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

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. :)

Debbie:

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.

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.

      In the study linked above, the little girl switched to a gluten free diet and gained enough weight that that fat pad was replenished and surgery was not needed.   Here's the full article link...

      Hello, @Jordan Carlson, So glad you're feeling better.   Tecta is a proton pump inhibitor.  PPI's also interfere with the production of the intrinsic factor needed to absorb Vitamin B12.  Increasing the amount of B12 you supplement has helped overcome the lack of intrinsic factor needed to absorb B12. Proton pump inhibitors also reduce the production of digestive juices (stomach acids).  This results in foods not being digested thoroughly.  If foods are not digested sufficiently, the vitamins and other nutrients aren't released from the food, and the body cannot absorb them.  This sets up a vicious cycle. Acid reflux and Gerd are actually symptoms of producing too little stomach acid.  Insufficient stomach acid production is seen with Thiamine and Niacin deficiencies.  PPI's like Tecta also block the transporters that pull Thiamine into cells, preventing absorption of thiamine.  Other symptoms of Thiamine deficiency are difficulty swallowing, gagging, problems with food texture, dysphagia. Other symptoms of Thiamine deficiency are symptoms of ADHD and anxiety.  Vyvanse also blocks thiamine transporters contributing further to Thiamine deficiency.  Pristiq has been shown to work better if thiamine is supplemented at the same time because thiamine is needed to make serotonin.  Doctors don't recognize anxiety and depression and adult onset ADHD as early symptoms of Thiamine deficiency. Stomach acid is needed to digest Vitamin C (ascorbic acid) in fruits and vegetables.  Ascorbic acid left undigested can cause intestinal upsets, anxiety, and heart palpitations.   Yes, a child can be born with nutritional deficiencies if the parents were deficient.  Parents who are thiamine deficient have offspring with fewer thiamine transporters on cell surfaces, making thiamine deficiency easier to develop in the children.  A person can struggle along for years with subclinical vitamin deficiencies.  Been here, done this.  Please consider supplementing with Thiamine in the form TTFD (tetrahydrofurfuryl disulfide) which helps immensely with dysphagia and neurological symptoms like anxiety, depression, and ADHD symptoms.  Benfotiamine helps with improving intestinal health.  A B Complex and NeuroMag (a magnesium supplement), and Vitamin D are needed also.

      @pothosqueen, Welcome to the tribe! You'll want to get checked for nutritional deficiencies and start on supplementation of B vitamins, especially Thiamine Vitamin B 1.   There's some scientific evidence that the fat pad that buffers the aorta which disappears in SMA is caused by deficiency in Thiamine.   In Thiamine deficiency, the body burns its stored fat as a source of fuel.  That fat pad between the aorta and digestive system gets used as fuel, too. Ask for an Erythrocyte Transketolace Activity test to look for thiamine deficiency.  Correction of thiamine deficiency can help restore that fat pad.   Best wishes for your recovery!   Interesting Reading: Superior Mesenteric Artery Syndrome in a 6-Year-Old Girl with Final Diagnosis of Celiac Disease https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/31089433/#:~:text=Affiliations,tissue and results in SMAS.

      Wow! You're pretty young to have a diagnosis of SMA syndrome. But youth also has its advantages when it comes to healing, without a doubt. You might be surprised to find out how your health improves and how much better you feel once you eliminate gluten from your diet. Celiac disease is an autoimmune disorder that, when gluten is consumed, triggers an attack on the villous lining of the small bowel. This is the section of the intestines where all our nutrition is absorbed. It is made up of billions of tiny finger-like projections that create a tremendous surface area for absorbing nutrients. For the person with celiac disease, unchecked gluten consumption generates inflammation that wears down these fingers and, over time, greatly reduces the nutrient absorbing efficiency of the small bowel lining. This can generate a whole host of other nutrient deficiency related medical problems. We also now know that the autoimmune reaction to gluten is not necessarily limited to the lining of the small bowel such that celiac disease can damage other body systems and organs such as the liver and the joints and cause neurological problems.  It can take around two years for the villous lining to completely heal but most people start feeling better well before then. It's also important to realize that celiac disease can cause intolerance to some other foods whose protein structures are similar to gluten. Chief among them are dairy and oats but also eggs, corn and soy. Just keep that in mind.
