, you are sending negative thoughts of "why me?" "I must be able to get rid of this".

 

Maybe an example, because I am finding this hard to explain?

 

Let's say I don't like my skin color.  Sending messages like "make my skin darker" isn't positive & healing.  Its really me saying "I am ugly" or "my skin is bad" or "I hate my freckles".  That isn't positive.  I have to accept that skin color isn't something I can change.  Celiac disease is not something you can change.  But you can change your attitude toward it.

My favourite fortune cookie says, "Acceptance is the key to happiness." I take that to mean that there are some things in my life that I can not change and accepting that and working with it will make me applied than if I fight it i just turned forty, I would rather be thirty but nothing is going to change it so I embrace it instead. There are other things I can change, and I change them. I want to lose about twenty pounds, I can change that but I accept that it will be work.

Best wishes.

There are some medical conditions you get rid of, this isn't one of them. You can heal the damage done to your body, but you will forever live your life with the fact that if you eat gluten, you will have an autoimmune reaction and cause new damage. I agree very much with what Karen said. You need to focus on healing and overcoming the challenges this presents to you. No amount of wishful thinking will make your Ford a Lamborghini, you can't change the color of the walls by willing it, and your hair doesn't change color because you want it to. These things all require a person taking action to make changes in their life. If you want your life with celiac to be better, you're going to have to make it better which you should certainly do, because it's going to be the rest of your life.

I don't think anyone asked to have Celiac Disease.  And as others have said - you can't wish it away.  That said, I do believe that having a positive attitude can help the healing process.  But you have to be realistic.  For example, a positive attitude won't keep you from getting sick if you eat gluten.  But a positive attitude can help you heal faster and feel better overall and can help you better deal with the disease that you have.

My boyfriend and I had a discussion about The Secret over the weekend. I believe in it, to an extent. I believe that good energy and vibrations attracts more good. However, that brings about the question "Why do bad things happen to good people?" My answer - sometimes things just happen, and that is outside of our control. However, we can use our positive energy to make the best out of an unwanted situation. I find that having faith in something raises our spirits, which does have a positive effect on the body (think about how stress affects the body and how meditation heals).

 

Celiac cannot be wished away. I do not believe that we necessarily attracted a genetic disease, and by no means did anyone want to have this. Now let's say that your Celiac trigger was extreme stress - the book may argue that the stress you did not take care attracted a more serious condition. But some people's Celiac is triggered through other things like child birth or illness (I think mono was mine), which are completely natural things. Did I attract Celiac when I had mono and was resting and taking very good care of myself? I don't think so. Sometimes things just happen.

 

What we CAN do, however, think good and healing thoughts while putting forward action (learning about Celiac, how to keep ourselves safe, and implementing precautions). And I'm sure you will start to feel better. The more you resent this disease, the unhappier you will be. Change your thought process, and the difference will be miraculous.

 

I believe that the book talks about resistance, and how the more you resist something "negative" the more it will come to you. I think that is what you are doing by trying to reverse your Celiac. Instead, why not accept it and continue sending healing thoughts? It is a part of you now. Work with your body.

 

I think affirmations are great! Some good positive affirmation ideas:

 

My body is healing.

 

My body is finally working with me.

 

I am becoming the healthiest and best version of myself.

 

I am becoming more available to my work and loved ones by becoming healthier.

 

I am making a positive change in my life.

 

I feel so good!

 

I accept myself completely, exactly the way I am.

      If black seed oil is working for his Afib, stick to it, but if not, I can say that ablation therapy is no big deal--my mother was out of the procedure in about 1 hour and went home that evening, and had zero negative effects from the treatment. PS - I would recommend that your husband get an Apple watch to monitor his Afib--there is an app and it will take readings 24/7 and give reports on how much of the time he's in it. Actual data like this should be what should guide his treatment.

      This happened to me as well. What’s weirder is that within a couple hours of taking paxlovid it subsided. I thought maybe I got glutened but after reading your post not so sure.

