I'm Working On Realizing Coincidents According To Celestine Prophecy

That was really weird what happened to me today. I don't know, if you guys have heard about the books of Celestine's Prophecy. I already read them almost 10 years ago and found them very interesting. And now, that the first Celestine movie will come into the movie theaters this spring I thought I kind of reread the books and work with the exercise books again. First it teaches you to realize energy flows, auras and to recognize weird coincidents.

Well, I thought, this was pretty weird today while I went shopping. I found something that I first promised to look for, but then forgot about it.

Actually I was looking for a cheap pair of sneakers. So on my "cheap-sneaker-mission" I went from looking for them from Kohl's and BonTon to Ross. By the time I was searching the aisles in Ross I suddenly felt really nauseous and looked for the bathroom. When I left the bathroom I went back the same way and as I passed the one aisle I looked to the right upper shelf. Not only did I look there by incident, but from the 100 books or so the ONE book was standing right there with the cover towards me:

"The gluten, wheat & dairy free cookbook"

I stopped for a moment and then I was grabbing this book like I was crazy or so, afraid somebody else could grab it, before I could. Speechless I realized, that this was the one and only of its kind standing in this shelf and this shop. How rare, normally you would have to order them or look in specialty food stores like Healthy Grocer or so for them. I didn't mention the coolest thing yet. Two days ago I found out the son of somebody in the JuJitsu class has all symptoms of celiac disease. His dad although concentrated on sugar and maybe lactose free, only his mom seamed to be convinced, that this is celiac, when I talked to her about it. So I gave them a little brochure I had for a while, but in my opinion is very poor written. And I mentioned to them, that I will look for something, that explains the link from lactoseintolerant to celiac, but then I forgot about it. And today my way passed miraculously THIS book. Of course I bought it, it also only was 5.29 dollars.

What a sign...lol!

That's funny Stef,

I probably had that exact same book in my hands about a week ago. After going to the matinee of Narnia, my wife convinced me to walk across the parking lot to TJ Maxx and Ross's where I picked up the book. I didn't buy it - In fact I got distracted by some BBQ books, and then some nice cookware Robin was picking out.

Good deals at those stores!

Just to clarify, I forgot my signature doesn't say we are living in Carlisle. When I said the exact same book, I literally meant it :D

      Increased intraepithelial lymphocytes after 10 yrs gluten-free

      Hi @Atl222 As @trents points out, there could be many reasons for this biopsy result. I am interested to know, is your gastroenterologist concerned? Also, are your blood tests showing steady improvement over the years? I remember when I had my last biopsy, several years after diagnosis, mine came back with with raised lymphocytes but no villous...

      Increased intraepithelial lymphocytes after 10 yrs gluten-free

      Welcome to the celiac.com community, @Atl222! Yes, your increased lymphocytes could be in response to oats or it could possibly be cross contamination from gluten that is getting into your diet from some unexpected source but not enough to damage the villi. And I'm certain that increased lymphocytes can be caused by other things besides celiac disease...

      Brown Rice Vinegar (organic) from Eden Foods is likely gluten free

      This is a solid, well-reasoned approach. You’re right that “koji” by itself doesn’t indicate gluten status, and the risk really does come down to which grain is used to culture it. The fact that you directly contacted Eden Foods and received a clear statement that their koji is made from rice only, with no wheat or barley, is meaningful due diligence—especia...

      nothing has changed

      Seven months can still be early in celiac healing, especially if you were mostly asymptomatic to begin with—symptoms like low iron, vitamin D deficiency, nail changes, and hair issues often take much longer to improve because the gut needs time to recover before absorption normalizes. A tTG-IgA of 69 is not “low” in terms of immune activity, and it can t...

      Hi @Atl222 As @trents points out, there could be many reasons for this biopsy result.  I am interested to know, is your gastroenterologist concerned?  Also, are your blood tests showing steady improvement over the years? I remember when I had my last biopsy, several years after diagnosis, mine came back with with raised lymphocytes but no villous damage, too! In my own case, my consultant wasn't remotely concerned - in fact, he said I might still get this result even if all I ever did was eat nothing but rice and water.   My coeliac blood tests were still steadily improving, albeit slowly, which was reassuring.

      Welcome to the celiac.com community, @Atl222! Yes, your increased lymphocytes could be in response to oats or it could possibly be cross contamination from gluten that is getting into your diet from some unexpected source but not enough to damage the villi. And I'm certain that increased lymphocytes can be caused by other things besides celiac disease or gluten/oats exposure. See attachment. But you might try eliminating oats to start with and possibly dairy for a few months and then seek another endoscopy/biopsy to see if there was a reduction in lymphocyte counts.

The fact that you directly contacted Eden Foods and received a clear statement that their koji is made from rice only, with no wheat or barley, is meaningful due diligence—especially since Eden has a long-standing reputation for transparency. While the lack of gluten labeling can understandably give pause, manufacturer confirmation like this is often what people rely on for traditionally fermented products. As always, trusting your body after trying it is reasonable, but based on the information you gathered, your conclusion makes sense.

      Seven months can still be early in celiac healing, especially if you were mostly asymptomatic to begin with—symptoms like low iron, vitamin D deficiency, nail changes, and hair issues often take much longer to improve because the gut needs time to recover before absorption normalizes. A tTG-IgA of 69 is not “low” in terms of immune activity, and it can take 12–24 months (sometimes longer) for antibodies and the intestinal lining to fully heal, particularly in teens and young adults. Eating gluten again to “test” things isn’t recommended and won’t give you clear answers—it’s far more likely to cause harm than clarity. Weight not changing is also very common in celiac and doesn’t rule anything out. Please know that your frustration and sadness matter; this adjustment is hard, and feeling stuck can really affect mental health. You deserve support, and if you can, reaching out to a GI dietitian or mental health professional familiar with chronic illness could really help you through this phase. This study indicates that a majority of celiacs don't recover until 5 years after diagnosis and starting a gluten-free diet: Mucosal recovery and mortality in adults with celiac disease after treatment with a gluten-free diet However, it's also possible that what the study really shows is the difficulty in maintaining a 100% gluten-free diet. I suspect that if you looked closely at the diets of those who did not recover within 2 years might be that their diets were not 100% gluten-free. Perhaps they ate out more often, or didn't understand all of the hidden ingredients where gluten can hide. Either way, it shows how difficult recovery from celiac disease can be for most people.
