Email Bouncing

I have just received an email from supposedly Scott Adams stating the below. I tried returning a reply, but my email was undelivered.

The return address is info@glutenfreeforum.com

"If you forum email continues to bounce we will have to delete your account.

Take care,

Scott"

What I want to know is if this is a genuine email, and if it is, what does it mean?

I have never sent emails to the forum and I only use this site to answer or create topics. So I have not got a clue what it means. I received Scott's updates by email, acutally I do not read them, maybe I should have. But I have not changed my email address, so any emails to me should not bounce.

Help I am so confused.

I was just wondering, is this service not free and is ther a subscription fee to participate. If that is the case I am guilty.

So Scott, or anybody who can help me with this problem, please advise me.

I do not want to be dropped from this forum as I have found it really helpful.

Thanks in anticipation

What happens is you get regular mailings from the forum. If they bounce back, eventually they will figure you are no longer there. Try emailing him through this link: https://www.celiac.com/catalog/contact_us.php

According to your profile your at hotmail.

This probably means hotmail is bouncing the emails automatically.

Personally I never used hotmail (and wouldn't for a lot of reasons) but yahoo mail and gmail allow you to take "spam" sites out of the "spam list"... I don't know about MSN... you will have to look in the options.

Secondly, so far as I know the subscription for the emails is seperate the the forum....

Hotmail is really bad in a lof of ways and they seemingly randomly choose domains not to allow you to send to or deliberately hold up the email, this is specially noticeable if you try and send to another free account... this explains why you couldn't reply.

I think what Microsoft do is ban whole addresses for everyone so if someone marks it as spam then everyone else gets blocked...

I've just got the same email from Scott and I don't use Hotmail. I do know that our server is trying to weed out SPAM though, as we all are... So perhaps the email from Scott is getting kicked out.

I do hope that we don't get kicked out of the forum over this! :o:(

I've also been having email problems today from other sources, so this might be the same thing.

Is your "mailbox" filled up at the server? That is, your email account only gets so much space. If your server isn't automaticly deleting your mail (at the server), it may be reading "full" and bouncing new emails. Check with Hotmails email help section. I had to deal with this years ago on Prodigy. (Yes, I'm old.) :rolleyes:

This isn't my problem as I manage my email right from the server website and delete on a daily basis. I emailed tech support, so hope they come up with an answer soon as it's really annoying when the email is not working right.

Thanks for that gfp

I have now changed to gmail. My email address where I getting notification wasn't hotmail but my internet provider. Occassionally it hiccups. Hotmail was an alternative address I had listed for people to contact me if needed.

And then when I tried to get back onto this forum yesterday, I had no luck, and I really thought I was completely locked out. But I see the forum was down, and I am able to get on now. I tell you it led to a bad nights sleeping, wondering where I would get my internet fix next from.

Thanks for your help everyone, I can now go to work happy.

Gmail has the advantage you can download the messages to your local inbox....(free version) you can do this in Yahoo if you pay and I guess MSN/Hotmail of you pay too.

(you need to set up the pop options)

If you do this you know you have a backup if the terms and conditions ever change and you can set your local email client prog like outlook or thunderbird to download from your ISP account AND gmail account.... (belt and suspenders)

You can also set yourself up a seperate gmail account (invite yourself at other address) and use that specifically for signing up to forums etc... and not download that one... and leave the messages on the server as well.

This is what I do so I can check my email from anywhere but I also have a safety copy locally if the terms change or something weird happens. Seriously think about this ...imagine how inconveneient it is to have phone # addresses and stuff in emails and be unable to access them....

and so far as I still know

Hello Kaycee,

Yes, that came from me and was sent because the automatic email notifications that are sent out to you by this board--perhaps from the topics that you subscribed or posted to--began bouncing back to us, and this is for your AOL address.

If you have a new email address be sure to go into your "My Controls" area and update your email with the new one. Our policy is to delete accounts when this happens (I've seen some old accounts generate dozens of bounces a day), so it is important to update your email here if it has changed.

Take care,

Scott

Last night the sight was down, today I got back on, but it made me re-registar to post anything. Could this have to do with me getting rid of the original email account I used to registar the first time? Hmmm.... :blink: Julie

Yes, please read through this topic--your email was bad and was bouncing back notifications.

Take care,

      Help I’m cross contaminating myself,

      It is difficult to do the detective work of tracking down hidden sources of cross-contamination. The scenarios you described—the kiss, the dish towel, the toaster, the grandbaby's fingers—are all classic ways those with dermatitis herpetiformis might get glutened, and it's a brutal learning curve that the medical world rarely prepares you for.

      My only proof

      It's very frustrating to be dismissed by medical professionals, especially when you are the one living with the reality of your condition every day. Having to be your own advocate and "fight" for a doctor who will listen is an exhausting burden that no one should have to carry.

