I sometimes have to log in 3x when I try to post. I write the text, try to post - and it says log in. So go back and do that. Save my text. Then redo it, and try to post and then it says 'log in'. Just a while ago I did it 3x :blink:

I don't have any problems logging in, apart from the first day after the switch, where it took me a few minutes to work out I had to log in under my email address, and not username.

I have been looking into a few people's profiles, and I was quite surprised to find out what sort of imformation is in there, as in the last person to have visited etc etc, and to me it feels like I'm invading someone's space, but at times it is nice to know a bit more about the person posting in a thread. But in hindsight I don't mind people going into my profile.

Also in the profiles, we are given a rating, how is that managed? Who gives us as posters a rating, is it other posters or the moderators? Just curious.

I use Firefox as my browser and can go into Tools->Options->->Privacy->Passwords->View Saved Passwords

then find www.glutenfreeforum.com and delete it. Then when you log in next time it will ask you if you want to save it. The reason the log in problems are happening is because your User Name is saved instead of your email, which is the new log in method for many reasons--way too many people forget their User Names.

Take care,

Scott

No, you're not. Scott mistakenly showed to go to 'Privacy', but you need to click on 'Security' instead. That will bring you to a window where you can click on 'show passwords'.

I was curious about the "rating" with the illuminated stars, in a members profile. I did not get passed my profile, much. Well OK, I looked at a few. What is the criteria for the rating?

AND ALSO.... I posted this in the recent past. You need to publish a cookbook with all our gluten free recipes from this forum, to support this forum. We need to give back. If you can work it out, we will be there and glad to contribute.

Got a question:

I have received several e-mail notations that someone has put ME on their friends list. Do I need to approve this? I changed my selection to "receive, pending approval". How do I accept my friends, and how do I add friends to my list.

I do not see a way to create my own "friends list".

Help :blink:

BTW: Speak SLOWLY and ELEMENTARY I have attempted to use this computer as a boat anchor many, many times.

:lol::lol:

I just accept whoever want to add me as a friend, but......see if this works.

Click on My Friends. Another window will open where it shows your friends. You have two other tabs, one says Friends Pending Approval and the other says Mutual Friends. Go to the Friends Pending Approval and see what that says. I can't help you definitively as I don't have mine set to that. Mutual Friends would be those where you both have each other listed as friends.

To add friends you can either move your mouse over the posters name in a thread, click on the arrow and choose add as friend; or do a member search and when that person comes up click on Add as Friend (under the area for personal photo).

You have to "ok" it with email if someone wants to list you as a friend?? :huh:

I havent checked my email in over a week... this means nobody can list me as a friend??? :unsure:

Maybe nobody has even asked me?? :(

How come I don't receive e-mail notification that someone wants to be my friend??? ( If there are any of course!! :lol: )

EDIT: Ok, I checked my email account and it does tell me I am on someones 'friend list', BUT I don't get any notifications?

Nikki and Rachel,

You are both on my friend's list. All I know is that I have gotten email notification when someone has added me as their friend. I have never been asked to approve anyone.

Have you viewed your friend lists, and looked at the mutual friends? You click on mutual friends up in the lefthand corner of your friend's page. That way, you can see who of your friends has also added you as their friend. :blink:

Now, I do have one person who added me as a friend, who I tried to add, but it's pending approval :blink::blink:

Wow....sounds complicated....all the approvals and mutual friend stuff...its over my brainfogged head. :huh:

Will try to figure it out later. B)

I guess I will have to remain "friendless" for the time being. :P

Judy,

I'm thinking anyone can do star ratings.

For instance, go to Patti's profile and put your cursor on the fifth star and click. You should get a message that it's updating (or some such thing). Patti already has five stars but you can see if it will work.

Judy, I dont have the answers. Personally, I dont use the "star" or "friends" features. I dont like to single people out like that and I dont want to accidentally alienate somebody.....so I just havent used either of those features.

Everyone is my "friend" and we are all worthy of 5 stars in my book!! Mango...that goes for you too! :D

Ditto- What is this star thing? I feel like I'm on "ratemyprofessor.com". I am just going to random people's profiles and giving them all 5 stars cuz you all all beautiful to me! Maybe we need the little chili pepper to show who's hot or not :P :P :P

      Thank you for the clarification and for taking the time to explain the terminology so clearly. I really appreciate your insight, especially the distinction between celiac disease and NCGS and how anemia can point more toward celiac. This was very helpful for me.

