Actually, it was someone called CeliacMe and here is what was going on:

I think around Post #74 onward is when I just lose it....... all the while, this is exactly the same time you were PM'ing me, just as I was doing an "IM OUTTA HERE!". That's why you only got one from me, but I passed the word on to make sure you were welcomed properly.....

Hugs.

Susan,

When you joined...you were going through alot...like so many of us. But NO...you were NEVER depressing. I think I met you right after you joined (we taked about C-diff :) )....and since then...good days and bad we've loved having you here. I dont think you could have possibly scared anyone off....especially with those cute dingo's always staring at us. ;)

Thanks Rach. I do remember telling you that one-third of people DIE from C. Diff - - felt bad about being the messenger of THAT news. :huh: Later thought - I should not have told you that (researcher that you are, you knew anyway). Holy over-analyzing, Batman......

Karen - actually wishing I hadn't mentioned anything. I have seen you be mostly attentive toward people. Anywho now I"ve created....more controversy?

will read the thread, in between watching Golden Globes. Yup, it's very cerebral over here tonight, folks. ;)

Hey Susan! No Problem! I just wanted to point out how misunderstanding can so easily occur and we sometimes have absolutely no clue what's going on "behind the scenes"......

The above noted thread was the straw that broke the camel's back though, and that's exactly the time you happened to PM me. But the real kicker (and the one that shows Celiachap in all his true glory) and the one that send me in search of "Moderator Nerve Pills", is this one (I had just finished dealing with this guy when the other thread started, and at that point, I HAD HAD IT!!! LOL!)

oh my gosh, I just read about three pages of that HEINOUS thread. That's a BAD one.

You know......it is astonishing....I joined on January 27th - the very day this was all going on. I can see why you took your "vacation" - - what a nasty thing that was. And here was sad little me - - with no IDEA in the world what was going on in YOUR world......

and all this time, I have mildly perceived that you thought I was a pest, or something.

This whole thing has been really eye-opening. I am....flummoxed! :huh:

Karen - I am feeling slightly tail-between-legs but also quite glad that's been cleared up. And you know what? I honestly couldn't tell you WHO interected with me in my earliest posts - it's all such a blur. I know all too well that the depressed person can take things very personally.

Hugs to you. I am glad that angry poster was banned.

Well, I for one adore eating paper towels and toilet paper. Being the sign of the goat it is natural for me to eat anything that doesn't eat me first. You should see me lust after the large packages of paper towels in costco. Yes, they have caught me many times passed out from "TTS (toxic towel syndrome)."

As for shampoos, it is usually us who get DH who have to worry about them they say, but I worry about being glutened if it drips in your eyes or mouth.

Now for my final thing that had me howling because I misread it was "Planters, dust their nuts with flour." Can you imagine what went through my mind? I envisioned people planting things and you surely can figure out the rest.

I know, I am sick.

:lol: Actually, I've had trouble with Planters nuts before, but I just lately found out what it was. I walked into the living room where the nuts were, and caught my hubby dipping into the nuts, he had just finished eating a sandwich! That's why I've had trouble with the nuts :o Needless to say, he won't be dipping into my nuts without washing his hands next time. :rolleyes:

I have my heart set on dusting some nuts.

Has anyone seen Johnny Depp?

Tell your hubby that your nuts are out of bounds and if he wants to be grabbing nuts with flour-filled hands than he best get his own.

He's probably out partying with Keith Richards, discussing the next sequel to Pirates...... I hope they don't fall out of any coconut trees....... :ph34r::lol:

Coconuts are good, just don't dust them. I will wait below the tree to catch Johnny. Someone else can have Keith.

I had forgotten that doctor-hating thread. CeliacMe was just too angry to be rational. I assume that's why she was banned.

I remember both CeliacMe and CeliacChap. Both were people to avoid at the time. I do hope they have improved their personalities with the diet. They are probably nice people without a chip on their shoulders and without all the anger about getting this disease.

I highly suspect they were....... Their writing styles were the same and both mentioned the same things a few times......

      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?
