Sorry I've been absent this week. On Wednesday I accidentally ingested gluten, so this week has been kind of crazy. I'm trying to calm my system down, but it is slow going and definitely requiring LOTS of work and concentration to do this without medicine.
Things that have saved my health, comfort, and sanity this week:
-Umeboshi Plums. No, actually. I'm so serious. I woke up at 5 AM Thursday morning so nauseated and in so much pain I didn't think I could handle it, but the plums calmed my stomach faster than any anti-emetic ever has.
-TLC. This channel is no-frills entertainment.
-Kuzu. My intestines have been painful and inflamed, and I've been soothing them with kuzu.
-In Harmony. I just discovered this healing center out in Leiper's Fork Tennessee, and it has been truly a blessing.
-God's love! The Lord is providing for you, even when things are painful and uncertain. I know that God is showing me the love and mercy of a father to his daughter and opening doors right now... I am living in that truth and know that what was intended for evil, God intends for good. Things are painful right now, but knowing that the worse things seem, the bigger God's plan makes me so thankful.
God has worked more healing this year through my struggle with celiac disease than I could have ever imagined. It's funny... two years ago I was so alone and mentally broken that I couldn't see how there was ever a way out. And I'll be real... this illness has been the biggest storm I've ever faced in my life, but through finding macrobiotics, my mind and spirit have found a calm and centeredness that I've never had in my life.
That being said, I ask you guys to please send your thoughts to healing if it's not too much trouble. I'm really struggling with pain and inflammation this week, and I really need the strength to steer away from sweet and inflammatory foods to healing foods. Thanks,
b
