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.

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.

      It's unfortunate that they won't work with you on this, but in the end sometimes we have to take charge of our own health--which is exactly what happened to me. I did finally get the tests done, but only after years of going down various rabbit holes and suffering. Just quitting gluten may be the best path for you at this point.

      My doctor didn't take the time to listen to anything. I don't even think she knows what it means. She is more concerned about my blood pressure that is caused by her presence than anything else and just wants to push pills at me. The so-called dermatologist wouldn't do a skin test. she prescribed all of these silly antihistamine skin meds. This lady...

      jmartes, Thank you for sharing  more information with us. Most of us Celiacs whose problems do not clear up with in a few years have to decide what to do next. We can keep seeing DR.s and hope that we will get some  medication or advice that will improve our health. Or we can go looking for other ways to improve our health. Usually Celiac Disease is not a killer disease, it is a disabling disease as  you have found out. You have time to find some ways to help you recover. Stay on your gluten-free diet and be more careful in avoiding cross contamination . KnittyKitty  and others here can give you advice about avoiding some foods that can give you the gluten auto immune reaction and advice about vitamins and supplement that help celiacs. You may need to take higher doses of Vit. B12  and D3.  About 20 years before a Dr. suggested I might have Celiac disease I had health problems that all other Dr said they could not identify or treat. I was very opposed to alternative providers and treatments. So many people were getting help from a local healer I decided to try that out. It was a little helpful but then, because I had a good education in medical laboraties she gave me a book  to read and what did I think. With great skeptism I started reading and before I was half way through it I began using the methods outlined in the book. Using those herbs and supplements I went from hardly able to work to being able to work almost fulltime. I still use that program. But because I had undiagnosed celiac disease by 10 years later some  of my problems returned and I started to loose weight.    So how does a person find a program that will benefit them? Among the programs you can find online there are many that are snake oil scams and some that will be beneficial. by asking around, as I did. Is there an ND in your area? Do they reccomend that person? If you would like to read about the program I use go to www.drclark.net

She is more concerned about my blood pressure that is caused by her presence than anything else and just wants to push pills at me. The so-called dermatologist wouldn't do a skin test. she prescribed all of these silly antihistamine skin meds. This lady didn't even know what she was talking about and said "they never turn out as celiac, they usually just say it's dermatitis so here's your meds," just like my regular quack. I'm trying to change insurance companies at the moment and that has been a battle because of red tape, wrong turns, and workers having wrong phone numbers. What a joke! The allergy blood days say I have a wheat allergy of .31. Hopefully it's just that and until I find a decent doctor and dermatologist, I'll just lay off the wheat anyway, since it gives me asthma, high blood sugar, and joint pain. So frustrated at this point. The rash on my back of arms/elbows is mostly gone. Both calves and chest have started up. smh. It comes and goes. It fades faster now, though, although my forearms still produce one or two bumps on each side. The itching has calmed down a lot except for the bump area. I have dry skin to begin with so anything affecting it just makes it crazy. i'm never going to eat wheat again. I don't care if they need it to produce results or if it is just an intolerance, allergy, or celiac. It gives me hell.

Im in disability limbo and I should have never been a bus driver because im still suffering and trying to heal with zero income except for my husband. This isnt fare that my health is dictating my living and having ti beg for being revalidation of my disregarded celiac disease. Its an emotional roller coaster I don't want to be on and the medical made it worse.New pcp new gi, exhausted, tired and really fed up. GI doctor NOT girl..
