My Humble Request

I would very politely request something of the posters here :)

When reading a lengthy post, I find it difficult to consume so much information in one solid form. My eyes cross :blink: There is so much information and many requests, that I seem to miss so much.

I think for many, as well for myself, if the posters could break up their posts in several paragraphs, it can be more easily deciphered and questions would be more readily answered.

Thanks, I am sure that this will help others as well. :)

JUDY, INSTEAD OF SENDING IT TO YOUR EMAIL, JUST COPY, OPEN YOUR MICROSOFT WORK, OR WORD, WHICHEVER IT IS YOU HAVE, AND PASTE IT IN THERE. YOU CAN CHANGE THE SIZE IN THERE, TOO, AND YOU SAVE YOURSELF ONE STEP.

And Lisa, I agree. It is awfully hard to read those long paragraphs, and to keep your place while reading them.

Great idea Lisa,

I have the same problems with reading big paragraphs and usually will have to skim through it. I always break up my posts and I very much appreciate it when others do the same. :)

I cant focus on big chunks of words and it hurts my head. :(

On the Lyme board I visit they request that all people post like this....with no long paragraphs and everything broken up into smaller paragraphs. I love it....it makes reading so much easier. :) When someone doesnt do this I usually avoid reading the post because I cant stay focused. :wacko:

I also find it hard to read posts which go on and on without breaks. Sometimes you need to make a long post to explain something, but it really helps us readers if it is broken up into logical paragraphs.

If the typeface is too small, your browser should have a function to enlarge the text. In FireFox, which I use, and Netscape, which I formerly used, CTRL-+ (control-plus) accomplishes this, and can be used repeatedly until the text is large enough. Control-minus makes the text smaller.

You have a number of options, even if you're using Internet Explorer (which doesn't have the ctrl-"+" or ctrl-"-" trick). (The following instructions assume you have Windows.)

1) You can change your screen resolution.

  1. Right click on your background, and select Properties.
  2. Select the Settings tab, and slide the "Screen Resolution" slider to the left one or two spaces to lower your resolution.
  3. Click on "Apply", and the screen will blank for a second, then prompt you on whether or not you want to keep the new resolution. If it's enough of a change, say yes. If not, say no, and change it some more.
  4. When you have the resolution set how you like it, select "OK".

2) For menu items and the names under the icons on your desktop, you can change your Windows font size.

  1. Right click on your background, and select Appearance.
  2. Under "Font size:" select Large or Extra Large, and click on Apply.
  3. When the size is acceptable, select "OK".

3) For internal website text, including Celiac.com, you can change the Internet Explorer settings.

  1. In Internet Explorer, open the Tools menu, and select Internet Options.
  2. Click on Accessibility, and click on all of the buttons in "Formatting". Then Select "OK".
  3. Select "OK" again to close the Internet Options window.
  4. Open the View menu, select Font Size, and select Largest from the menu list which pops up.

*It should be noted that this does change some of the appearance of the page, because some items are pictures, not text. But the important parts are much bigger.

Alternatively, you could download Firefox, and use the ctrl-"+" trick. It's a better browser anyway. :P (But I'm not biased at all. :D)

      I do not know this, but since they are labelled gluten-free, and are not really a product that could easily be contaminated when making them (there would be not flour in the air of such a facility, for example), I don't really see contamination as something to be concerned about for this type of product.

