Question From A Dinosaur

OK, I feel a bit stupid, but having never done any "social media" like Facebook, etc., I must confess that I don't know what to do when somebody "friends" me. I have had few really nice people here do just that and I still don't understand what I'm supposed to do with it. I mean, I have plenty of PM conversations with folks, but what does "friending" someone do that is different? Also, a few folks have put messages on my page, and I don't know what to do with them either. Am I supposed to write a message on their page in return?

I don't want any of you "friends" to think I'm stuck up. I just don't know how I'm supposed to respond.

Now, where is the emoticon with the embarrassed red cheeks? I need that one for this.

Friending just shows that you're friends with a certain person, you can write on their page if you'd like to answer them or pm or whatever or you can just leave a little message on their page, BUT idk how it works here but on fb if you don't want everyone to read what you're saying then don't put it on a person's page, cause then it's public Haha . I highly doubt that anyone thinks you're stuck up! LOL no worries!! Hey I found your emoticon -------> ?☺?☺?

      Totally agree, that is an excellent point. I tend to mention these vitamins and also ferritin, because in England (not sure about the rest of the UK) these are the tests generally offered routinely through our public health system.  It is unusual to be offered much more than that. I was low normal/deficient in all three, and found that when I supplemented them all I felt better.  That said, my private nutritionist put me onto a very expensive broad spectrum supplement pill which no doubt went some way to address other deficiencies, and I took it into my own hands to take a supplement which contained all the B vitamins., too.  Interestingly, when I checked the supplements with my own GP a little while later she was very worried about the large doses of one particular vitamin that the broad spectrum supplement contained, so I came off the lot - although my gastroenterologist still has me take vitamin D.

      Did they ever tell you specifically which vitamins would interfere with which tests? Fermented pickles source of thiamine  and other B-vitamins, The fermentation process with lactic acid bacteria increases the nutrient value.   Colonies of beneficial bacteria can help crowd out the the bad SIBO. Have you had the rash biopsied for Dermatitus Herpetiformus?  Atopic Dermatitis and dermatitis herpetiformis share symtoms and atopic dermatitis patients have higher risk of dermatitis herpetiformis.  dermatitis herpetiformis is a symptom of Celiac diagnosis. When I had the carotid artery stent, the hospital put down "wheat allergy" for the food service.  I guess allergy puts the fear of god in them more than the misunderstood Celiac Disease.  Whatever keeps me alive in this world.

      You are correct.  Same place.  I have used their site for so long and have it bookmarked.  Still living in past.  Our support group was affiliated with them.

      Hmm, I think you mean the Gluten Intolerance Group®?  Their website is not gig.net.  Maybe it was at one point?  I am new to all of this, but did find their website here:  https://gluten.org/ Kind Regards, Known1

      @Scott Adams, You're right about corn and wheat not sharing similarities in the 33-mer peptide segment of gluten.  Corn has a completely different peptide that causes an autoimmune reaction because it attaches to HLA-DQ8.  Casein in dairy shares with wheat similarities in the33-mer peptide chain. Sorry about the oversimplification.  Maize Prolamins Could Induce a Gluten-Like Cellular Immune Response in Some Celiac Disease Patients https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC3820067/
