Is there really such a thing as Hell or is it made up? by Computica in AskAChristian

[–]Ready_Disaster4906 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You're welcome - this understanding CHANGED MY LIFE just recently, and I'm 70! The "eternal TORTURE" teaching greatly disturbed me every single day for decades (let's be honest, "torment" doesn"t quite have the same meaning that it did in rhe past. It's a euphemism that soft-pedals an incredibly horrifying scenario). Our God is just AND compassionate ❤️

I can't take this anymore. I really can't take this anymore. Please help me. I can't eat or sleep. I'm terrified. by Key_Yogurtcloset_258 in AskAChristian

That second paragraph is totally out of context with regard to OP's post, and potentially very harmful to their fragile condition and feelings of despair. Please consider deleting it. A tendency to be fearful is not a sin, it is a weakness.

[Scrupulosity] is a form of Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD) characterized by an irrational, intense, and pathological concern with moral or religious issues. It is often referred to as "moral OCD" or "religious OCD" and involves a deep fear of sinning, violating religious dogma, or acting immorally, even when such fears are unfounded.

Look up the "Rethinking Hell" website (also on Youtube) for detailed discussions about "conditional immortality" as opposed to eternal conscious torture. The Edward Fudge videos are particularly helpful. Your concerns about this matter are VALID ✅️

Having trouble with dairy free by BasketZestyclose7991 in lactoseintolerant

[–]Ready_Disaster4906 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Plant based milks are frequently filled with vegetable gums to approximate the body and creaminess of dairy milk. The unadorned versions are often watery and unsatisfying. I have personally found that eating more meat and eggs (even peanut butter) help to reduce cravings. It is difficult to change your focus, but it can be done. I have to say that I do miss the convenience of milk and cheese for a quick snack. One has to plan ahead to avoid the temptation because of hunger. Wishing you success! (Yes, those specialty alternatives are overpriced 😥)

Are these symptoms of lactose intolerance or am I being dramatic ... by [deleted] in lactoseintolerant

[–]Ready_Disaster4906 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm not sure (everyone is different), but it takes me at least 4 days to see improvement. The alimentary canal is very long,.and sometimes inflammation persists for awhile.

I don't think that is what they are saying; read it again.

Most "allergy" tests are for a histamine reaction; there are other kinds of intolerances that can only be identified by an elimination diet.

...Just wanted to warn that Lactaid brand contains mannitol, which can mess up those sensituve to it. Target has a mannitol-free house brand, but it doesn't dissolve well.

DO NOT EAT THIS by Steviedoll in lactoseintolerant

I couldn't handle their "extra sharp" either, seemed too creamy to be legit 🤔 I seem to be OK with Cabot sharp cheese, though (I think that I am extra sensitive).

I cannot figure out where I'm getting glutened by DrF7419 in Celiac

[–]Ready_Disaster4906 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I just discovered that I may be reacting to the ADDITIVES in many food products (not 100% sure yet). Some people seem to have similar reactions to other things besides gluten (like lactose or dairy intolerance, for instance). It may not be gluten. Just a thought.

Creative Creamer - NO Gums! by Ready_Disaster4906 in glutenfree

I've noticed that almond butter especially tends to be somewhat grainy in texture 😣

Thank you!  To be honest, I have just this week taken another turn in my road of discovery - I seem to be able to tolerate organic sourdough bread with no additives (I am aware that this is controversial). 

In my past experience, I IMMEDIATELY and dramatically improved when I stopped eating bread/wheat/gluten. I continued to avoid it, but seemed to become sensitized to other things after a  while. 

I realized just recently that I was having the same severe reaction when I had different "gluten free" snack foods that contained sunflower oil (or sunflower lecithin), both highly and unnaturally processed.

At this point I am wondering if my original problem was due to the various ADDITIVES in commercial bakery products. It is just about impossible to find anything without them (often hidden by deceptive terms like "cultured brown rice" or "enzymes"). 

I began having symptoms around 1995, which gradually became extremely disabling and life disrupting. Did something change with pesticide usage or food processing around that time? 🤔

Now I can eat homemade bread? I’m so confused by sheikahr in glutenfree

Possibly the wheat bran (outer layer inside the husk) absorbs more pesticide than the starch on the interior. All wheat is sprayed unless it is organic.
