Tiffany, it is so nice to see you again. :) I"m sorry you were attacked. You were missed. And, I am enjoying the Bare Mineral (that's right, foks, this darling girl sent me her stuff that she wasn't using! )

:rolleyes:

Oh, that was so long ago girl, and nowadays, it would roll off my back! And I am so glad you are enjoying it! I am using gloMinerals now. They are PRESSED!!!! Nice little compact of mineral make-up! No more messy minerals getting everywhere!! (Yeah, I quit using/selling Mary Kay....so sad... :lol: ).

I think we have all been attacked or ignored at some time or other on this site. I know when I was first on here I was ignored, then attacked, and at one point I almost left the board. But the majority of people are great and the information and discussions are worth while.

I am with the others when they say to start something with "I have heard, I was told, Could you tell me, Does anyone know..." All of those are a good way to start especially when it applies to things that may or may not contain gluten.

I recently found this site via surfing for Johnny Rivers links. I couldn't figure out why his name was associated with Gluten free until I read it was a post from Dingogirl about him.
LMAO :lol::lol: !!!!!!

SUSAN !!!That is just classic :lol::lol:

Best laugh this week (....wiping tears from my eyes)

Hi Srokie. I am not on this board too much, just pop in now and then

Tiffany !! Hi!! :D

I hope you weren't scared away!!! Please do hang around. I was "attacked" by a board member some time ago, over something really stupid,
Yep, I remember that! :rolleyes:

Welcome and hi, you've never seen me before but I used to be around a lot.

I think there are a lot of people who post on this board with really dumb ideas or really stupid things they are planning to do, but come on. How many of us, before a diagnosis, would have thought cutting out a major food group would be a good idea?

People come up with the most ridiculous ways to treat their ailments, but if they work, what's the problem? They only things I take issue with are when people insist that their potentially harmful viewpoint is the only one. If you choose to avoid all products with msg, that is different from saying that everyone needs to avoid all products with msg. (OK, that's not potentially harmful, but it would be very restrictive.)

Also, this board is very cliquish (although there are also many people who are not). I agree that camaraderie is essential to healing, but it would be nice if new people showing up weren't wondering how long they have to be a member before they are allowed to get a little red title at the bottom of their name.

Okay, it's gone (red title)

I'd hate to think it alienated anyone :( (newbie or otherwise) and to be honest I forgot all about it.

Actually after I posted that I kinda looked and realized that most people had removed them already.

The titles were kind of cute, but I remember at least one topic asking what "Rachelville" was.

I guess you could just change them to "self proclaimed".

Mine would be: Self proclaimed newest Spice girl - B!#@h Spice

What's interesting in all this is how insidious cliques can be. I have felt *slightly* left out of the board because I'm not a part of it. I'm not a part of most PMing things that go on, the friending thing that started when our board got upgraded, and lots of the other clique-y things. But that's because I don't participate in it myself. (Ok, it could be my personality too, but I don't even get a "nice try" because I don't really 'try'. :P:lol::P) You can't get into a social circle without time and effort, and some of us choose not to spend our time that way. (I never could get into the 'in crowd' anyway. :P)

Shut, I spent a great deal of time in high school trying to get into the in-crowd. As I expect that most of us did. I arrived as a Senior. I looked around and said to myself, "for this?"

It sent me on a new road when I went to college, just to be myself. I have some life long friends.

I definitely just laughed out loud to that one. Its a good thing no one was around :D You are too funny. Everytime I see the quote in your signature from your ex-allergist, I have to smile.

Tiffany: no matter if you are part of a clique or cool or any of those things, I think what is important --- to me --- is the time, effort, and thoughtful answers that you provide. You have a wealth of information about Celiac - and other topics - that is so appreciated by me and many others. Plus, you are continually a trustworthy poster, which is so important. The board benefits from you, and you benefit from it in the way you choose, and I think that's all that matters. (by the way: You know you are a Celiac when you think someone is REALLY cool because they know so much about Celiac) B)

That is very true! And there's NOTHING wrong with it! You are you and those that like and respect you will continue to do so regardless; those that don't, eh, it's their problem.

