You could lay down, take a year long nap, and when you wake up it's your time and your body is all healed? lol B)

I'm setting my alarm for Oct 2009. Cool! I just washed my sheets! :lol:

ni ni!

Honestly, I feel every day is a blessing even if I am sick. I almost died at birth, drowned but was revived at 9, almost died at 13 with a ruptured appendix and survived a horrible car accident. Clearly I have a purpose here. :) I hate being sick. But at my lowest and sickest point I asked God to help me be able to mother my daughter (she is now 12) and I feel that getting that privilege is worth staying positive. I dont want to miss a year of teaching her and watching her grow. I also wouldnt want to miss a year of snuggling with my husband every night and playing with my doggies everyday.

Your post reminded me of a dream I had not too long ago. I dreamed that I jumped out of an airplane and started floating through the beautiful star-lit sky. I kept saying, "I'm Free - I'm Free!" I was thinking of NOTHING but floating. I feel like Celiac Disease has consumed my life. I want to be free again!!

Yes there are days I feel like that and today was one of them. I deal with other illnesses also so today I had to get a 4 hour iv infusion for one and the nurse had a hard time finding the vain and since I have to do it again tomorrow she just let the cath in and it is in the top of my hand not a fun place. And to think I get to do this every month oh well such is life and it could be worse. I have many many blessing and I remember to thank God for them each day.

I'm not too frazzled....I just had to tell the seamstress not to take in the top yet because of my belly. She actually offered to have me come back tomorrow (Saturday) for the fitting, which she usually doesn't do because she works out of her house. So I took her up on the offer and have been eating very plain rice, chicken and plain veggies just to get the belly down (which it has).

Besides, I got everything done about 10 months ago because I know how I am (I'm very uptight) and didn't want to be too frazzled around this time. Just waiting for stupid RSVP's so I can do the place cards and need to find wrapping paper to wrap the bridal party's gifts in. The hardest part now, trying to not get contaminated from now until October 26th (when we come back from our honeymoon). That's what I'm most freeked out about! One week in Antigua...I hold my fiance to throw me on the beach and make sure that I'm stocked with Lara bars and fresh fruit and hopefully I'll come home not ill!

And I agree, we're all blessings. Shay, your picture should be of a cat, you have so many lives!!!!

I live in a town, so small there are only 5 or 6 stop signs and no stop lites. I shop in the big city 1 hour away. I am not a celiac. When I go to town I think of all you people that are gluten-free. I am mostly gluten-free. I drive past all the fast food places (none in our town) and other restaurants, thinking about how hard it is for you guys. I shop quickly down some of the store aisles b/c there is nothing there "we" can buy. I am thankful for all I have learned on here from you great teachers! My dd is gluten-free and the other dd (19/17)is trying to be and dairy/egg free. Celiacs are very strong even when the body is weak. If you asked a gluten eating person to just give it up...they couldn't, most anyway. I am so proud of everyone here!

My heart is heavy for all the children. They go through so much. Babies thru college kids. So hard. And moms.

I went shopping last night and chose to eat a banana and some chips instead of fast food. I realize how hard it is except I don't know your physical pain. Not only physical but emotional. The list goes on. Friends, family, relatives, co-workers, waiters, etc., don't get it b/c they don't walk in your shoes.

We are blessed b/c we are eating healthier. Gluten eaters don't know what all their food is doing to their bodies.

Just peek into other peoples carts. Picture the products as boxes and bags of chemicals with the green Mr. Yuck sticker on them. Poison. Toxic. Early death. Time bomb waiting to explode. We are blessed.

Think of starving kids that may only get a bowl of rice for the day. We are blessed. Think of concentration camp prisoners that only got bread and watery parsnip soup. Sickly bodies and in prison, losing all they had and knew. We are blessed.

I and my family are eating more healthy. We are blessed.

I have prayed for many of you. You are blessed.

I want to quote a bible verse.

Revelation 21:4

And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain; for the former things are passed away.

My prayer is that all of you will be included in this group called: "their"

My God's peace with you all. I love you guys!!! :)

Wow thank you purple, you brought tears to my eyes, I love that verse. I truly am blessed and I consider it a blessing to find out that I have celiac disease and I am no longer poisioning my body. Sometimes I miss certian foods but it passes and I am learning how to cook things that are better tasting. (still looking for fluffy yummy pancakes :lol: ).

      Oh yes I can understand the tiredness after going threw all that, must be exhausting especially on the mind I have high aniexty so I can understand that , I wish there more easier ways for people to get help , I had a MRI on my spine some years ago without anything it was really quick and no prep , I understand the need for  them to see better with the bowel ,but you think they would use something a little less traumatic  for ibd sufferers on the bowels by now ,I hope your feeling better today 🙏

      Celiac attack confusion and anxiety

      By Colleen H · Posted

      I wonder if tingling burning feet are part of it.. I'm not sure if it's the med reaction that people with gluten intolerance get or the food we ate  It's frustrating because a person who did not want to admit to himself I had this condition wanted me to eat this chicken sandwich and now I'm stuck with a variety of symptoms plus now I'm hungry on top of it..  I'm new to this so I forget that "one bite" of the wrong thing can hurt us.😔. Do we stop eating if someone exposed us to gluten ??  My stomach is rumbling but my joints hurt ...  It's weird because I can feel the anxiety coming on.  I get joint problems ,  I don't know if anyone ever got hot flashes?? I suppose if it affects people head to toes you can get that too.   It's weird...hard to decipher what is what.   Also how long do I have to deal with this attack??  Makes me feel like not getting up out of bed.  I get too many symptoms which  horrible.  Thank you for your response..

      still struggling with cravings

      By wellthatsfun · Posted

      as my last post stated, i was diagnosed via endoscopy on the 14th of june. i have been eating amazing home cooked meals, luckily, mainly cooked by my boyfriend who is extremely careful about contamination (and is an incredible cook at that). however, i find myself in a mental rut still. being 18, this is the time in my life where i should be exploring things, going out, having fun. yet every corner i turn i'm tortured by the amazing smell of something i can't have anymore. the wonderful sight of such yummy foods. it's near torture. if my boyfriend and his friend who lives with us buy something i can't have, they'll usually eat it outside of the house or the car or wherever we are - which is greatly appreciated - but even seeing a burger or chips or a sausage roll in their hands guts me almost beyond repair. i just wanna have it again too. i miss it. i feel left out and it makes me very sad all the time. it's not their fault. they are allowed to eat whatever they want to, whatever their intestines will allow. it just stings, bad. and i feel so ungrateful given i basically have a private chef who is doubly the love of my life. but it's just so hard. i know i'll adapt. i haven't given up hope.i just wanted to vent. thank you for reading

      Toothpaste question.

      Thank you. I must have misinterpreted a study or something. Thank you for the clarification. Much appreciated. Almost three years into my celiac diagnosis and I'm still learning new things.
