One Month

Well it is hard to believe that a WHOLE month has gone by since I have started the Gluten free diet and the Candida Diet. It has also been almost a month since I have last posted. It is not like me but the past few weeks have been draining on me and I guess when I get home and eat I just go to bed so I dont have to deal with the unsatisifing CRAVINGS of wanting more of SOMETHING that I cant have! Plus when the body is detoxing from itself it wears you out!

I have kind of felt like this:


It really has made me understand what WITHDRAWLS are and that SUGAR is a drug. I have noticed a lot of changes already with just doing it a month and look forward to the longterm change that will come from doing this. I get checked this weekend to see how the levels have gone down and I am hoping to hear good news.

I got my first cookbook and I am so EXCITED to see most of my favorite things to eat I can make it Gluten Free!!! BRING on my GERMAN PANCAKES!!!! So when the Candida things is over I can start cooking out of the book!


During this whole process I have been led to another crucial part of my system that also needed to be treated. It isnt something that people really talk about or may like to read about but it does make sence and I needed help bad! Ryan's mom has a friend that is a Colon Therapist and she is working on cleaning out my toxic colon. I have increased constipation with the diet change and felt blessed and guided to have her in my life. The spirit was so strong as I sat and talked to her about my situation and the rollarcoaster of events that have occured in the last five years. She got so teary eyed and with goose bumps on her arms said this is your next stop! She said I feel the spirit so strong I cannot charge you for the cleanse. I want to do this as a service to help you. I went last week and couldnt believe how much better I felt after the uncomfortable but bareable cleanse. I have to go for another couple treatments to be fully cleaned out but it is worth it. I learned so much on how the colon and pregnancy go hand in hand. If the colon is clogged and is not moving things properly it will fall.

GUESS WHERE IT LANDS? Right on top of the Uterus! It then sits there having all the toxins come out and go into the uterus. The Uterus then becomes a toxic place and the body is smart it will not let a baby grow in a toxic environment which is another part that could explain why I always miscarried at 5 weeks. I just cried and cried all the way home after visiting with her. All this time I thought I felt the need to go to Washinton was for Ryan but NOPE I needed to be here to have all these blessings be poured upon me for my body. I kept thinking WHAT IF I HAD SAID NO WAY!!!! NOT GOING THERE!!!!

I WOULD HAVE MISSED OUT ON FIGURING OUT WHAT I NEEDED TO DO FOR MY BODY! Over and Over I am shown that Heavenly Father is aware of me and if he is aware of me I know he is aware of you too!

Ok...............enough about the spiritual stuff and my body.

Here are some fun things that we have been up to the last month.

Springtime is here in Washington and it is BREATHTAKING!!! As I was coming up to Ryan's house I got out of the car to take a picture! This is why!



A couple of weeks ago it was so nice out. Ryan and I decided to go downtown Seattle together and spend the day.

Here are some shots of downtown



We then went to the BODIES EXIBIT, We had wanted to go to it when it was Vegas and didnt make it there so we were both excited to see it in Seattle! What a great showing! I know it sounds like it would be gross but it was so facinating to see the real organs and tissues of from real bodies! The fetus development part was my favorite! Seeing the embryo from 6 weeks on and to see close up how well the body is put together at such a tiny little peanut. Those who think that it is ok to kill before a certain week really dont understand. Seeing those babies like that you cant deny a GOD and you cant say they are not alive!

Here I am infront of the EXIBIT


We then went to PIKES MARKETPLACE and walked around. It was so sunny and all the flowers were out!

Here are the pictures






It has been nice to go and do fun stuff with Ryan just the two of us downtown since we have never been able to do that when we came to visit.

Hard to believe that we have been here 10 weeks! Time has gone by so fast. We got callings last week Ryan is the 2nd Counslor in Young Men and I am the Laurel Advisor. I have spoken in church and it seems that we are settling in.

I am thankful for the things that have transpired in the past month and am thankful for the extra help and support to continue to fo forward!

The picture of your street and that Mountain is beautiful, not as pretty as our cactus's, dead brown weeds and our semi green grass, but it's a close second. Your shadow makes your legs look a mile long in that picture. I loved the bodies exhibit too, my favorite part was the babies in the tubes. I dare anyone to say that's not life in the first trimester. We miss ya tons. Still hoping this is a dream and your coming home next week. It feels like you've been gone YEARS! I'm willing to let you go knowing you are where the Lord wants you. I'm so happy that your getting all the help for your body that is needed. I wish I had your kind of self control, I'm eating lemon cookies while reading about your Candida. You go girl! Keep blogging, we love you!

Hey you!!I am soooo proud of you for sticking to this, way good for you, but awfully difficult diet! But I am so glad that you are able to finally have some answers and be able to mend your body and mind! I thought about you when I was reading a Women's Day article about going gluten free and I just saw this little gluten free country store in the same building as my gym. Thank you for your awesomely long comment. You are always way too sweet to me! I missed seeing the bodies exhibit when it was in town a couple of times. I wished I could have seen it. I love, love, love anatomy. I am sure it would have taken me back to gross anatomy lab from PT school and then some! All I can say about the fish pictures is, Yuck, but cool! Matt and I don't come close to seafood very often :) I can only imagine how you have felt the last month, but you totally rock girl! You'll have to celebrate with a tiny sweet indulgence when you can get off the candida diet too! Of course by then your body might not even want the sweet stuff, hugh? Miss ya! I love reading about all your adventures, and you are so brave to post all your health stuff. I know you are inspiring others and they are so grateful for you, including me :)

Oh I'm so happy for you that you had that visit! What a blessing! It's amazing how certain people can impact your life in such a small way and not even know it, even though it may be something you have been praying about for years!
Isn't the bodies exhibit so cool!! I absolutely loved it! Austin on the other hand had to walk out after the first few bodies. Wimp :)
Rachelle said…

Good for you Karm! Sugar free! What a life you have now!! Full of good food and fun! Serious. That is hard to do. ps have you ever heard of like lotions, shampoos, soaps and stuff that mimic estrogen in our bodies? I went to this class, and they talked all about that stuff messing with our estrogen levels and causing issues. Just wondering. I'm sure you've heard of it in all your research. Let me know. - -kelli

That's so crazy, but I was about to go have a colon cleanse before I found out that I was prego cuz I have the same problems with severe constipation etc. Karm, it is wonderful to hear how things are working out and how you are taking care of your body..so proud of you for not eating sugar cuz it is a drug for sure. Hang in there, you are so awesome Karm!!! Love the fun things you've been doing, while the bodies exhibit was here in Sac the community pitched a fit about the bodies being stolen instead of donated for science from China. Love the fun things to do in Washington! Keep us posted with how your body is doing! Love ya

Those girls are so lucky to have you, as are those Young Women leaders that get to serve with you(I should know!). I have never known anyone in my life as humble and in tune with Heavenly Father, and I KNOW that things are going to work out you and Ryan because of that. I think it will all make sense when we see our life's beautiful tapestry unfold at the end, and can finally see that the dark threads were as important as the light.
