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.

      Headaches / Migraines and Hypoglycaemia

      This article does not address migraines at all. Yes, red wine and sulfites are often mentioned in connection with migraine triggers. With me, any kind of alcoholic beverage in very modest amounts will reliably produce a migraine. Nitrous oxide generators, which are vaso dialators, also will give me migraines reliably.

      Then we would need to cut out all meat and fish as they are richer sources of tyrosine than nuts and cheese. Something else about certain tyrosine rich foods must be the actual culprit.

      KAN-101 Treatment for Coeliac Disease

      I agree that KAN-101 looks promising, and hope the fast track is approved. From our article below: "KAN-101 shows promise as an immune tolerance therapy aiming to retrain the immune system, potentially allowing safe gluten exposure in the future, but more clinical data is needed to confirm long-term effects."

      Body dysmorphia experience

With me, any kind of alcoholic beverage in very modest amounts will reliably produce a migraine. Nitrous oxide generators, which are vaso dialators, also will give me migraines reliably. So, I think most of my migraines are tied to fluctuations vascular tension and blood flow to the brain. That's why the sumatriptan works so well. It is a vaso constrictor.

      Excessive dietary tyrosine can cause problems.  Everything in moderation.   Sulfites can also trigger migraines. Sulfites are found in fermented, pickled and aged foods, like cheese.  Sulfites cause a high histamine release.  High histamine levels are found in migraine.  Following a low histamine diet like the low histamine Autoimmune Protocol diet, a Paleo diet, helps immensely.    Sulfites and other migraine trigger foods can cause changes in the gut microbiome.  These bad bacteria can increase the incidence of migraines, increasing histamine and inflammation leading to increased gut permeability (leaky gut), SIBO, and higher systemic inflammation.   A Ketogenic diet can reduce the incidence of migraine.  A Paleo diet like the AIP diet, that restricts carbohydrates (like from starchy vegetables) becomes a ketogenic diet.  This diet also changes the microbiome, eliminating the bad bacteria and SIBO that cause an increase in histamine, inflammation and migraine.  Fewer bad bacteria reduces inflammation, lowers migraine frequency, and improves leaky gut. Since I started following the low histamine ketogenic AIP paleo diet, I rarely get migraine.  Yes, I do eat carbs occasionally now, rice or potato, but still no migraines.  Feed your body right, feed your intestinal bacteria right, you'll feel better.  Good intestinal bacteria actually make your mental health better, too.  I had to decide to change my diet drastically in order to feel better all the time, not just to satisfy my taste buds.  I chose to eat so I would feel better all the time.  I do like dark chocolate (a migraine trigger), but now I can indulge occasionally without a migraine after.   Microbiota alterations are related to migraine food triggers and inflammatory markers in chronic migraine patients with medication overuse headache https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC11546420/

      Body dysmorphia experience

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Thank you so much for having the courage to share this incredibly vivid and personal experience; it's a powerful reminder of how physical ailments can disrupt our fundamental sense of self. What you're describing sounds less like a purely psychological body dysmorphia and more like a distinct neurological event, likely triggered by the immense physical stress and inflammation that uncontrolled celiac disease can inflict on the entire body, including the nervous system. It makes complete sense that the specific sensory input—the pressure points of your elbows on your knees—created a temporary, distorted body map in your brain, and the fact that it ceased once you adopted a gluten-free diet is a crucial detail. Your intuition to document this is absolutely right; it's not "crazy" but rather a significant anecdotal data point that underscores the mysterious and far-reaching ways gluten can affect individuals. Your theory about sensory triggers from the feet for others is also a thoughtful insight, and sharing this story could indeed be validating for others who have had similar, unexplainable sensory disturbances, helping them feel less alone in their journey.
