It has been a while since I posted anything, although I do come to the forum daily. The volume of messages is overwhelming but I do try to keep up with the MRT discussions as much as possible. I also love the nature and animal photos that we share. I know there are more than a few of us on here that find that our furry friends and nature are very healing.
I have been in mast cell remission since about last August. After 4 years of dealing with the aftermath of the cytokine storm triggered by the flu vaccine, my body has calmed down. I am still gluten free but have been able to add many foods back. I am still testing some foods from my second MRT test, but I have a good handle on diet. Lately I have been in demand for some speaking engagements related to gluten and food sensitivities (presentations for other dietitians), so I am spreading the word and trying to educate others.
Earlier in the spring we took an amazing trip to Maui. I had always wanted to go there to see the whales, so this was a dream come true. We rented a condo right on the beach and could see the whales from our lanai. As an added bonus there were sea turtles right outside of our condo. The week was full of breathtaking views and adventure, including ziplining and surfing. If you click on the images they will enlarge.

I came back from this trip renewed and refreshed. Being surrounded by that beauty was healing in so many ways.