      Methylprednisone treatment for inflammation?

      Methylprednisolone is sometimes prescribed for significant inflammation of the stomach and intestines, particularly for conditions like Crohn's disease, certain types of severe colitis, or autoimmune-related gastrointestinal inflammation. As a corticosteroid, it works by powerfully and quickly suppressing the immune system's inflammatory response. For many...

      I think I am gluten intolerant

      Based on what you've described, it is absolutely possible you are dealing with non-celiac gluten sensitivity (NCGS). Approximately 10x more people have non-celiac gluten sensitivity than have celiac disease, but there isn’t yet a test for NCGS. If your symptoms go away on a gluten-free diet it would likely signal NCGS. Your situation is a classic p...

      Help I’m cross contaminating myself,

      It took three years and several doctors and many tests, and lots of steroids and other bad medicine that didn’t do anything to finally find a competent doctor to get diagnosed with dermatitis herpetiformis. I am meticulous about a completely gluten free diet now for more than a year and things were finally getting better until they weren’t. Who knew tha...

      Help I’m cross contaminating myself,

      By klmgarland · Posted

      Thank you so very much Scott.  Just having someone understand my situation is so very helpful.  If I have one more family member ask me how my little itchy skin thing is going and can't you just take a pill and it will go away and just a little bit of gluten can't hurt you!!!! I think I will scream!!

      It is difficult to do the detective work of tracking down hidden sources of cross-contamination. The scenarios you described—the kiss, the dish towel, the toaster, the grandbaby's fingers—are all classic ways those with dermatitis herpetiformis might get glutened, and it's a brutal learning curve that the medical world rarely prepares you for. It is difficult to have to deal with such hyper-vigilance. The fact that you have made your entire home environment, from makeup to cleaners, gluten-free is a big achievement, but it's clear the external world and shared spaces remain a minefield. Considering Dapsone is a logical and often necessary step for many with DH to break the cycle of itching and allow the skin to heal while you continue your detective work; it is a powerful tool to give you back your quality of life and sleep. You are not failing; you are fighting an incredibly steep battle. For a more specific direction, connecting with a dedicated celiac support group (online or locally) can be invaluable, as members exchange the most current, real-world tips for avoiding cross-contamination that you simply won't find in a pamphlet. You have already done the hardest part by getting a correct diagnosis. Now, the community can help you navigate the rest. If you have DH you will likely also want to avoid iodine, which is common in seafoods and dairy products, as it can exacerbate symptoms in some people. This article may also be helpful as it offers various ways to relieve the itch:

Having to be your own advocate and "fight" for a doctor who will listen is an exhausting burden that no one should have to carry. While that 1998 brochure is a crucial piece of your personal history, it's infuriating that the medical system often requires more contemporary, formal documentation to take a condition seriously. It's a common and deeply unfair situation for those who were diagnosed decades ago, before current record-keeping and testing were standard. You are not alone in this struggle.

      Methylprednisone treatment for inflammation?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Methylprednisolone is sometimes prescribed for significant inflammation of the stomach and intestines, particularly for conditions like Crohn's disease, certain types of severe colitis, or autoimmune-related gastrointestinal inflammation. As a corticosteroid, it works by powerfully and quickly suppressing the immune system's inflammatory response. For many people, it can be very effective at reducing inflammation and providing rapid relief from symptoms like pain, diarrhea, and bleeding, often serving as a short-term "rescue" treatment to bring a severe flare under control. However, experiences can vary, and its effectiveness depends heavily on the specific cause of the inflammation. It's also important to be aware that while it can work well, it comes with potential side effects, especially with longer-term use, so it's typically used for the shortest duration possible under close medical supervision. It's always best to discuss the potential benefits and risks specific to your situation with your gastroenterologist.

      Based on what you've described, it is absolutely possible you are dealing with non-celiac gluten sensitivity (NCGS).  Approximately 10x more people have non-celiac gluten sensitivity than have celiac disease, but there isn’t yet a test for NCGS. If your symptoms go away on a gluten-free diet it would likely signal NCGS.   Your situation is a classic presentation: a negative celiac panel but a clear, recurring pattern of symptoms triggered by gluten. The symptoms you listed—particularly the extreme fatigue, bloating, neurological-psychiatric symptoms like depression and anxiety, and even the skin manifestations like facial flushing—are all well-documented in research on NCGS. It's important to know that you are not alone in experiencing this specific combination of physical and emotional reactions. The only way to know for sure is to commit to a strict, 100% gluten-free diet under the guidance of a doctor or dietitian for a period of several weeks to see if your symptoms significantly improve. It is also crucial to rule out other potential causes, so discussing these symptoms with a gastroenterologist is a very important next step.
