I'm not sure if this is the place to put this, but I was wondering if there was any way we could get a Welcome center for the forum? Just a place where new arrivals can say hi and regular attenders can meet them? I just think it'd be really helpful for some ^-^

Thanks!

Most newbies identify themselfs as such. As I have seen, most if not all get a welcome. We have a wide variety of people who specialize in their duties. Some are welcommers, some are good with products and some have the technical abilities.

It does seem to work well. But I do understand your thoughts though.

Welcome Tippy, everything might seem over whelming, but it does get easier. When I first joined in Aug I was scared to death. Everyone on here is very knowledgable (probably spelled wrong) not a good day for me. You will learn alot. have a happy new year.

Welcome Tippy

Hope to see more of you here on the forum.

And it is so true Momma Goose, and I had never thought about that before, that we all all had our duties and specialized in them

I am not quite sure what my duty is, but I guess I will slot into my position eventually.

Its interesting this was brought up. The first thing I looked for recently when joining was an Introduce Yourself area. No doubt depends on available resources for maintenance but could be worth while.

Hi Pondlady and Tippy. Welcome to the board. Glad you have jumped in without an individual welcome thread :D It is a good thought, perhaps would be a good place to post the 'Newby" kit.

Just wanted to jump in here and welcome yall to the board!

Often, a newbie will start a thread, introduce themselves, describe where they are in the process of being sick/getting diagnosed, etc. So feel free to post it....maybe in the coping section. You'll be sure to get lots of welcomes :)

Hi Tippy,

I recommend that you use our expressions here rather than these--people have no idea what yours are, and you will just spend too much time explaining them to everyone...thank you!

Take care,

Scott

      By nanny marley · Posted

      Hi I've been told I need a MRI on my bowels , I was booked for a colonoscopy, but because of my sever back issues and trapped nerve it can't be done , the nurse told me I will have to have a manitol drink a hour before the scan , I'm just a bit worried has I have issues with sweeteners like even a little,  I get a weird throat and ears and I've read it is a similar substance , not sure if anyone has had one of these scans or could give me some advise on the drink prep thanks in advance 😄

      Celiac attack confusion and anxiety

      By Colleen H · Posted

      Hi all ! Can a celiac attack be so intense that it causes your entire body to work in reverse? Meaning really bad pain,  neuropathy and muscle,  jaw pain,  the stomach issues , Horrible anxiety and confusion??  I had a Tums and you would think I ate poison. My jaw and stomach did not like it . Not the norm for me. Things that are simple are just out of control. Anyone ever have this happen??  I'm trying to figure out what I ate or did to bring on a celiac like attack. I had an idea before but yesterday I didn't have any gluten unless it was in a medication ?! Any positive suggestions ??  Thank you

      Gluten free stuff

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      The following two lists are very helpful for anyone who is gluten sensitive and needs to avoid gluten when shopping. It's very important to learn to read labels and understand sources of hidden gluten, and to know some general information about product labelling--for example in the USA if wheat is a possible allergen it must be declared on a product's ingredient label like this: Allergens: Wheat.

      Gluten free stuff

      By trents · Posted

      Tammy, in the food industry, "gluten free" doesn't mean the same thing as "no gluten". As Scott explained, the FDA (Food and Drug Administration) allows food companies to use the "gluten-free" label as long as the product does not contain more than 20 ppm (parts per million) of gluten. This number is based on studies the FDA did years ago to determine the reaction threshold for those with celiac disease. And the 20 ppm figure works for the majority of celiacs. There are those who are more sensitive, however, who still react to that amount. There is another, stricter standard known as "Certified Gluten Free" which was developed by a third party organization known as GFCO which requires not more than 10 ppm of gluten. So, when you see "GFCO" or "Certified Gluten Free" labels on food items you know they are manufactured with a stricter standard concerning gluten content. Having said all that, even though you may read the disclaimer on a food item that says the spices may contain wheat, barley or rye (the gluten grains), you should be able to trust that the amount of gluten the spices may contain is so small it allows the total product to meet the requirements of gluten free or certified gluten free labeling. I hope this helps.
