Don't Need Help, Just A Question

I'm just curious about the difference in "Member" vs. "Advanced Community Member" in the info below our avatars. I thought mine used to say "Advanced", but now it just says "Member". Did I get demoted?

Hi Liz :D

I don't really know--but I would say that no, you didn't get demoted. :lol:

I know that the member title used to change with the number of posts a person had--when they reached a certain number, they advanced to the next level.

I was nosing around a little, and I see that all of us that used to be advanced members are now in the members group--I'd say it has something to do with the new version of the board.

Weird, on my last few posts, I am still an advanced community member--hmmmmmm :huh:

I don't know this for a "FACT" so please don't pumel me If I'm wrong here, but I believe it has to do with how often you post. If you post so many posts in a certain amount of time then you are moved up, but if you don't post for a day or so then I think you can be moved down. As far as I know it has to do with how many times you post in a certain period of time. I'm not sure if it's per day, week, or month, but it seems as though it has something to do with posts and time!!

If I'm wrong here I'm sure someone will clear it up for us!!

I see that now, Debbie and Electra. I always thought it was based on the number of posts--I wonder if that changed?

Scott--what's the story here? Curious minds need to know :D

nikki-uk Enthusiast

Oooo yeah, I just noticed that.

You are an observant lot!!

I was just wondering why I couldn't see anyones avatar...took me a while to realise I had to log in :lol: !!

(why does that log in thing happen now and again?) :blink:

I think the group has always been "members", but some of you/us have "advanced community member" under the avatar. Those of you that have put your own label under the avatar now don't see that "advanced" part.

OMG--I think you're right! Never even thought of that. I still think the change is due to the "new" board. I've had something under my custom member title for some time now, and just recently have been changed to "member".

Yes, it is based on the number of posts. Some people have gone into their My Controls-->Edit Profile Information-->Custom member title and changed it. To know for sure what "level" member someone is just look at the graphic.

Take care,

Scott

      Welcome to the forum, @Ben98! If you have been consciously or unconsciously avoiding gluten because of the discomfort it produces then it is likely that your blood antibody testing for celiac disease has been rendered invalid. Valid testing requires regular consumption of generous amounts of gluten. The other strong possibility is that you have NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity) which shares many of the same symptoms with celiac disease but does not have the autoimmune component and thus does not damage the small bowel lining. It is 10x mor common than celiac disease. There is currently no test for NCGS. Celiac disease must first be ruled out. Some experts in the field believe it can be a precursor to the development of celiac disease. Having one or both of the primary genes for developing celiac disease does not imply that you will develop active celiac disease. It simply establishes the potential for it. About 40% of the population has the genetic potential but only about 1% develop active celiac disease.

      TTG blood test and total IGA tested on many occasions which have always remained normal, upper GI pain under my ribs since 2022. I had an endoscopy in 2023 which showed moderate gastritis. no biopsy’s were taken unfortunately. genetic test was positive for HLADQ2. extreme bloating after eating gluten, it’ll feel like I’ve got bricks in my stomach so uncomfortably full. the pain is like a dull ache under the upper left almost like a stitch feeling after a long walk. I am just wanting some advice has anyone here experienced gastritis with a gluten issue before? thank you

      "Conclusions: The urinary iodine level was significantly lower in women with postmenopausal osteoporosis, and iodine replacement may be important in preventing osteoporosis"  Body iodine status in women with postmenopausal osteoporosis Low iodine can cause thyroid problems, but Iodine deficiency will not show up in thyroid tests.  Iodine is important for healing, its job is to kill off defective and aging cells (Apoptosis). Skin, brain fog, nails, muscle tone all inproved when I started taking 600 mcg (RDA 150 - 1000 mcg) of Liquid Iodine drops. Some with dermatitis herpetiformis, Iodine exacerbates the rash.  I started at 1 drop (50 mcg) and worked up to 12 drops, but I don't have dermatitis herpetiformis.

      Thank you so much for sharing your experience and I found myself giggling with happiness as I read how your body reached such spring! And I hope that your current journey is also successful!! Definitely starting the food diary! So many amazing advices. And it’s very scary. It really hits all our soft spots as well as our confidence system. Most doctors I went thought I was underage despite being in my late 20s. Right now I look like am I twelve, but is also this body that’s taking so much, so I might as well love it too! Going to make the necessary changes and stay in this path. Thank you again! 🫶
