ARCHIVED Taking Communion At New Church And Dh
brizzo replied to brizzo's topic in Dermatitis Herpetiformis
I'm done ... you win! I can point you to hundreds of posts where they have "gotten off topic" from gluten. This happens to just one of them. I can't count the amount of times the last post in a 3 page thread has had NOTHING to do with the main topic, or even venture off course a bit. Nothing in this thread is any different. It just happens to be about... -

I am having a mature conversation with adults that I happen to respect. There is no "ugliness" here. What else is off limits here?....... Abortion, politics, talking bad about communist China! How childish! Where is this healthy or right....... Are you a moderator on this forum?..... -

Purple ,,,,,I STAND CORRECTED!!!!!!!! The term communion IS in the bible, I did not select all versions on my search! But I did find some very interesting things. Out of the 19 versions of the bible that I found...4 use the term communion, 15 use blessing or thanks, in the scripture you referenced. Here they are I Corinthians 10:16 message version-the... -

brizzo replied to brizzo's topic in Dermatitis Herpetiformis
purple, I always reference back to the original language, Greek and Hebrew. This is where we can find the original word of God. I agree with you and your reference that the Bible can be lost in translation. This is why I referenced the original Greek for you. I agree with you on the idea that things can be lost in translation. I believe this is what has happened... -

James tells us the same thing here in Chapter 2. Faith and Deeds 14What good is it, my brothers, if a man claims to have faith but has no deeds? Can such faith save him? 15Suppose a brother or sister is without clothes and daily food. 16If one of you says to him, "Go, I wish you well; keep warm and well fed," but does nothing about his physical needs... -

Debmidge. I understand that you are concerned that "the laws of nature" will make me ill. If we were talking about "sneaking a little pizza and beer" now and then, I would absolutely agree with you. You also stated that you understand my faith. I am not totally sure that you do. If God asks us to do something. We should do it with faith that he will protect... -

My Grandmother has been smoking since she was 12 years old. She is 80 and still mows her own yard with a push mower. No medical problems I know a man who was 42. Never smoke, never drank, ate right, and worked out daily. He died of cancer. I am going to smoke, drink rum, eat high fat red meats, lots of fruits and veggies, and take no medicines... -

Purple, I have asked myself these questions before... I once believed as you did, I am not a cradle lutheran. I also would like you to know that I agree with you about not trying to convert each others beliefs or attack. I think that it is great that we can have discussions civilly about the Bible. I actually enjoy it! =) Here is what took me many years... -
ARCHIVED Has Anyone Else Gone Crazy Over This?

Msau22, read my "signature" at the bottom this page.....specifically the part about the "new test". That's all you need........ As far as feeling "alone" in this ...you aren't....how many members are on this board?????... u see my point. If you feel that people just "don't understand"...pardon my french .....**** em'! It's like this........I... -
ARCHIVED Taking Communion At New Church And Dh
brizzo replied to brizzo's topic in Dermatitis Herpetiformis
purple, I respect your opinion, but differ in mine. Yes, I believe that we are saved by grace through faith alone, in christ alone. But even though the Bible seems to put ALOT of weight on Baptism and confession/repentance also. This is how God "works" our salvation. Not by our "works" . But following the commandment of Christ. "... baptism now SAVES... -

Demidge, ...I tell you the truth, unless you eat the flesh of the Son of Man and drink his blood, you have no life in you. Whoever eats my flesh and drinks my blood has eternal life, and I will raise him up at the last day -
Hey all, just wanted to get a poll on all my DH'ers out there. How long, after an accidental gluten ingestion, does it take for your DH to start flaring up?

brizzo replied to brizzo's topic in Dermatitis Herpetiformis
my church has 300 members, and yes my pastor knows about my "wheat allergy" , but I told him that I didn't want to be segregated apart from the rest of the church during communion. As far as not getting disease when I get older, etc... just a couple of FYI's 1. I am a paramedic, I know what smoking does to a person..... yet I smoke. So, I guess my... -
ARCHIVED Celiac With Negative Test Results?
brizzo replied to Marleigh's topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
I had a negative blood test. I suspect it was because I was gluten free for 3 months prior to the test. Therefore, no antibodies to gluten. Keep eating that gluten at least until you test, in order to get accurate results. My dr wanted me to go back on Gluten for 30 days to test again. NO WAY!!!! I am not going through a month of torture!!!! Just to conclude... -
I recieve the wafer once a week, and that's the only time I cheat. So far so good. But everybody is different. Yes, I understand that I am still causing intestinal damage, but I "carry my cross." Best wishes. Brizzo

ARCHIVED Any Stores That Have Gluten Free Foods?
brizzo replied to pohangbound's topic in Traveling with Celiac Disease
I am sorry to hear that gluten can be fatal to you. That is awful. I have not heard of this before. WOW! Have you considered a special diet called the "cave man diet." It is basically meat, fruit,veggies, nuts/legumes, and some people include dairy. Do you have any other food intolerances/allergies? If not , check out the cave man diet. It is healthy... -

Random thoughts............ As a result of the fuse that this issue is causing (one that I did not intend to light!) , I sincerely apologize. To anybody who thinks that I am crazy, I am sorry. Some people think that riding a motorcycle is crazy, and I do that too. And just FYI, I am not against taking a "rice " wafer, etc . I don't believe that unleavened... -

Thanks guys, you all have great comments and I appreciate them all. And yes, I have been out for a while. But it's good to be back! I do agree with those of you that say, that there is definitely intestinal damage being done by 1 wafer every week, Wether my external DH symptoms "flare up", or not. I don't disagree with that one bit! But I also know that... -

ALL STORES have MANY gluten free options. Fruits Vegetables Meat Most Dairy Regular potato/corn chips can goods ice creams and on and on... Just READ THOSE LABELS!!!! Why pay 200% more for a special "gluten free" product, if you don't have to. And you don't...JUST READ THOSE LABELS! -
ARCHIVED Shampoos Detergents And Soap
brizzo replied to mona-norton's topic in Dermatitis Herpetiformis
I know that there is a lot of people on here who will scream at me for saying this but here goes... Unless you are eating the soap/shampoo/ect.. You can use whatever you want. DH is caused by antibodies getting attached to gluten proteins in the bloodstream via the digestive track (vie eating/drinking). After these antibodies attach themselves to the gluten... -
Hey guys, I have been DH sufferer and gluten-free for almost three years. I just wanted to talk about this experience for anybody that may have had the same concerns as me regarding taking communion/sacrament/or whatever your particular church might call it. Long story short. I have been a protestant christian my whole life. I started passing along, or...
