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.

      Desperately need a vitamin D supplement. I've reacted to most brands I've tried.

      Raising you vitamin D will increase absorption of calcium automatically without supplementation of calcium.  A high PTH can be caused by low D causing poor calcium absorption; not insuffient calcium intake.  With low D your body is not absorbing calcium from your food so it steals it from your bones.  Heart has priority over bone. I've been taking 10,000 IU D3 a day since 2015.  My doctor says to continue. To fix my lactose intolerance, lots of lactobacillus from yogurts, and brine fermented pickles and saurkraut and olives.  We lose much of our ability to make lactase endogenosly with maturity but a healthy colony of lactobacillus in our gut excretes lactase in exchange for room and board. The milk protein in grass fed milk does not bother me. It tastes like the milk I grew up on.  If I drink commercial milk I get heartburn at night. Some experts estimate that 90% of us do not eat Adequite Intake of choline.  Beef and eggs are the principle source. Iodine deficiency is a growing concern.  I take 600 mcg a day of Liquid Iodine.  It and NAC have accelerated my healing all over.  Virtually blind in my right eye after starting antihypertensive medication and vision is slowly coming back.  I had to cut out starches because they drove my glucose up into the 200+ range.  I replaced them with Red Bull for the glucose intake with the vitamins, minerals and Taurine needed to process through the mitochodria Krebs Cycle to create ATP.  Went from A1c 13 down to 7.9.  Work in progress. Also take B1,B2,B3,B5,B6. Liquid Iodine, Phosphatidyl Choline, Q10, Selenium, D and DHEA.     Choline supplemented as phosphatidylcholine decreases fasting and postmethionine-loading plasma homocysteine concentrations in healthy men +

      @catnapt, Wheat germ has very little gluten in it.  Gluten is  the carbohydrate storage protein, what the flour is made from, the fluffy part.  Just like with beans, there's the baby plant that will germinate  ("germ"-inate) if sprouted, and the bean part is the carbohydrate storage protein.   Wheat germ is the baby plant inside a kernel of wheat, and bran is the protective covering of the kernel.   Little to no gluten there.   Large amounts of lectins are in wheat germ and can cause digestive upsets, but not enough Gluten to provoke antibody production in the small intestines. Luckily you still have time to do a proper gluten challenge (10 grams of gluten per day for a minimum of two weeks) before your next appointment when you can be retested.

      Hello, @asaT, I'm curious to know whether you are taking other B vitamins like Thiamine B1 and Niacin B3.  Malabsorption in Celiac disease affects all the water soluble B vitamins and Vitamin C.  Thiamine and Niacin are required to produce energy for all the homocysteine lowering reactions provided by Folate, Cobalamine and Pyridoxine.   Weight gain with a voracious appetite is something I experienced while malnourished.  It's symptomatic of Thiamine B1 deficiency.   Conversely, some people with thiamine deficiency lose their appetite altogether, and suffer from anorexia.  At different periods on my lifelong journey, I suffered this, too.   When the body doesn't have sufficient thiamine to turn food, especially carbohydrates, into energy (for growth and repair), the body rations what little thiamine it has available, and turns the carbs into fat, and stores it mostly in the abdomen.  Consuming a high carbohydrate diet requires additional thiamine to process the carbs into energy.  Simple carbohydrates (sugar, white rice, etc.) don't contain thiamine, so the body easily depletes its stores of Thiamine processing the carbs into fat.  The digestive system communicates with the brain to keep eating in order to consume more thiamine and other nutrients it's not absorbing.   One can have a subclinical thiamine insufficiency for years.  A twenty percent increase in dietary thiamine causes an eighty percent increase in brain function, so the symptoms can wax and wane mysteriously.  Symptoms of Thiamine insufficiency include stunted growth, chronic fatigue, and Gastrointestinal Beriberi (diarrhea, abdominal pain), heart attack, Alzheimer's, stroke, and cancer.   Thiamine improves bone turnover.  Thiamine insufficiency can also affect the thyroid.  The thyroid is important in bone metabolism.  The thyroid also influences hormones, like estrogen and progesterone, and menopause.  Vitamin D, at optimal levels, can act as a hormone and can influence the thyroid, as well as being important to bone health, and regulating the immune system.  Vitamin A is important to bone health, too, and is necessary for intestinal health, as well.   I don't do dairy because I react to Casein, the protein in dairy that resembles gluten and causes a reaction the same as if I'd been exposed to gluten, including high tTg IgA.  I found adding mineral water containing calcium and other minerals helpful in increasing my calcium intake.   Malabsorption of Celiac affects all the vitamins and minerals.  I do hope you'll talk to your doctor and dietician about supplementing all eight B vitamins and the four fat soluble vitamins because they all work together interconnectedly.

      Hi Jane: You may want to try the D3 I now take. I have reactions to fillers and many additives. Sports Research, it is based in the USA and I have had no bad reactions with this brand. The D3 does have coconut oil but it is non GMO, it is Gluten free, Soy free, Soybean free and Safflower oil free.  I have a cupboard full of supplements that did not agree with me -  I just keep trying and have finally settled on Sports Research. I take NAKA Women's Multi full spectrum, and have not felt sick after taking 2 capsules per day -  it is a Canadian company. I buy both from Amazon. I wish you well in your searching, I know how discouraging it all is. Florence.

      highly unlikely  NOTHING and I mean NOTHING else has ever caused me these kinds of symptoms I have no problem with dates, they are a large part of my diet In fact, I eat a very high fiber, very high vegetable and bean diet and have for many years now. It's considered a whole foods plant based or plant forward diet (I do now eat some lean ground turkey but not much) I was off dairy for years but recently had to add back plain yogurt to meet calcium needs that I am not allowed to get from supplements (I have not had any problem with the yogurt)   I eat almost no processed foods. I don't eat out. almost everything I eat, I cook myself I am going to keep a food diary but to be honest, I already know that it's wheat products and also barley that are the problem, which is why I gradually stopped eating and buying them. When I was eating them, like back in early 2024, when I was in the middle of moving and ate out (always had bread or toast or rolls or a sub or pizza) I felt terrible but at that time was so busy and exhausted that I never stopped to think it was the food. Once I was in my new place, I continued to have bread from time to time and had such horrible joint pain that I was preparing for 2 total knee replacements as well as one hip! The surgery could not go forward as I was (and still am) actively losing calcium from my bones. That problem has yet to be properly diagnosed and treated   anyway over time I realized that I felt better when I stopped eating bread. Back at least 3 yrs ago I noticed that regular pasta made me sick so I switched to brown rice pasta and even though it costs a lot more, I really like it.   so gradually I just stopped buying and eating foods with gluten. I stopped getting raisin bran when I was constipated because it made me bloated and it didn't help the constipation any more (used to be a sure bet that it would in the past)   I made cookies and brownies using beans and rolled oats and dates and tahini and I LOVE them and have zero issues eating those I eat 1 or more cans of beans per day easily can eat a pound of broccoli - no problem! Brussels sprouts the same thing.   so yeh it's bread and related foods that are clearly the problem  there is zero doubt in my mind
