just wondering if anyone else has trouble remembering who is who sometimes on this board? sometimes there might be a particular thing about someone that stands out to me for some reason and then i can keep track of them better-----but it just seems to happen (alot) that i can't keep peoples names and their particular symptoms connected. maybe i just don't post often enough?

Chrissy,

I completely understand! It took me a long time to feel like I "knew" who some people were. I think its a combination of things....time spent posting, time since joining the board, etc. For me, people's signatures really helped a lot too (helped jog my memory).

But, its DEFINITELY not you!!!!!!!!! Especially with the board the size that it is, I think it's normal.

Yes, the board has really grown in the last little while. When I first joined I was 6,000 and something. (I had to re-join again after big problems with changing addresses and such) and now there is over 12,000.

Some come and go, and some names are close to other names, so I have to think about which one I'm posting too ...

And in my case .... it's probably an age thing too :lol:

Hi Christine

the old 'friends list' had a place for additional comments and that's where I'd put things to help me remember.

IS there a place like that on the new format??

also there is a place under your

my controls' where you can cut and paste or type personal stuff.. maybe someone else can direct her better than I can on this 'snippet' thing.

I don't have any trouble with knowing who is who--now. The first few months on the board were a different story. :huh:

I think it just takes some time, and it also (I think) depends on how much time you spend on the board.

And, it probebly has something to do with my being a bit of a busybody :D Yep, I admit it :ph34r:

Judy, I think there's a way you can set up your internet browser so the font is always bigger. Hopefully someone who knows how to do it will pop in and let us know :rolleyes:

Thanks Mango.

People have tried to help me do it.

I can be done and hubby did do it for my email but we can't seem to get this forum type to be bigger

i know it can enlarge fonts to send out a message but can't seem to change my reception fonts.

thanks for caring.

Judy, don't feel bad, it's small for me, too. I cannot post without wearing my glasses, and I can read the newspaper without them. It's when I'm reading for a long time or playing my flute that I really need them. But this type is small and hard to read.

Even when I change my Avatar my little Sheba is always in it some where :P

You are right, it is small type, although I expect the teenagers can read it just fine. Would be nice if we could jack it up just a bit more though.

I just discovered something. Did I tell you that I love pushing buttons ? :lol:

Anyway ... if you have the up-dated version of Internet Explorer ... got to the top bar, and find the 'page' button ... it's top right, click on that, click on zoom and click on 150% or higher if you want, then all the posts will be bigger for you.

Hooray! for Shirley. But darnit I had to start running Firefox instead, my darling nephew gave my computer a bug so when I use IE I get pop ups every where. I feel like the guy on the ad playing space invaders with the pop ups! LOL They pop up as fast as you can close them out.

Yes, I have trouble keeping straight who is who. I will be changing my avatar soon, I have an absolutely adorable picture of my grandson with his hair spiked into a mohawk!

Judy, once I realized you were using all caps so you could see what you were writing, I didn't mind being yelled at all. It's like a partially deaf person yelling at you so she can hear what she is saying. I will try to use larger fonts when I post, but please don't be upset if I forget sometimes.

For those with Safari (I have IE too, but my kids won't let me on it to refresh my memory) go up to the top of your Safari page and click on View and then scroll down to "make text bigger" That'll do it!! I'm a computer whiz so if you need any help with anything else just let me know.

Oh and you have your capitals but have you noticed I LOVE my exclamation points?????????? I don't know why but I like to put them after almost every sentence LOL!!!!!

Hi all

you guys are the best.

Just talked to my web designed son on the phone and he said i can re install fire fox.

I deleted my Microsoft browser when i put fire fox on and then when trying to enlarge my fonts i deleted firfox..so ....

will try to load it again.

wish me luck.

someone ..thought it was on this thread but isn't..said they were IT people and would help.

Don't know where they are now...well here goes...off to try it.

I put fire fox on when i was trying to see the Heidi Collins video.

      Your concern about certified gluten-free cricket powder is completely valid, as cross-contamination in both feedstock and processing is a real issue. Currently, the availability of certified gluten-free options is limited, but brands like Chapul and Entomo Farms, which I believe have offered products processed in dedicated facilities and labeled gluten-free...

