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.

      Accuracy of testing concerns

      Welcome to the celiac.com community, @McKinleyWY! There currently is no testing for celiac disease that does not require you to have been consuming generous amounts of gluten (at least 10g daily, about the amount in 4-6 slices of wheat bread) for at least two weeks and, to be certain of accurate testing, longer than that. This applies to both phases...

      Accuracy of testing concerns

      Hello all, I was diagnosed at the age of 2 as being allergic to yeast. All my life I have avoided bread and most products containing enriched flour as they contain yeast (when making the man made vitamins to add back in to the flour). Within the last year or so, we discovered that even whole wheat products bother me but strangely enough I can eat...

      A little about me and my celiac disease

      I know what you mean. When I get glutened I have severe gut cramps and throw up for 2-3 hr. and then have diarrhea for another several hours. Avoid eating out if at all possible. It is the number one source of gluten contamination for us celiacs. When you are forced to eat out at a new restaurant that you are not sure is safe, try to order things that you...

      Accuracy of testing concerns

      By trents · Posted

      Welcome to the celiac.com community, @McKinleyWY! There currently is no testing for celiac disease that does not require you to have been consuming generous amounts of gluten (at least 10g daily, about the amount in 4-6 slices of wheat bread) for at least two weeks and, to be certain of accurate testing, longer than that. This applies to both phases of testing, the blood antibody tests and the endoscopy with biopsy.  There is the option of genetic testing to see if you have one or both of the two genes known to provide the potential to develop celiac disease. It is not really a diagnostic measure, however, as 30-40% of the general population has one or both of these genes whereas only about 1% of the general population actually develops celiac disease. But genetic testing is valuable as a rule out measure. If you don't have either of the genes, it is highly unlikely that you can have celiac disease. Having said all that, even if you don't have celiac disease you can have NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity) which shares many of the same symptoms as celiac disease but does not involve and autoimmune reaction that damages the lining of the small bowel as does celiac disease. Both conditions call for the complete elimination of gluten from the diet. I hope this brings some clarity to your questions.

      Hello all, I was diagnosed at the age of 2 as being allergic to yeast.  All my life I have avoided bread and most products containing enriched flour as they  contain yeast (when making the man made vitamins to add back in to the flour).  Within the last year or so, we discovered that even whole wheat products bother me but strangely enough I can eat gluten free bread with yeast and have no reactions.  Obviously, we have come to believe the issue is gluten not yeast.  Times continues to reinforce this as we are transitioning to a gluten free home and family.  I become quite ill when I consume even the smallest amount of gluten. How will my not having consumed breads/yeast/gluten for the better part of decades impact a biopsy or blood work?  I would love to know if it is a gluten intolerance or a genetic issue for family members but unsure of the results given my history of limited gluten intake.   I appreciate the input from those who have gone before me in experience and knowledge. Thank you all!

It is the number one source of gluten contamination for us celiacs. When you are forced to eat out at a new restaurant that you are not sure is safe, try to order things that you can be sure will not get cross contaminated like a boiled egg, baked potatos, steamed vegies, fresh fruit. Yes, I know that doesn't sound as appetizing as pizza or a burger and fries but your health is at stake. I also realize that as a 14 year old you don't have a lot of control over where you eat out because you are tagging along with others or adults are paying for it. Do you have support from your parents concerning your need to eat gluten free? Do you believe they have a good understanding of the many places gluten can show up in the food supply?