I'm really unhappy with the whole star "Rate Me" thing. I think it's being used as a way of being mean. And there's no clarification on what we're supposed to rate people on. Like I said before, I feel like it's ratemyprofessor.com and pretty soon people will bea able to click on a little chili pepper next to your name to show whether you're hot or not. :blink::P :P :ph34r:

      Nicotine Gum For Gluten Symptoms.. Am I Crazy?

      By sleuth · Posted

      He is not just a psychiatrist.  He is also a neuroscientist.  And yes, I have already read those studies.   I agree with benfotiamine.  This is short term while glutened/inflammation occurs.  As I had already mentioned, these symptoms no longer exist when this phase passes.  And yes, I know that celiac is a disease of malnutrition.  We are working with a naturopath.

      Nicotine Gum For Gluten Symptoms.. Am I Crazy?

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      Please do more research before you settle on nicotine. Dr. Paul New house is a psychiatrist.  His latest study involves the effect of nicotine patches on Late Life Depression which has reached no long term conclusions about the benefits.   Effects of open-label transdermal nicotine antidepressant augmentation on affective symptoms and executive function in late-life depression https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/39009312/   I'm approaching the subject from the Microbiologist's point of view which shows nicotine blocks Thiamine B1 uptake and usage:   Chronic Nicotine Exposure In Vivo and In Vitro Inhibits Vitamin B1 (Thiamin) Uptake by Pancreatic Acinar Cells https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/26633299/   While supplementation with thiamine in the form Benfotiamine can protect from damage done by  nicotine: Benfotiamine attenuates nicotine and uric acid-induced vascular endothelial dysfunction in the rat https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/18951979/   I suggest you study the beneficial effects of Thiamine (Benfotiamine and TTFD) on the body and mental health done by Dr. Derrick Lonsdale and Dr. Chandler Marrs.  Dr. Lonsdale had studied thiamine over fifty years.   Hiding in Plain Sight: Modern Thiamine Deficiency https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC8533683/ I suggest you read their book Thiamine Deficiency Disease, Dysautonomia, and High Calorie Malnutrition.     Celiac Disease is a disease of malabsorption causing malnutrition.  Thiamine and benfotiamine: Focus on their therapeutic potential https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC10682628/

      By sleuth · Posted

      Thanks for your response.  Everything you mentioned he is and has been doing.  Tobacco is not the same as nicotine.  Nicotine, in the form of a patch, does not cause gastrointestinal irritation.  Smoking does. He is not smoking.  Please do your research before stating false information. Dr. Paul Newhouse has been doing research on nicotine the last 40 years at Vanderbilt University Medical Center.

      Fighting for a name

      By Jmartes71 · Posted

      Im so frustrated and still getting the run around trying to reprove my celiac disease which my past primary ignored for 25 years.I understand that theres a ray of medical that doctors are limited too but not listening and telling the patient ( me) that im not as sensitive as I think and NOT celiac!Correction Mr white coat its not what I think but for cause and affect and past test that are not sticking in my medical records.I get sick violently with foods consumed, not eating the foods will show Im fabulous. After many blood draws and going through doctors I have the HLA- DQ2 positive which I read in a study that Iran conducted that the severity in celiac is in that gene.Im glutenfree and dealing with related issues which core issue of celiac isn't addressed. My skin, right eye, left leg diagestive issues affected. I have high blood pressure because im in pain.Im waisting my time on trying to reprove that Im celiac which is not a disease I want, but unfortunately have.It  has taken over my life personally and professionally. How do I stop getting medically gaslight and get the help needed to bounce back if I ever do bounce back to normal? I thought I was in good care with " celiac specialist " but in her eyes Im good.Im NOT.Sibo positive, IBS, Chronic Fatigue just to name a few and its all related to what I like to call a ghost disease ( celiac) since doctors don't seem to take it seriously.

      @Martha Mitchell, your reaction to the lens implant with gluten sounds like it could be an allergic reaction rather than a celiac reaction. It is possible for a celiac to be also allergic to gluten as it is a protein component in wheat, barley and rye.
