Changed My User Name

Ursa Major

As you all can see, I changed my user name to Ursa Major, because I didn't want to be too easily found on this forum through a Google search.

Anyway, unfortunately, it didn't work. As my profile still comes up as the first result when putting into Google my name and celiac, even with the new name. I guess that once something is linked with certain key words, it will forever link to it, even if you change the key search terms.

Does anybody know how to fix that?

You still have the name Ursula in your signature. Possibly that is what allows it to be linked to you. Ursula isn't too common of a name. I'm sure it would be easy to find you by putting in celiac and ursula.

Jessica,

I took my name out of my signature, cleared my cookies again, and tried the google search, with the same result. It didn't make any difference at all. I am stumped.

Maybe Ursa is too close to Ursula. Maybe I have to go with a totally different name. My middle name is Margrit, maybe I'll go with that instead.

your post also has your first name in it, which may be part of the problem.

getting 'unfound' in a search engine is *very* hard, particularly since there are cached (saved) versions of files (in their old state) all over the place. additionally, people refer to you by your first name quite often around here.

Tiffany, if you were right, different posts would show up, but they don't. Just my profile will come up, and the board index (of course, I used to be on the moderators list with my name).

But I asked Scott, and he explained it to me. This is what he said, "It may take several months for Google to re-index all of the pages where that appears. Their index isn't in real time, it is done by "spiders" or "robots" and they revising sites on schedules."

So, I'll just have to hope for the best in the meantime.

I got other posts to show up, but I may have had slightly different search terms than you did.

Even after search engines re-index, there are cached pages out there, so nothing is guaranteed. This is the reason to never ever post anything that you don't want on the web. It may be there forever. Don't forget that other search engines may have different schedules, and methodologies.

Thanks, Tiffany. I may have to go at some point and edit all my old posts, and I might have to edit my blog. I don't really want to make it invisible, but if I think that a certain person gets too snoopy, might have to. Thankfully I have that option.

Also, people know your name so they say "Thanks Ursula" and then the word celiac is all over this forum. So on any given page the words "ursula and celiac" are going to turn up.

Ursa Major- I just did a search to check and the first thing that came up was this post. PLEASE BE CAREFUL. It's pretty hard to erase old searches.

your grandbaby is gorgeous!

Another safety thing I have always thought about was pictures of ourselves everywhere. It's a safety thing only a little bit though. Good luck with the new name and asking people not to "say" it will also cut back on Google stuff.

Hi Ursa ... seems funny calling you that ... old habits etc.

Anyway, you will have a lot of trouble editing all your posts, you post so often to help us all out.

Good luck with that.

And Yes!!! What a beautiful Grandbaby :P

      How Come Gluten Didnt Bother Me In Italy

      By Theresa2407 · Posted

      Maybe you have a low  intolerance to Wheat.   Rye, Barley and Malt are the gluten in Celiac disease.  It has always been stated Wheat and Gluten, not just a Wheat intolerance.  Barley will keep me in bed for (2) weeks.  Gut, Migrains, Brain fog, Diahrea.  It is miserable.  And when I was a toddler the doctor would give me a malt medicine because I always had Anemia and did not grow.  Boy was he off.  But at that time the US didn't know anyone about Celiac.  This was the 1940s and 50s.  I had my first episode at 9 months and did not get a diagnosis until I was 50.  My immune system was so shot before being diagnoised, so now I live with the consequences of it. I was so upset when Manufacturers didn't want to label their products so they added barley to the product.  It was mostly the cereal industry.  3 of my favorite cereals were excluded because of this. Malt gives me a bad Gut reaction.

      Thanks much Scott.  Well said, and heeded.   I don't have Celiac, which is fortunate.

      Possible celiac - need advice

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Do you have the results of your endoscopy? Did you do a celiac disease blood panel before that?  Here is more info about how to do a gluten challenge for a celiac disease blood panel, or for an endoscopy: and this recent study recommends 4-6 slices of wheat bread per day:

      Celiac or not??

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      It is odd that your Tissue Transglutaminase (TTG) IgA level has bounced from the "inconclusive" range (7.9, 9.8) down to a negative level (5.3), only to climb back up near the positive threshold. This inconsistency, coupled with your ongoing symptoms of malabsorption and specific nutrient deficiencies, is a strong clinical indicator that warrants a more thorough investigation than a simple "satisfactory" sign-off. A negative blood test does not definitively rule out celiac disease, especially with such variable numbers and a classic symptomatic picture. You are absolutely right to seek a second opinion and push for a referral to a gastroenterologist. A biopsy remains the gold standard for a reason, and advocating for one is the most direct path to getting the answers you need to finally address the root cause of your suffering.

      There is a distinction between gluten itself and the other chemicals and processing methods involved in modern food production. Your experience in Italy and Greece, contrasted with your reactions in the U.S., provides powerful anecdotal evidence that the problem, for some people, may not be the wheat, but the additives like potassium bromate and the industrial processing it undergoes here. The point about bromines displacing iodine and disrupting thyroid function is a significant one, explaining a potential biological mechanism for why such additives could cause systemic health issues that mimic gluten sensitivity. It's both alarming and insightful to consider that the very "watchdog" agencies meant to protect us are allowing practices banned in many other developed countries. Seeking out European flour and your caution about the high-carb, potentially diabeticgenic nature of many gluten-free products are excellent practical takeaways from your research, but I just want to mention--if you have celiac disease you need to avoid all wheat, including all wheat and gluten in Europe.