      Hi Tiffany. Thank you for writing your dituation and  circumstancesin such detail and so well writte, too. I particularly noticed what you wrote about brain for and feeling like your brain is swelling and I know from my own experiences that's how it feel and your brain really does swell and you get migraines.    Way back when I was in my 20s I read a book by 2 MD allergist and they described their patient who came in complaining that her brain, inside her cranium, was swelling  and it happened when she smelled a certain chemical she used in her home. She kept coming back and insisting her brain actually swelled in her head. The Drs couldn't explain this problem so they, with her permission, performed an operation where they made a small opening through her cranium, exposed her to the chemical then watched as she brain did swell into the opening. The DRs were amazed but then were able to advise her to avoid chemicals that made her brain swell. I remember that because I occasionally had brain fog then but it was not a serious problem. I also realized that I was becoming more sensitive to chemicals I used in my work in medical laboratories. By my mid forties the brain fog and chemicals forced me to leave my  profession and move to a rural area with little pollution. I did not have migraines. I was told a little later that I had a more porous blood brain barrier than other people. Chemicals in the air would go up into my sinused and leak through the blood brain barrier into my brain. We have 2 arteries  in our neck that carry blood with the nutrients and oxygen into the brain. To remove the fluids and used blood from the brain there are only capillaries and no large veins to carry it away so all those fluids ooze out much more slowly than they came in and since the small capillaries can't take care of extra fluid it results in swelling in the face, especially around the eyes. My blood flow into my brain is different from most other people as I have an arterial ischema, adefectiveartery on one side.   I have to go forward about 20 or more years when I learned that I had glaucoma, an eye problem that causes blindness and more years until I learned I had celiac disease.  The eye Dr described my glaucoma as a very slow loss of vision that I wouldn't  notice until had noticeable loss of sight.  I could have my eye pressure checked regularly or it would be best to have the cataracts removed from both eyes. I kept putting off the surgery then just overnight lost most of the vision in my left eye. I thought at the I had been exposed to some chemical and found out a little later the person who livedbehind me was using some chemicals to build kayaks in a shed behind my house. I did not realize the signifance  of this until I started having appointments with a Dr. in a new building. New buildings give me brain fog, loss of balance and other problems I know about this time I experienced visual disturbances very similar to those experienced by people with migraines. I looked further online and read that people with glaucoma can suffer rapid loss of sight if they have silent migraines (no headache). The remedy for migraines is to identify and avoid the triggers. I already know most of my triggers - aromatic chemicals, some cleaning materials, gasoline and exhaust and mold toxins. I am very careful about using cleaning agents using mostly borax and baking powder. Anything that has any fragrance or smell I avoid. There is one brand of dishwashing detergent that I can use and several brands of  scouring powder. I hope you find some of this helpful and useful. I have not seen any evidence that Celiac Disease is involved with migraines or glaucoma. Please come back if you have questions or if what I wrote doesn't make senseto you. We sometimes haveto learn by experience and finding out why we have some problems. Take care.       The report did not mention migraines.

      Hi Jmartes71 That is so much like my story! You probably know where Laytonville is and that's where I was living just before my 60th birthday when the new Dr. suggested I could have Celiacs. I didn't go on a gluten challange diet before having the Celiac panel blood test drawn. The results came back as equivical as one antibody level was very high but another, tissue transaminasewas normal. Itdid show I was  allergic to cows milk and I think hot peppers. I immediately went gluten free but did not go in for an endoscopy. I found an online lab online that would do the test to show if I had a main celiac gene (enterolab.com). The report came back that I had inherited a main celiac gene, DQ8, from one parent and a D!6 from the other parent. That combination is knows to sym[tons of celiac worse than just inheriting one main celiac gene. With my version of celiac disease I was mostly constipated but after going gluten-free I would have diarrhea the few times I was glutened either by cross contamination or eating some food containing gluten. I have stayed gluten-free for almost 20 years now and knew within a few days that it was right for me although my recovery has been slow.   When I go to see a  medical provide and tell them I have celiacs they don't believe me. The same when I tell them that I carry a main celiac gene, the DQ8. It is only when I tell them that I get diarrhea after eating gluten that they realize that I might have celiac disease. Then they will order th Vitamin B12 and D3 that I need to monitor as my B12 levels can go down very fast if I'm not taking enough of it. Medical providers haven't been much help in my recovery. They are not well trained in this problem. I really hope this helps ypu. Take care.
