    Yesterday, my family went to a prayer meeting for a friend with vasculitis, an Auto Immune disease. He has had very obvious problems and was hospitalized twice and once it was for a very long time. The prayer meeting was patterned after James 5. (Bible)
     
    After arriving home, my husband talked with the children if they thought a prayer meeting like that is a good thing. They affirmed that it was a good thing. Then he asked if we should have one. They could not ...

    Here I go again. I think I am going through the same old series of happenings that I go through every time I begin a new phase of attempting to heal.
     
    I begin: New supplements
    : New diet change or
    : New excercise plan
     
    I begin with enthusiasm. I feel better. I get overwhelmed with the work, but I go on hoping that I can maintain the really better feeling. Finally, I realize the good feeling has been gone for a long time. I don't know w...

    Source: I Am New To Pancreatic Enzymes And Recently Started Rotational Diet
  4. 1desperateladysaved
    For 8 months I have been gluten free. For 6 months I have been grain free. Shortly after I began the diet I began to seek after tests to optimize my healing.
     
    I struggled with what tests to do. Who should do the tests? Would my insurance cover the tests? I had a huge deductible with the insurance company with the Health Account now gone.
     
     
    However, I am finally ready. This Friday night I will stop my life saving supplements for 4 days. Next Mo...

    In my second year of college (at 19 That would be 1982)., I fell ill with mono-nucleosis. I slept for up to 20 hours a day and was still tired. A month or so later, my blood tested normal, so I returned to college in an attempt to catch up and finish the quarter. Sleep still did not refresh me. I dragged myself to class. Sometimes I could not cross the campus intime for the next class.
     
    Then, I came down with pleurosy ("The old lady's disease) and spent more time ...

    I noticed upon awaking today that my tongue, abdomen and thighs were swollen. My tongue was also dry. I dunned my gloves and mask and rewashed the dishes from last night. I just didn't feel secure that there wasn't still gluten clinging to them.
     
    I am glad that inspite of the swelled up feeling my mind seems clear still today.
     
    The family got out the wheat eggrolls for lunch, while I was yet in the room. I demanded that the eggrolls go outside immedietly. ...

    My family didn't like the idea of yet another diet change! They didn't see how fatigued or foggy I felt. I must admit the whole thing seems a bit unbelievable.
     
    After hearing 30 years of my complaints my husband turned a deaf ear to my supposed health problems. Here I was trying to follow a 100% gluten diet without support.
     
    I heard it might get better. Then my husband told me he regretted telling me about the forum. I was finding ideas that were n...

    I say that I am back from Nowhere. Actually I existed right here. I stayed mostly in a house. Everyday I woke up in the morning and felt as exhausted as when I lay down the night before. Throughout the day I dragged my feet and used my cloudy mind to think of ways to make life seem easy again. I placed my refrigerator on cement blocks. I could reach the lower shelves that way. I couldn't squat down like my friends did, because I needed to breath!
     
    Nowhere overtook ...

    I learned a few things from a Functional Medicine nurse I visited with the other day.
     
    The adrenal glands manufacture a substance called cortisol which helps the body deal with stress. On the day of my nutrient absorption test, I tested as not having the nutrients to build cortisol. My system was depressed having had to fight celiac disease for 30 years. This depressed was a physical thing. It didn't even consider any emotional trauma I was suffering. If you have ...

    I have always emphasized eating to be healthy and did not focus on my weight or figure. I am somewhere around a month (?) into my rotational diet and also began pancreatic enzymes and vitamin B recently. My weight began at around 200 6 years back. I lost 30 lbs when I began a supplement program with my chiropractor. My weight had become relatively stable at 170. That seemed an okay weight at 5'7" since I am nearing 50 years old.
     
    The last week I've noticed ...

    I was in the kitchen, just minding my own business: the dishes. I had already put in a full day, or had I? For over a week, I had been suffering from a cold. The cold wasn't too bad, but the fatigue was overwhelming. It seemed I could accomplish nothing. This night the family of 7's dishes, for the whole day, were stacked on the counter.
     
    It was too much for me, I ran into the pantry, shut the door and asked, how can I keep going? My daughter, that used to do ...

    Skipity Do Da

    By 1desperateladysaved,

    Today my older children were going out. My husband gave some money for our little ones (going with) to go out to eat . My 24 year-old daughter groaned. I have had to go out to eat too much lately. My acne really flares up when I do.
     
    I carefully exited the room. I
    gently climbed the stairs. Lastly, I skipped down the hall at top speed!
     
    My oldest daughter has also been marveling about some of the dishes I have been making. First, she liked the b...

    The Dentist

    By 1desperateladysaved,

    Five years back I had my last talk with my dentist. He told me that maybe I had an Autoimmune disease. Wow! That sounded big, but what could it mean? I didn't bother to look it up. I thought that maybe I was falling apart from the inside out. It seemed to me that I was dying; why go to a dentist? I needed to get to the bottom of my health problems and try to get back to living--- insides first. I began to work with my friend the chiropractor who had brought me back...

    It was to be my 5 year outing. That time when Mom goes to do her own thing. I was finally going to find some celiacs with live faces to share stories with. :)
     
    I figured out who would take care of the little ones. I scrambled to make a special homemade pizza which would be done before I left. This was my first pizza in a long while since crust, tomato sauce and cheese don't work.
     
    Finally the pizza was done, but alas it...

    My first blog never quite got in before it was gone. I worked so long and hard at it that I couldn't start over. Someday, I would like to put it in. But for now, I am jumping in here.
     
    Four months gluten free:
     
    Things are going a bit better with the family. They are cooking foods which I can't eat/smell outside.
     
    My husband is starting to notice a dramatic change in my irritability and reaction to stress. Infact, things have slid off like water of...
