Gluten Free Me!

       Lately I have been trying a new diet.  A diet that has really helped me in the last few months.  It is really popular so I decided to give the gluten free diet a try.  At first there was no concern for me being allergic to gluten, but I thought that it was not a bad choice to include a more healthy diet. For me there is no substitute for home made bread, well any kind of bread is so delicious so it was difficult for me to give up, but it is definitely worth the effort. I have been getting compliments on how clear my face has been, my fatigue has lessened and I feel so much better during the day.
      I do not write this article because it is popular topic, I write this post because cutting down on my gluten has really been a help to me and I want to encourage others to try the diet as well.  My syndrome effects my learning process and I believe that the diet has helped clear my brain fog a little. Now it is no miracle diet by any means, but my overall health has improved and am very thankful for that.  It disturbs me however, that, no one ever linked my food habits to my learning or my acne.  I am thankful for the medication that I received but knowing about this diet earlier could have cut down on alot of the redness on my face. At least I know now how to keep my face clear and will try to be doing that in the future.
       Gluten effects people in different ways.  There are some people who can not even eat gluten free products that were cooked in the same pot as regular wheat.  Then there are some people who can tolerate a certain amount of bread without suffering painful consequences.  I am allergic to bread but am able to eat it without going to the hospital.  Only some stomach pains and a few acne, to which I am thankful.  I hope I can encourage someone else to try and eat a healthier diet by writing this post. t
       Lots of people may not believe that I am intolerant to wheat because I have eaten it all my life, but we did not realize how gluten was effecting my health as a whole.  I love my bread and and feel very blessed that I can tolerate some because that food item has always been a part of my meal.  However with the positive results I am getting from not eating bread quite so often.  I am learning how to fry foods with gluten free flour and hope to continue cooking like that.
        Hope this blog post has helped you understand how I have dealt with changing my diet, it has been a difficult path to follow but am pleased with the results I am receiving.  Nothing will ever change the taste of regular bread or instant oatmeal.  Nothing will ever change the taste of a nice fast food hamburger.  I am still able to eat them, but am conscious about how many I eat.  I try to only eat those foods as a reward for eating healthy. Again, this diet has really helped me and feel blessed to be able to write this article.

Terrific Tuesday

2 Peter 1King James Version (KJV) 1 Simon Peter, a servant and an apostle of Jesus Christ, to them that have obtained like precious faith with us through the righteousness of God and our Saviour Jesus Christ: 2 Grace and peace be multiplied unto you through the knowledge of God, and of Jesus our Lord, 3 According as his divine power hath given unto us all things that pertain unto life and godliness, through the knowledge of him that hath called us to glory and virtue: 4 Whereby are given unto us exceeding great and precious promises: that by these ye might be partakers of the divine nature, having escaped the corruption that is in the world through lust. 5 And beside this, giving all diligence, add to your faith virtue; and to virtue knowledge; 6 And to knowledge temperance; and to temperance patience; and to patience godliness; 7 And to godliness brotherly kindness; and to brotherly kindness charity. 8 For if these things be in you, and abound, they make you that ye shall n...

Fantastic Friday

“To make this as simple as possible, let me say it this way: justification is all about Jesus. Jesus’ work, not our works, saves us. Jesus’ life, not our own life, is our hope. Jesus’ death, not our religious works, is our payment. Jesus alone forgives sin. So, we’re to repent of our sin to Jesus. Jesus alone gives righteousness. So we trust in Jesus for our justification. Our justification is not accomplished in any part by our own work, morality, or religious devotion. Justification is accomplished by Jesus plus nothing, and Jesus plus anything ruins everything.”   Mark Driscoll “Sometimes we’re so focused on our desired blessings that we fail to stop and thank God by remembering the blessings we already have in Christ .” Mark Driscoll    Behold, what manner of love the Father hath bestowed upon us, that we should be called the sons of God: therefore the world knoweth us not, because it knew him not. 1 John 3:1 Prayer-- Lord, help me realize that the World d...

Ten Ways I Stay Motivated

1.  Start the day with prayer or meditation. 2. Brew a good cup of coffee. 3.  Go over my list of goals. 4.  Set new goals ones the old ones are accomplished. 5.  Listen to motivational podcasts or youtube videos. 6.  Read biographies of people who have survived cancer or some amazing trauma.  This helps to remind me that no problem is too big for God. 7.  I try to look in the mirror and say affirmations every morning.  Some of these affirmations are the same ones and some are different.  8. Try to keep a good, constant routine. 9.  Write or draw in my journal. 10.  Reward myself for accomplishments.  After all, you deserve it. Hope you have a wonderful week !!
