I'm about to change the subject here momentarily, and address the computer brainiacs in our midst (Peter? Ptaum? Janet?):

The visual field on my laptop is suddenly much smaller, i.e., pages will not all fit...I have to scroll across and then back to read all of the sentences. Now, this very likely has everything to do with the chaos of our current two-posts-out universe--I mean, coincidences just do not happen--but whatever the cause, I cannot fix it back. It's like the pages have been blown up a little, and they don't all fit on my screen. WHAT'S GOING ON? This is more than a Magic Triangle fix, I can just feel it...... :huh::rolleyes:

I jus' don' unnerstann' computers......

Emily--

Something like this happened to me the other night--I have Vista, and at the bottom right of the screen, somehow the size changed from 100% to 125% and the page didn't fit anymore.

Ridgewalker Contributor

GAH!!! The same thing is happening to me! Just started yesterday I think. I have to scroll over a little every time a new page loads because the words run off on the right a little bit. <_<

Ridgewalker Contributor

Whoops, double post. How did that happen??? :blink: Vortex! Vortex! :wacko:

I have XP on this machine...I can't find anything that says 100%, or 125......

Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr.......... :angry:

Just ran up and checked the desk top that has XP--look at the bottom right just over where the time is. It should say 100% with an arrow beside it that drops down other %'s.

Gotta go get dinner--hope that helped :)

What Patti is referring to is in Internet Explorer. I don't normally use it; I use Mozilla Firefox for most things. I haven't seen a problem with Firefox, but I just used IE to look at the board, and noticed that I had horizontal scroll bars. I reduced it to 88% and they went away.

In IE, pressing <ctrl>+ will zoom the view in, <ctrl>- will zoom out. You can do this by accident. Or your cat can do it for you. :lol:

elye Community Regular

Oh, Peter! I use Firefox, too.....and I have the horizontal scroll bar....that's what I have to use to read the sentences in full! Bizarre.....I don't seem to have Patti's magic percentage arrow, either...... :(

Wait....I'll try the IE trick with CNTRL -............

Hmmmmmm......nope.

I'll keep trying. Carry on!!

Patti, you mentioned that Broncobux had a Celiac group at MySpace....do you know if he still has one? I couldn't find any celiac group actually, but maybe I am not searching in the right place.

Are you going away for you Dad's b-day party, or was it an anniversary (I can't remember) that you were asking about invitations in another thread?

Bev, the Cape?? I wish we had things like that out west. The Cape sounds so exciting, like royalty, will you be lunching with the Kennedy's? HAVE FUN!

Ridgewalker Contributor

I use Firefox, too. I don't have a kitty, but my kids frequently to odd things to the computer. :blink:

Okay....it's absolutely incredible, but I figured this one out on my own..... clicked on settings while on my desktop, then reconfigured my resolutions. Mygawd--I actually did that? :rolleyes::lol:

Have a wonderful weekend away, Patti--I'll be thinking of your dad when I'm at my mom's.... HAPPY EIGHTIETH, MR. PATTI SR.! :):)

Julie,

I don't know if the Celiac group is still active. For the life of me, I can't remember much about it to give you a clue as to what to look for. I'm drawing a blank, I'm afraid. This was quite a while ago.

Yes--it's my dad's birthday party tomorrow :)

That's ok Patti, thanks for trying.

I don't see any sign of any group related to celiac, the groups do come and go so maybe Broncobux's group is no longer. It would have been fun to see if some of the older members of the forum who don't come around anymore were in that group.

Happy Birthday to your dad. What an amazing thing to celebrate! 80 years :D

What exactly is the difference between Facebook and Myspace? Are they not essenially the same thing?

Emily, I would say yes they are basically the same thing. Both are social networking websites.

They might vary a little with the features that are offered, like with MySace you can put music up on your page and videos, I'm not sure if you can do that with Face book.

OMGawd--that is so funny!!!! :lol:

Wow--I'm really glad that you found the % thingy--I shoulda thought to tell you about it, but it never dawned on me. The only reason I even thought of it for Emily is because mine somehow switched over recently and I couldn't see the edges.

      You might consider asking for a referral to a RD (Registered Dietician) to help with food choices and planning a diet. Even apart from any gluten issues, you will likely find there are some foods you need to avoid because of the shorter bowel but you may also find that your system may make adjustments over time and that symptoms may improve.
    • Ello
      I wish Dr’s would have these discussions with their patients. So frustrating but will continue to do research. Absolutely love this website. I will post any updates on my testing and results.  Thank you

      Losing 12" of your small bowel is going to present challenges for you in nutritional uptake because you are losing a significant amount of nutritional absorption surface area. You will need to focus on consuming foods that are nutritionally dense and also probably look at some good supplements. If indeed you are having issues with gluten you will need to educate yourself as to how gluten is hidden in the food supply. There's more to it than just avoiding the major sources of gluten like bread and pasta. It is hidden in so many things you would never expect to find it in like canned tomato soup and soy sauce just to name a few. It can be in pills and medications.  Also, your "yellow diarrhea, constipation and bloating" though these are classic signs of a gluten disorder, could also be related to the post surgical shorter length of your small bowel causing incomplete processing/digestion of food.
    • Ello
      Yes this information helps. I will continue to be pro active with this issues I am having. More testing to be done. Thank you so much for your response.

      There are two gluten-related disorders that share many of the same symptoms but differ in nature from each other. One is known as celiac disease or "gluten intolerance". By nature, it is an autoimmune disorder, meaning the ingestion of gluten triggers the body to attack it's own tissues, specifically the lining of the small bowel. This attack causes inflammation and produces antibodies that can be detected in the blood by specific tests like the TTG-IGA test you had. Over time, if gluten is not withheld, this inflammation can cause severe damage to the lining of the small bowel and even result in nutrient deficiency related health issues since the small bowel lining is organ where all the nutrition found in our food is absorbed.  The other is NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity or just "gluten sensitivity") which we know less about and are unsure of the exact mechanism of action. It is not an autoimmune disorder and unlike celiac disease it does not damage the lining of the small bowel, though, like celiac disease, it can cause GI distress and it can also do other kinds of damage to the body. It is thought to be more common than celiac disease. Currently, we cannot test for NCGS. Celiac disease must first be ruled out to arrive at a diagnosis of NCGS. Both disorders require elimination of gluten from the diet.  Either of these disorders can find their onset at any stage of life. We know that celiac disease has a genetic component but the genes are inactive until awakened by some stress event. About 40% of the general population has the genetic potential to develop celiac disease but only about 1% develop active celiac disease. The incidence of NCGS is thought to be considerably higher. I hope this helps.
