Sorry to bother you twice, but my address is on my personal profile page. I had to give it to register but it shouldn't be on my profile. I can't get it off.

Thank you. I'm obviously a computer whiz. I've been wrestling with celiac.com for two months now...I missed having access!

I am not sure this is correct. By accident, I discovered a link from my profile in Google (celiac and headaches) and when I clicked on it it took me right to my full name, address and location! This is shocking. I now deleted my personal name/address info.

Try to google other names. I do not believe that you can see other's personal information. I just googled your name Snubu, I could see no personal information.

Like Peter said, your personal information is visible only to you. Not to worry.

You were able to see it only because the server recognized that you were looking at your own profile. It determines that by examining the content of two cookies, forums_member_id and forums_pass_hash, which are set by this board. If these cookies do not exist, or do not match the profile being displayed, then the personal information is not shown.

If you log out from here, and do the same thing again, you will not see personal information. Logging out deletes the two cookies I mentioned above.

Because I deleted my personal info. immediately. It was there. Possible that it was a cookie issue and I was logged in, as Peter mentioned. At any rate, I was able to delete all my data. Thanks for input.

Hello...I'm a newbie to this site as I was diagnosed celiac within the month. What caught my eye was someone's signature/tagline. While I was recently dx'd...my husband's side has both sjogren's and a grand or two with alzheimer's (sp?)

62 years? I'm 43 and recently diagnosed--good news for me after many years of unexplained illnesses. Do you have children? Are they Celiac?

My 26 (diagnosed Lupus at 13), 15 and 13 year old children, along with an 18 month old grand are undergoing testing...not so good thinking of my kids having to deal with it...although knowing at a younger age is certainly a huge advantage.

[Hi GottaSki,
I am a newbie too! No, I do not have children (by choice). It is definitely an advantage to be diagnosed early. Looking back at my childhood, I now clearly see the symptoms of celiac: Many headaches, always thin, after age 20 migraines from the pill and occcasionally from drinking alcohol, very severe menstrual pain every month, same weight since age 20 (have never been on a diet!). During the last 10 years other symptoms developed and finally my alternative medicine/chiropractor diagnosed celiac. I have not found a medical doctor yet that understands celiac. However, knowing now what celiac is all about, I will have patience and hope that some of the damage (neurological, intestinal, etc.) will eventually disappear and hopefully I can stay away from doctors.

Yes, my Mom has Sjoegren's, but her blood test showed negative for celiac. Either the test was wrong, or she really does not have celiac. She is 86 and she said at her age she does not want to pursue a gluten-free diet and does not really care about the celiac part. I definitely suspect my father was celiac (died of Alzheimer's) and there are many relatives on his side that have Alzheimer's, Osteoporosis and Psoriasis.

You are right, Peter, and I am sorry I panicked! Thanks so much for your prompt clarification.

I was appalled to find all my personal information displayed on my public profile. I thought when I signed up that this would only go to the board administrator. I cannot seem to edit it/ remove it. Please let me know how I can alter this.

You are the only one that can see it. If you go to someone else's profile and look at what's displayed, that's all that the rest of us can see on yours.

Thank you--Right after I sent you the message, my son pointed out exactly that information to me (that only I could see the private info while logged in). I apologize for the misunderstanding.
