This sounds easy enough and yet I find it one of the hardest things to do consistently! Today at the doctor’s office, I found out that I have 3 months to practice getting really good at it! It was confirmed through biopsies and blood work – that Celiac is a part of how God made me. And since I am just now discovering this at 46, I have a few other issues that need to be healed that are a direct result of not knowing. And when you know better, you can do better – The choice is mine.
I am mildly alarmed at what is going on in my upper GI tract and yet completely relieved to know that it is all 100% tee-totally fixable – and it is all based on what I eat! That is it – no gluten translates into no antibodies and no other medically bad stuff with really long names.
So what should I eat? My doctor recommended I plan for long term Paleo as that is the healthiest way to move forward as a carnivore. It eliminates the gluten and refined/processed carbs and will fill me up with all kinds of goodness that God created – meat, fruits, veggies, nuts, seeds and eggs.
My health matters and to fight the fear of change – I choose to view this as a spiritual adventure. I am going to rebuild God’s temple of the Holy Spirit!
1 Corinthians 3:16-17
Don’t you realize that all of you together are the temple of God and that the Spirit of God lives in you? God will destroy anyone who destroys this temple. For God’s temple is holy, and you are that temple.
I don’t have to do this alone!
1 Corinthians 6:19-20
Don’t you realize that your body is the temple of the Holy Spirit, who lives in you and was given to you by God? You do not belong to yourself, for God bought you with a high price. So you must honor God with your body.
1 Peter 2:5And you are living stones that God is building into his spiritual temple. What’s more, you are his holy priests. Through the mediation of Jesus Christ, you offer spiritual sacrifices that please God.
