does anyone have any idea why it was deleted? i'm not asking for names, just reasons, unless it was me. was it me? i can't think that what i wrote would have been incendiary in any way but i'm pretty sure i was one of the last to post. nothing really sticks out in my mind as obviously the culprit.

anyway, no, there was nothing in particular that i was interested in, just the thread as a whole. i thought the idea was very interesting and i was really getting into the discussion about it.

I don't know - the one I was on yesterday was also deleted. :(

Would that be the thread where the original poster was claiming that all autoimmune diseases were actually yeast infections? If so, Scott might have pulled it because it was very false and misleading.

No, she was in pain from the the latex and potato combo. Thanks, do you have a place that explains how to do blobs? I may try that for the future. Thanks!

I'm not sure if everyone here has noticed, but lately the board is getting spammed on an almost daily basis. In general our policy is to delete all posts and topics made by a spammer, so if someone actually replied to their topic their reply would get deleted to. This is because the thread won't make any sense if you delete the initial first post, and because we don't want to retain topics that are started by spammers.

Some of you have been asking about where posts and topics went that were started a few days ago by Tailz. In most cases it is very easy to spot spam, but sometimes there is a finer line with some posts, and it is more difficult to determine whether or not they are spam. In this case of posts made by Tailz, two moderators reported Tailz to me as a possible spammer because she was posted the same URL at the end of nearly all of her posts. That URL lead to a commercial candida site that was selling supplements that "cured" candida. I made the call to delete all of Tailz' posts and topics because I too thought it was spam (I've never seen anyone promote a site so much when they are not affiliated with it somehow), and Tailz was warned about doing this (she is still on the board making posts so any of you can contact her directly via PM's about this).

Our methods are not perfect, and sometimes good posts get deleted with what we perceive as "bad ones"--this happens very rarely. I apologize if this happened to anyone's post.

If you would like to see more about how we deal with spammers please go back through this thread as I have merged two other new threads into this one that were about the same thing.

Take care,

Scott

Scott, I think you made the right decision in regards to the poster you named.

I like the way you merged the two threads. It makes less confusion when I am clicking on threads to read.

      Scott, I am mostly asymptomatic. I was diagnosed based on high antibodies, low ferritin (3) and low vitamin D (10). I wasn't able to get in for the biopsy until 3 months after the blood test came back. I was supposed to keep eating gluten during this time. Well why would I continue doing something that I know to be harmful for 3 more months to just get...

      Supplements for those Diagnosed with Celiac Disease

      I was undiagnosed for decades. My ferritin when checked in 2003 was 3. It never went above 10 in the next 20 years. I was just told to "take iron". I finally requested the TTgIgA test in 2023 when I was well and truly done with the chronic fatigue and feeling awful. My numbers were off the charts on the whole panel. they offered me an endoscopic biopsy ...

      Is it gluten?

      Scott, I agree with everything you said except the term "false negative". It should be a "true negative" just plain negative. I actually looked up true/false negative/positive as it pertains to testing. The term "false negative" would be correct if you are positive (have anti-bodies) and the test did not pick them up. That would be a problem with the "test...

      IBS-D vs Celiac

      I realized it is actually important to get an official diagnosis because then insurance can cover bone density testing and other lab work to see if any further damage has been done because of it. Also, if hospitalized for whatever reason, I have the right to gluten-free food if I am officially celiac. I guess it gives me some legal protections. Plus, I have...

      Scott, I am mostly asymptomatic. I was diagnosed based on high antibodies, low ferritin (3) and low vitamin D (10). I wasn't able to get in for the biopsy until 3 months after the blood test came back. I was supposed to keep eating gluten during this time. Well why would I continue doing something that I know to be harmful for 3 more months to just get this test? So I did quit gluten and had the biopsy. It was negative for celiacs. I continued gluten free with iron supps and my ferritin came back up to a reasonable, but not great level of around 30-35.  Could there be something else going on? Is there any reason why my antibodies would be high (>80) with a negative biopsy? could me intestines have healed that quickly (3 months)?  I'm having a hard time staying gluten free because I am asymptomatic and i'm wondering about that biopsy. I do have the celiacs gene, and all of the antibody tests have always come back high. I recently had them tested again. Still very high. I am gluten free mostly, but not totally. I will occasionally eat something with gluten, but try to keep to a minimum. It's really hard when the immediate consequences are nil.  with high antibodies, the gene, but a negative biopsy (after 3 months strict gluten-free), do i really have celiacs? please say no. lol. i think i know the answer.  Asa

      I have had a long year of testing unfortunately still not diagnosed , although one thing they definitely agree I'm gluten intolerant, the thing for me I have severe back troubles they wouldnt perform the tests and I couldn't have a full MRI because I'm allergic to the solution , we tryed believe me  I tryed lol , another was to have another blood test after consuming gluten but it makes me so bad I tryed it for only a week, and because I have a trapped sciatic nerve when I get bad bowels it sets that off terribly so I just take it on myself now , I eat a gluten free diet , I'm the best I've ever been , and if I slip I know it so for me i have my own diagnosis  and I act accordingly, sometimes it's not so straight forward for some of us , for the first time in years I can plan to go out , and I have been absorbing my food better , running to the toilet has become occasionally now instead of all the time , i hope you find a solution 🤗

I finally requested the TTgIgA test in 2023 when I was well and truly done with the chronic fatigue and feeling awful. My numbers were off the charts on the whole panel.  they offered me an endoscopic biopsy 3 months later, but that i would need to continue eating gluten for it to be accurate. so i quit eating gluten and my intestine had healed by the time i had the biopsy (i'm guessing??). Why else would my TTgIgA be so high if not celiacs? Anyway, your ferritin will rise as your intestine heals and take HEME iron (brand 4 arrows). I took 20mg of this with vitamin c and lactoferrin and my ferritin went up, now sits around 35.  you will feel dramatically better getting your ferritin up, and you can do it orally with the right supplements. I wouldn't get an infusion, you will get as good or better results taking heme iron/vc/lf.

I actually looked up true/false negative/positive as it pertains to testing. The term "false negative" would be correct if you are positive (have anti-bodies) and the test did not pick them up. That would be a problem with the "test" itself. If you were gluten-free and got tested, you more than likely would test "true" negative or just negative. This means that the gluten-free diet is working and no anti-bodies should be present. I know it sounds confusing and if you don't agree feel free to respond.

If I really do have it then they may have increased risk.