      Hi, My 7 year daughter has complained of this in the past, which I thought were part of her glutening symptom, but more recently I have come to figure out it's part of her histamine overload symptom. This one symptom was part of her broader profile, which included irritability, extreme hunger, confusion, post-nasal drip. You might want to look up "histamine...

      My 5yo was diagnosed with celiac last year by being tested after his sister was diagnosed. We are very strict on the gluten-free diet, but unsure what his reactions are as he was diagnosed without many symptoms other than low ferritin. He had a school party where his teacher made gluten-free gingerbread men. I almost said no because she made it in her...

      Bob red mill gluten free oats

      Not necessarily. The "Gluten Free" label means not more than 20ppm of gluten in the product which is often not enough for super sensitive celiacs. You would need to be looking for "Certified Gluten Free" (GFCO endorsed) which means no more than 10ppm of gluten. Having said that, "Gluten Free" doesn't mean that there will necessarily be more gluten than "Certified...

      High TTG-IgG and Normal TTG-IgA

      By trents · Posted

      Currently, there are no tests for NCGS. Celiac disease must first be ruled out and we do have testing for celiac disease. There are two primary test modalities for diagnosing celiac disease. One involves checking for antibodies in the blood. For the person with celiac disease, when gluten is ingested, it produces an autoimmune response in the lining of the small bowel which generates specific kinds of antibodies. Some people are IGA deficient and such that the IGA antibody tests done for celiac disease will have skewed results and cannot be trusted. In that case, there are IGG tests that can be ordered though, they aren't quite as specific for celiac disease as the IGA tests. But the possibility of IGA deficiency is why a "total IGA" test should always be ordered along with the TTG-IGA. The other modality is an endoscopy (scoping of the upper GI track) with a biopsy of the small bowel lining. The aforementioned autoimmune response produces inflammation in the small bowel lining which, over time, damages the structure of the lining. The biopsy is sent to a lab and microscopically analyzed for signs of this damage. If the damage is severe enough, it can often be spotted during the scoping itself. The endoscopy/biopsy is used as confirmation when the antibody results are positive, since there is a small chance that elevated antibody test scores can be caused by things other than celiac disease, particularly when the antibody test numbers are not particularly high. If the antibody test numbers are 10x normal or higher, physicians will sometimes declare an official diagnosis of celiac disease without an endoscopy/biopsy, particularly in the U.K. Some practitioners use stool tests to detect celiac disease but this modality is not widely recognized in the medical community as valid. Both celiac testing modalities outlined above require that you have been consuming generous amounts of gluten for weeks/months ahead of time. Many people make the mistake of experimenting with the gluten free diet or even reducing their gluten intake prior to testing. By doing so, they invalidate the testing because antibodies stop being produced, disappear from the blood and the lining of the small bowel begins to heal. So, then they are stuck in no man's land, wondering if they have celiac disease or NCGS. To resume gluten consumption, i.e., to undertake a "gluten challenge" is out of the question because their reaction to gluten is so strong that it would endanger their health. The lining of the small bowel is the place where all of the nutrition in the food we consume is absorbed. This lining is made up of billions of microscopically tiny fingerlike projections that create a tremendous nutrient absorption surface area. The inflammation caused by celiac disease wears down these fingers and greatly reduces the surface area needed for nutrient absorption. Thus, people with celiac disease often develop iron deficiency anemia and a host of other vitamin and mineral deficiencies. It is likely that many more people who have issues with gluten suffer from NCGS than from celiac disease. We actually know much more about the mechanism of celiac disease than we do about NCGS but some experts believe NCGS can transition into celiac disease.

This one symptom was part of her broader profile, which included irritability, extreme hunger, confusion, post-nasal drip. You might want to look up "histamine intolerance". I wish I had known of this at the time of her diagnosis, life would have been much easier.  I hope you are able to figure out.

We are very strict on the gluten-free diet, but unsure what his reactions are as he was diagnosed without many symptoms other than low ferritin.  He had a school party where his teacher made gluten-free gingerbread men. I almost said no because she made it in her kitchen but I thought it would be ok.  Next day and for a few after his behavior is awful. Hitting, rude, disrespectful. Mainly he kept saying his legs were shaking. Is this a gluten exposure symptom that anyone else gets? Also the bad behavior?
