I'm number 136 on the waiting list at the library. It's going to be a long time before I get my hands on this book :)

I'm about 1/2 way through it and it is a tough read. It is of a philosophical nature and I need to re-read quite a few of the passages twice-so it is slow going.

I really have felt a shift in the way I am thinking about things and have felt a release of the negative thoughts within myself.

If you haven't started or are just at the beginning phase of the book-give it a fair shot-it is a hard book to get into but well worth it.

I can't wait to read about all of your thoughts about this book. Did anyone sign-up for the on-line course?

I like it so far. I like the things it's reminding me of. I'm about 70 pages in.

So far, for me, it has tones of As A Man Thinketh & The Seven Spiritual Laws of Success.

I think you kind of have to take the chapters like pieces of the puzzle in the beginning.

I'm sure it has wonderful food for thought if you're up for that sort of thing. Me, I'm kind of ready for something that reminds me what I want for myself in life - what's important to me.

Yeah, it's another one of those books. I'm another one of those people.

I'm 3/4 through the book.

In regards to the book:

I stopped posting to the forum a few weeks ago.

That was a good decision for me. I didn't remember why, but now I do.

Speaking of the pain-body* (a name this book gives it),

it feels good to be Present again.

*Just so nobody misunderstands, I'm not insulting the forum. What wasn't working for me was the connection that I had to it. I recognize, at the same time that this forum (@Celiac.com) is such that there are many types of people and many different belief systems included in the collective body, and that I may seem to be a loon. On the subject of the collective body, this forum, also, is not, for me, an appropriate forum for discussing the teachings of this book (not that it would be beckoned, I would assume). I think this forum is useful and necessary and a wonderful outlet, a way to connect with others that understand, and a place where people can learn, and it has been for me, at times, as well.

Summed up:

I would recommend this book to anyone who doesn't think this stuff is hogwash.

I've read to Chapter 9. At that point, I felt like going back & kind of digesting it slowly from the beginning again. I'm not in a big hurry to 'finish' the book. Having read most of it, it's made such a difference in the flow of my days and how I react to life that I just wanted to go back & read it again. I'll finish it when it feels right. I'm in the middle of Chapter 2 again now.

It's not the kind of book that I would want to blaze through & get done with.

I downloaded the on-line class the day after it aired (Chapter 1). I'll do the same with Chapter 2.

And, I just wanted to mention the section in Chapter 1 called "The Purpose of this book" . In the beginning of the read, this is a very important section.

Every time I pick up the book I experience something more than I did the last time. For me, this book is better than any that I've read with similar lessons in the past. I had forgotten the lessons of the others & this book brought them all back & more.

      My journey is it gluten or fiber?

      Try adding some Thiamine Hydrochloride (thiamine HCl) and see if there's any difference. Thiamine HCl uses special thiamine transporters to get inside cells. I take it myself. Tryptophan will help heal the intestines. Tryptophan is that amino acid in turkey that makes you sleepy after Thanksgiving dinner. I take mine with magnesium before bedtime...

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

      I live in the upper mid-west and was just diagnosed with marsh 3c celiac less than a month ago. As a 51 year old male, I now take a couple of different gluten free vitamins. I have not noticed any reaction to either of these items. Both were purchased from Amazon. 1. Nature Made Multivitamin For Him with No Iron 2. Gade Nutrition Organic Quercetin...

      results from 13 day gluten challenge - does this mean I can't have celiac?

      I am doing a gluten challenge right now and I bought vital wheat gluten so I can know exactly how much gluten I am getting. One tablespoon is 7g so 1½ tablespoons of Vital Wheat Gluten per day will get you to 10g You could add it to bean burgers as a binder or add to hot chocolate or apple sauce and stir.

      Supplements for those Diagnosed with Celiac Disease

      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 +
