Hi,
I'm new here, but been on the planet for quite some time.
I suffered a back injury more than a year ago, then as I was coming to terms with it and things were getting better, I started to develop a heap of food sensitivities.
I have read some older posts that some forum members have had similar struggles and would like an update on whether TMS is continuing to help you get over it.
Cheers,
Gary |

Great! Well done for challenging those beliefs!

Thank you Hilary. I want to allow this whole thing to consolidate and then I will do the things you mentioned in about a month.
I'm still in wonderland because of this unexpectedly spontaneous recovery. I've managed to get over a number of illnesses in the past 4 years, but I thought this one had me beat.

Steve, another thing I did was to have a pack of potato chips on standby. Scoffing down a few potato chips (in addition to the laughter) seemed to help take the bite off a reaction. On the SCD diet though, you would obviously have to find an alternative snack.
Cheers,

I hope you'll stick around the forum from time to time - I like your humour!
Any chance you could stick your story on the Success Stories forum to encourage others? (You could copy and paste, or post a link to this thread.)
And if you fancy contributing to the TMS wiki your help would be most welcome. We need more contributors!

You largely overcame Crohns with the Specific Carb diet. Well done, Steve.
With my situation, after doing affirmations before sleep ("My stomach is normal, I can eat anything I want...") I introduced foods that I knew would only give me only slight aggravation.
The moment I felt a reaction, I'd get angry with it and attribute it to my emotions (I gave it a name - Esther), and within a few days I began laughing at it.
The laughing worked. I would have a good belly laugh for 3 or 4 minutes and by about 10 minutes I would feel my bellyache symptoms diminish or disappear. Each following time I had that same food the reaction would be less intense.
Most foods only took 2 or 3 times. Some didnt cause any reaction. One or two foods got me before I could ward them off with TMS, but other than that I felt in control.
Knowing that endorphins were released by the body when I laughed, and reading "The power of the subconscious mind" by Joseph Murphy, I think helped.
Cheers,
Gary

Hi gary
I would be interested in exactly how you introduced formerly intolerable foods, and how you applied tms theory to the process, as I still have many sensitivities and chron's disease symptoms.
thanks, if you don't mind

Thanks Hilary, and thanks for your support.
Unless the forum wants me to talk about how my table tennis is going, this will be my final update on this thread.
This is because food has ceased to be a problem. TMS fixed it.
And I am totally in awe of the whole experience.
I am eternally grateful to the "angel" that shared his TMS awareness with me.
It is just so hard to believe that something so devastating (every food under the sun was making me sick) could be resolved by something so simple.
Well, I say simple, because I didn't have to buy any equipment or medication, I didn't have to see any medical professionals, I didn't need a science degree - and it was quick and easy to apply!
Virtually every prolonged illness has an elusive key. The TMS key was fortunately near the top of the pile.

Brief update.
This is unbelievable. I've re-introduced so many foods that were intolerable just 2 months ago. On the occasions that I have experienced a reaction, I laugh at it, and its gone!
I have also read a book by Joseph Murphy, "The Power of your subconscious mind", which I believe may have contributed to my recovery.
Power to everybody who uses TMS and believes in it.

I have to say I've been much better since I started this in early March. The reactions to foods continue but they have been less intense and short-lived.
My faith and commitment to this continues to grow and I am forever grateful to the person (not from this forum) who made me aware of Sarno and TMS.
Enlightenment can be a wonderful thing.

Thanks for your responses, Hilary, Scott and Lori.
I'm quietly confident this thing is stress (TMS) related.
I currently have sensitivities to gluten, lactose, fructose, sulfites, salicylates and amines (did I miss anything?).
My tummy is a bit off right now, so I'm applying TMS thought strategy. But if anybody can lend a hand, please don't wait for a formal invitation.

Welcome to the planet, Gary! And the forum!

Yes, I'm still over my food intolerances. Dairy intolerance was one of mine, too, but now I'm back to dairy milk (as opposed to soya) and cheese - yummy!
Too cold for ice-cream here at the moment  - I have porridge for breakfast in the mornings with full-cream milk.

I had a long list of stuff that I couldn't eat at one point because I thought that it flared up my symptoms. One of those things was dairy products. Guess what I ate last night? Two bowls of mint chocolate chip ice cream. Yay.

Hi there. Your opening line is quite amusing!
Yes, allergies (or food sensitivities) are considered a mind/body issue thus part of TMS. They were specifically on a list a TMS doc gave at a lecture a few months ago.
Your brain may feel: now that your back has healed and isn't distracting you, it's time for something new!
I was sensitive to cats when I didn't want to be at my MIL's house years ago. If I didn't mind, I didn't have a reaction to the cats. Funny now. |
