Hi,

Been celiac since baby. Been gluten free for bout 5 months. Don´t post often ´cos i don`t know much and my DH works away for every month out of 2 so I´m single and married alternately.

I´ve been reading posts and haven´t seen any from GFP or a while. This saddens me because I´ve learned a lot from what he has to say and have also been given food for thought from his comments. Also from Carla B and Ursaula and numerous others that I can´t list cos it´d take forever.

Keep up the good work guys and thanks!!!!!!!!!!!

I think that he accidentally hit ALL of his "ignore" buttons, instead of just one. Ooops, (looking around) who said that :ph34r:

FULL MOON TONIGHT.

Come back Steve, come back. :D

I was thinking the same thing ... I PM'd him a week or so ago but didn't hear back.

Ya know, I have found that after some time you get used to handling things on your own and some have just drifted away.

Steve was (is) a very informative part of this forum and has helped sooo many. His intellect and detail was well known.

Other, than that, he will have to answer that question.

I have always thought that this forum held a vast amount of highly intelligent people who were willing to donate their time here with the assistance of others. So many are still with us.

If you have question, please feel comfortable to ask. :)

You have been dealing with this all you life. You may have some questions. But, also, you have 41 years of knowledge. Someone out there needs the answers that you can share.

Please jump in here and join us again. You most likely, have more information in your little finger, than most of us can learn.

I for one, would welcome your input. :)

I haven´t , cos my mother did it all until I was 17 and knew better, then when I was ill for 20 odd years old the arrogance of youth set in eh??? So. I am the font of all knowledge(25 years later). What an idiot!! In additition to this, it was all free in the UK!! How Clever was I??????

But, <<<<<<i do not feel betrayed, let down or anything else, just extremely stupid!!!!!!!!

Every day is a new beginning. :)

Let me lay low from here. Maybe Steve will come out. After all, the post was about where he was.

We miss you Steve! Come back!

I am afraid he has left for good. I don't really want to put the reason out in the open in a thread, because it would turn into another one of those that goes on and on and on, and fighting will break out............... :blink:

I have his e-mail address, but he hasn't answered my last e-mail, either. So, I am not sure what's happening right now.

He won't be reading this thread, and he won't likely answer even if he does (I can't imagine that his curiosity won't get the better of him at times, and that he won't read anything here ever again).

It is not anything any of us regular posters has done or said. There was an issue that upset him enough to leave, though.

I anybody wants more of an answer, pm me.

Maybe he is on vacation?

It is Toussaint vacation in France and many people go away for the Holidays.

I hope that he comes back because he was very informative!!!

Okay, being on vacation would answer why I haven't heard from him. But I am serious when I say that he won't be back.

Oh, wow...what an enormous loss. I looked so forward to reading anything gfp posted, and felt lucky to be sharing a forum with someone as erudite and well-informed. Ursula, I'm very tempted to pm you, but I'm afraid you may be inundated with emails from people wanting to know why he's gone. Is there some way you can generally inform us all on here, without stepping on any administrative or personal toes?

Again, wow... :(

I think he is on Sabbatical. Steve will be back, when he is ready.

Ursula...I sent you a pm, your box is full! I am so sad....I loved his posts.

I think I may have contributed to his departure, I have a sinking feeling :ph34r: because I think he commented on somethign and didn't like the extremely goofy slant we've been leaning toward (some of us, anyway)......and I know he didn't like it.

I was not going to answer your post Susan, but I don't want you to think you are to blame. You are not. The only thing I know is that someone pressed the report button on him and I don't know anything else. So no one needs to PM me to ask.

Personally I have been busy and mostly looking for help with baking but I'd like to add that GFP is really a great person and even told me where to shop in Paris while on vacation. He knew were my hotel was and told me right where to go accross the street. DH was concerned I told someone online where we were staying but I never said the exact date AND I doubted people who are stalkers would look for victims on celiac.com. Anyway, hope you are okay GFP whereever you are. I look foward to meeting you in Paris of Atlanta one of these days.

