You are nonetheless aware of the amount you are eating. Being aware of
the amount is at the heart of the 2PD-OMER Approach.

I suspect you are actually doing "The Specific Carbohydrate Diet"
dovetailed with a "modified" 2PD-OMER Approach. The latter aspect of
what you are doing is likely the reason for the difficulties you have
experienced with "defending" your combined approach.

You will be healthier with a healthier appetite (hungrier) if you
choose to revisit the 2PD-OMER Approach by reducing your portions so
that your total intake for the day is less than 32 ounces. However,
the world will continue to brainwash you to continue believing that you
are not satisfied when you are hungrier.

May GOD continue to heal your heart by curing your celiac disease, dear
friend Carol whom I love unconditionally.

Prayerfully in Christ's amazing love,

As for knowing who are the very elect, these you will know by the
unconditional love they have for everyone including their enemies
(Matthew 5:44-45, 1 Corinthians 13:3, James 2:14-17).

disease whose name is Madison that may be helped by interacting with