      Thus has got to STOP , medical bit believing us! I literally went through 31 years thinking it was just a food allergy as its downplayed by medical if THEY weren't the ones who diagnosed us! Im positive for HLA-DQ2 which is first celiac patient per Iran and Turkey. Here in the States especially in Cali its why do you feel that way? Why do you think your celiac? Your not eating gluten so its something else.Medical caused me depression. I thought I was safe with my former pcp for 25 years considering i thought everything I went through and going through will be available when I get fired again for health. Health not write-ups my health always come back when you're better.Im not and being tossed away at no fault to my own other than shitty genes.I was denied disability because person said he didn't know how to classify me! I said Im celiac, i have ibs, hernia, sciatica, high blood pressure, in constant pain have skin and eye issues and menopause intensified everything. With that my celiac nightmare began to reprove my disregarded disease to a bunch of clowns who think they are my careteam when they said I didn't have...I feel Im still breathing so I can fight this so no body else has to deal with this nightmare. Starting over with " new care team" and waisting more time on why I think I am when diagnosed in 1994 before food eliminated from my diet. P.s everything i went through I did write to medical board, so pretty sure I will continue to have a hard time.

      @Scatterbrain, Thiamine Vitamin B1 and amino acid Taurine work together.  Our bodies can make Taurine from meats consumed.  Our bodies cannot make Thiamine and must consume thiamine from food.  Meat is the best source of B vitamins like Thiamine.   Vegetarians may not make sufficient taurine since they don't eat meat sources of taurine.  Seaweed is the best vegetarian source of taurine. Vegetarians may not consume sufficient Thiamine since few veggies are good sources.  Whole grains, legumes, and nuts and seeds contain thiamine.  Many of these sources can be hard to digest and absorb for people with Celiac disease.   You may find taking the forms of thiamine called Benfotiamine or TTFD (tetrahydrofurfuryl disulfide) and a B Complex will give the benefits you're looking for better than taurine alone.

      @Jmartes71, I went to Doterra's site and had a look around.  The Doterra TerraZyme supplement really jumped out at me.  Since we, as Celiacs, often have digestive problems, I looked at the ingredients.  The majority of the enzymes in this supplement are made using black mold, Aspergillus!  Other enzymes are made by yeast Saccharomyces!  Considering the fact that Celiac often have permeable intestines (leaky gut syndrome), I would be very hesitant to take a product like this.  Although there may not be live black mold or yeast in the product, the enzymes may still cause an immune system response which would definitely cause inflammation throughout the body.   Skin, eyes, and intestines are all made from the same basic type of cells.  Your skin on the outside and eyes can reflect how irritated the intestines are on the inside.  Our skin, eyes, and intestines all need the same vitamins and nutrients to be healthy:  Vitamin A, Niacin B3 and Tryptophan, Riboflavin B2, Biotin B7, Vitamin C, and Omega Threes.  Remember that the eight B vitamins work together.  Just taking high doses of just one, vitamin like B12, can cause a deficiency in the others.  Taking high doses of B12 can mask a Folate B9 deficiency.  If you take B12, please take a B Complex, too.  Thiamine B1 can be taken in high doses safely without toxicity.  Thiamine is needed by itself to produce energy so every cell in the body can function, but Thiamine also works with the other B vitamins to make life sustaining enzymes and digestive enzymes.  Deficiencies in either Niacin, Vitamin C, or Thiamine can cause digestive problems resulting in Pellagra, Scurvy, and Gastrointestinal Beriberi.   If you change your diet, you will change your intestinal microbiome.  Following the Autoimmune Protocol Diet, a Paleo diet, will starve out SIBO bacteria.  Thiamine keeps bacteria in check so they don't get out of control as in SIBO.  Thiamine also keeps MOLDS and Yeasts from overgrowth.   Menopause symptoms and menstrual irregularities are symptomatic of low Vitamin D.   Doctors are not as knowledgeable about malnutrition as we need them to be.  A nutritionist or dietician would be more helpful.   Take control of your diet and nutrition.  Quit looking for a pill that's going to make you feel better overnight.  The Celiac journey is a marathon, not a sprint.   "Let food be your medicine, and let medicine be your food."

      The Lindt (Lindor) dairy-free oat milk truffles are definitely gluten-free, and (last time I checked) so are the white chocolate truffles and the mint chocolate truffles.
