> I've had cravings for 'wheat' in the last 4-5 months. Not sure why. Just can't seem to get enough Triscuits and Wheat Thins! A doc thought celiac dz should be ruled out, butt . . .
**********Anyway, this guy (I can look up his website if anyone is interested) said that he'd helped numerous people overcome celiac. He said there's only been ONE person who didn't get better. And THIS freaked me out - makes me believe even more than I already do about how powerful our mind/emotions are....the lady who did NOT get better was the President of a Celiac Society in the U.S. What about that eh? If she got better & wasn't gluten intolerant any more WHAT WOULD SHE BE???? Her whole life would be turned around!!!!!!!
Anyway, I've digressed big-time. Your symptoms are certainly the same as celiac. The best way in your case to check it out is just NOT eat gluten. If you're really doing a serious check you'll have to read labels like heck! Wheat is in all kinds of things you might not suspect. It's in a lot of processed foods. If you decide to do this, check all tins & packages. At the very least, I'd suggest cutting out wheat. As I said, gluten is in Wheat, oats, rye & barley. I think that's it. You can get yummy rice crackers Cora. They're a bit more expensive I think, but you can also get brown rice pasta, which my family likes better than regular. If you decide to do it & have ANY questions or need support in it, please feel free to ask me.
I have read & heard in the past, that often if we crave a certain food, it indicates that we are either allergic to it, or have built up an intolerance to it. We can sometimes begin to react to the foods that we eat ALL THE TIME & LOTS OF THEM!!! I guess that rules out tomatoes for me! As well as tea, cheese & lots of stuff!
Anyway, if I were in your situation I think I'd cut out wheat - probably gluten altogether for at least 7 days. I'm sure there's info on this issue on the internet, but I'm here too.*******

> I've never been 'so hurt' by a doctor and I've taken on a negative attitude towards all of my doctors, after this experience.****Of coures - that makes total sense. Esp. for your inner little kid. They are NOT SAFE & they're bigger than her & have all kinds of power!!! Please write her a little note if you feel so inclinded, telling her you hear her & know her pain & that you're also VERY upset at the way you 2 have been treated.*********

> I feel so violated! This experience felt like abuse. I'm so angry. It's going to take something to get past this, maybe time, forgiveness, or filing a complaint; I'm not sure.****Cora, it WAS abuse. In my not-very-humble-opinion it was emotional abuse & physical abuse at LEAST. If there's such a thing, it was "a-professional-abusing-his-position-of-power" abuse also. At some point you might write a letter saying exACTly what you wish you'd said to him.....the secret is you know you're not going to actually post it, so you end up saying whatEVER you need to say!!!! I've found this a really good healing tool. I even used it in writing my Dad a letter & he'd been dead for years! LOL I put it in an envelope & wrote his first name on it, sealed it & put it in the post box. And even at that - my heart was racing & it was scarey!! But it really helped.***
> (I'm used to abuse so I didn't react as I should have when it happened.)
******I hope you aren't doing a negative judgement on yourself. "Should have" - 'would have if I hadn't experienced abuse' might be more accurate.******
> My daughter was angry. She called me the next day to ask if I was going to file a complaint.
>
> I kind of know how the State Board of Medical Examiners works, and one complaint 'is nothing' on a doc's record. And, this is especially true if he is as successful as this doctor.*******Nevertheless, you are certainly NOT the first person he's treated with disrespect. If every one of you said that one complaint is nothing, he'd get NO complaints. Who knows how many he has already.********* If I had the 'bucks', I would turn to the law.
>
> Hopefully I can find a natural supplement that will help me. Think I'm still 'in shock' right now. I feel angry at the whole world, and I don't like it. I take it out on the loved ones around me. I feel bad.********Please tell me if I'm being too pushy! I'd suggest you check the Alternative Board. There's a post I started on something called TAT. The website for this method (which if FREE - you do it yourself - & easy & non-traumatic) is: www.tatlife.com*******

> It's interesting you picked up on the 'little girl inside', as she is devastated! It's so hard to 'care for her' ... when you go to great lengths to find someone to care and they abuse you.******Oh yeah. Big-you is probably really guilty somewhere inside. Little-you is probably confused & lots of things. Have you ever done any non-dominant-hand writing to your inner child? Ask me if you're interested in knowing about it...or anyone else can also.******

*******You're welcome Cora. I'm such a "babbler" - but I guess that's OK here!!!???
Sometimes I worry that people will think "Oh there's Kath again expounding & acting as if she knows everything. I'm really insecure about that, so please people, tell me if I'm stepping over the boundaries of what is O.K.
love, Kath*****