So I have a question that is a little off topic, but not too much. I started to pm the question but I thought others here may benefit from the answer as well.

What happens when you hit the report button? Not too long ago, I meant to hit "reply" and hit "report" I'm pretty sure I cancelled/backed out of it, but I'm not really positive. I don't even know who I did this to, but it is someone I did "reply" to correctly after . Pretty positive it wasn't GFP, but I do hope that whomever I mistakenly "reported" in the midst of my cross-eyed tiredness, really wasn't.

But that has worried me since I read Mouse's response....golly it wasn't even a controversial post....it was some recipe or something perfectly and completely benign.

Not to worry!

To actually report someone or something, you would first hit report and then write out exactly what you are reporting. Then, you would have to submit the report by hitting that button.

If all you did was hit report, most likely nothing at all happened--and you certainly did not report anyone. :)

I've been so busy lately, I haven't had time to check the board. I am also sorry to read that gfp is not going to be posting anymore. I've learned a lot from his past posts, and he's got a good sense of humor.

This kills me! I kept wondering where he was, but I didn't want to bug him by starting a "Where are you" post. I checked his "last time he was on the boards" info on the 30th (which was the day after his last visit, evidently) and was reassured because he'd been on just the night before. Darn it.

Ursula . . . if you get a chance to communicate with him, please tell him he is missed.

I was just reading a post and my heart leaped about a foot when I saw that gfp had responded to the initial post . . . but then I saw that the date was sometime in August. Now I'm bummed out again.

      need help understanding testing result for Naked Nutrition Creatine please

      Hi, I bought Naked Nutrition Creatine. It lists itself as gluten free but is not certified. (It used to be, but they dropped it in the past year or two apparently.)

I wrote the company and asked them what testing results they had for creatine and they sent me the attached, which says the test result for gluten is <0.025MCG. I'm used to seeing test results as ppm, so I'm not sure what <0.025MCG means. Can it be converted to ppm easily? I want to confirm that it is safe to use.

      When I was still recovering my gastroenterologist suggested I bought lactofree product as I was very bloated.  So I bought some from the supermarket and from memory, I drank a nice big glass of milk - and it went right through me literally within an hour or so, if my memory serves correctly.  I came off dairy completely next and it worked like a charm, but started to reintroduce quite gradually it as I missed it! To this day, if I overdo dairy products, they work like a mild laxative.  I've never wanted to give up milk completely as I like it so much, and my mum had osteoporosis and it's an easy way of getting calcium.  But it doesn't really 'sit' well with me.   You may need to experiment a bit as when I was healing certain dairy products were worse than others - I could cope with one brand of Greek yoghurt, but I got extremely and painfully bloated with another brand of live British yoghurt.

      i have been strictly gluten free for 7 months. this includes avoiding anything that may contain gluten and making sure surfaces and appliances are clean. i am 18 years old in australia and my tTG-IgA results were 69U/mL, pretty low compared to most people's, for reference. i feel the exact same as before. sure, i was pretty much asymptomatic/silent. the worst i'd get was occasionally bad stools and pitting of the nails/brittle hair since early childhood - and i was diagnosed with low iron and vitamin d which checks out due to easy bruising and such. but those symptoms have remained. maybe i'm jumping the gun, sure. i know it can take years to fully heal. but being over half a year in, i feel that i should be, y'know, healing. i'm nearly at my wits end and wondering if i should have a piece of bread or something to see how i go - to see if i possibly have refractory? my mental health is declining as i feel myself wanting to bang my head against a damn wall out of frustration every day. cravings haven't gotten better. look, i love the stuff i still can have, like salads and such. OH! i haven't lost any weight, which is mind boggling considering i eat very healthily now! i've always been on the chubbier side which is atypical of coeliac. i just don't know what's going on with me. i try to remain hopeful but i'm just so sad all the time. thanks for reading

If you must use a PPI, I certainly would advise taking the lowest dose that is effective for you.
