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.

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

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

      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.