      @Jane02, I hear you about the kale and collard greens.  I don't do dairy and must eat green leafies, too, to get sufficient calcium.  I must be very careful because some calcium supplements are made from ground up crustacean shells.  When I was deficient in Vitamin D, I took high doses of Vitamin D to correct the deficiency quickly.  This is safe and nontoxic.  Vitamin D level should be above 70 nmol/L.  Lifeguards and indigenous Pacific Islanders typically have levels between 80-100 nmol/L.   Levels lower than this are based on amount needed to prevent disease like rickets and osteomalacia. We need more thiamine when we're physically ill, emotionally and mentally stressed, and if we exercise like an athlete or laborer.  We need more thiamine if we eat a diet high in simple carbohydrates.  For every 500 kcal of carbohydrates, we need 500-1000 mg more of thiamine to process the carbs into energy.  If there's insufficient thiamine the carbs get stored as fat.  Again, recommended levels set for thiamine are based on minimum amounts needed to prevent disease.  This is often not adequate for optimum health, nor sufficient for people with absorption problems such as Celiac disease.  Gluten free processed foods are not enriched with vitamins like their gluten containing counterparts.  Adding a B Complex and additional thiamine improves health for Celiacs.  Thiamine is safe and nontoxic even in high doses.  Thiamine helps the mitochondria in cells to function.  Thiamine interacts with each of the other B vitamins.  They are all water soluble and easily excreted if not needed. Interesting Reading: Clinical trial: B vitamins improve health in patients with coeliac disease living on a gluten-free diet https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/19154566/ Safety and effectiveness of vitamin D mega-dose: A systematic review https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/34857184/ High dose dietary vitamin D allocates surplus calories to muscle and growth instead of fat via modulation of myostatin and leptin signaling https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/38766160/ Safety of High-Dose Vitamin D Supplementation: Secondary Analysis of a Randomized Controlled Trial https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/31746327/ Vitamins and Celiac Disease: Beyond Vitamin D https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC11857425/ Investigating the therapeutic potential of tryptophan and vitamin A in modulating immune responses in celiac disease: an experimental study https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/40178602/ Investigating the Impact of Vitamin A and Amino Acids on Immune Responses in Celiac Disease Patients https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC10814138/

      Thank you so much @knitty kitty for this insightful information! I would have never considered fractionated coconut oil to be a potential source of GI upset. I will consider all the info you shared. Very interesting about the Thiamine deficiency.  I've tracked daily averages of my intake in a nutrition software. The only nutrient I can't consistently meet from my diet is vitamin D. Calcium is a hit and miss as I rely on vegetables, dark leafy greens as a major source, for my calcium intake. I'm able to meet it when I either eat or juice a bundle of kale or collard greens daily haha. My thiamine intake is roughly 120% of my needs, although I do recognize that I may not be absorbing all of these nutrients consistently with intermittent unintentional exposures to gluten.  My vitamin A intake is roughly 900% (~6400 mcg/d) of my needs as I eat a lot of sweet potato, although since it's plant-derived vitamin A (beta-carotene) apparently it's not likely to cause toxicity.  Thanks again!

      Hello, @Jane02,  I take Naturewise D 3.  It contains olive oil.   Some Vitamin D supplements, like D Drops, are made with fractionated coconut oil which can cause digestive upsets.  Fractionated coconut oil is not the same as coconut oil used for cooking.  Fractionated coconut oil has been treated for longer shelf life, so it won't go bad in the jar, and thus may be irritating to the digestive system. I avoid supplements made with soy because many people with Celiac Disease also react to soy.  Mixed tocopherols, an ingredient in Thornes Vitamin D, may be sourced from soy oil.  Kirkland's has soy on its ingredient list. I avoid things that might contain or be exposed to crustaceans, like Metagenics says on its label.  I have a crustacean/shellfish/fish allergy.  I like Life Extension Bioactive Complete B Complex.  I take additional Thiamine B 1 in the form Benfotiamine which helps the intestines heal, Life Extension MegaBenfotiamine. Thiamine is needed to activate Vitamin D.   Low thiamine can make one feel like they are getting glutened after a meal containing lots of simple carbohydrates like white rice, or processed gluten free foods like cookies and pasta.   It's rare to have a single vitamin deficiency.  The water soluble B Complex vitamins should be supplemented together with additional Thiamine in the form Benfotiamine and Thiamine TTFD (tetrahydrofurfuryl disulfide) to correct subclinical deficiencies that don't show up on blood tests.  These are subclinical deficiencies within organs and tissues.  Blood is a transportation system.  The body will deplete tissues and organs in order to keep a supply of thiamine in the bloodstream going to the brain and heart.   If you're low in Vitamin D, you may well be low in other fat soluble vitamins like Vitamin A and Vitamin K. Have you seen a dietician?
