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.

      How Come Gluten Didnt Bother Me In Italy

      By Theresa2407 · Posted

      Maybe you have a low  intolerance to Wheat.   Rye, Barley and Malt are the gluten in Celiac disease.  It has always been stated Wheat and Gluten, not just a Wheat intolerance.  Barley will keep me in bed for (2) weeks.  Gut, Migrains, Brain fog, Diahrea.  It is miserable.  And when I was a toddler the doctor would give me a malt medicine because I always had Anemia and did not grow.  Boy was he off.  But at that time the US didn't know anyone about Celiac.  This was the 1940s and 50s.  I had my first episode at 9 months and did not get a diagnosis until I was 50.  My immune system was so shot before being diagnoised, so now I live with the consequences of it. I was so upset when Manufacturers didn't want to label their products so they added barley to the product.  It was mostly the cereal industry.  3 of my favorite cereals were excluded because of this. Malt gives me a bad Gut reaction.

      Thanks much Scott.  Well said, and heeded.   I don't have Celiac, which is fortunate.

      Possible celiac - need advice

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Do you have the results of your endoscopy? Did you do a celiac disease blood panel before that?  Here is more info about how to do a gluten challenge for a celiac disease blood panel, or for an endoscopy: and this recent study recommends 4-6 slices of wheat bread per day:

      Celiac or not??

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      It is odd that your Tissue Transglutaminase (TTG) IgA level has bounced from the "inconclusive" range (7.9, 9.8) down to a negative level (5.3), only to climb back up near the positive threshold. This inconsistency, coupled with your ongoing symptoms of malabsorption and specific nutrient deficiencies, is a strong clinical indicator that warrants a more thorough investigation than a simple "satisfactory" sign-off. A negative blood test does not definitively rule out celiac disease, especially with such variable numbers and a classic symptomatic picture. You are absolutely right to seek a second opinion and push for a referral to a gastroenterologist. A biopsy remains the gold standard for a reason, and advocating for one is the most direct path to getting the answers you need to finally address the root cause of your suffering.

      How Come Gluten Didnt Bother Me In Italy

      There is a distinction between gluten itself and the other chemicals and processing methods involved in modern food production. Your experience in Italy and Greece, contrasted with your reactions in the U.S., provides powerful anecdotal evidence that the problem, for some people, may not be the wheat, but the additives like potassium bromate and the industrial processing it undergoes here. The point about bromines displacing iodine and disrupting thyroid function is a significant one, explaining a potential biological mechanism for why such additives could cause systemic health issues that mimic gluten sensitivity. It's both alarming and insightful to consider that the very "watchdog" agencies meant to protect us are allowing practices banned in many other developed countries. Seeking out European flour and your caution about the high-carb, potentially diabeticgenic nature of many gluten-free products are excellent practical takeaways from your research, but I just want to mention--if you have celiac disease you need to avoid all wheat, including all wheat and gluten in Europe.
