Once again my posts have been deleted without explanation or comment.... just like they were never there???

Meanwhile there is a thread with several rule violations where people are mentioning there own websites.

Why are posts deleted or the whole thread so far as I can see in one thread and another has incvreasing rule violations and not a peep from a mod?

Hi Steve :) ,

First, the only one who can delete a post (other than the person who posted) is Scott. The mods can render a thread "invisable", but it's never actually deleted. Sometimes we do that if a thread has gotten particularly nasty, or if the member only posted to sell something. It is then up to Scott what will be done with it. We (mods) do not have the capability to render a single post invisable.

Be assured that whenever I see a website being featured in someone's signature, I report it. You would not be aware of this, as only the mods and Scott would see the report. There would be some lag time between the report, and the link being gone.

Anytime you see something that you feel is against the rules (we are only human, and are not on all the time), you can hit the "report" button and report it yourself. ;)

Richard,

I'm not sure if this is the thread Steve was referring to, but yesterday someone posted for the first time claiming that he "cured" his Celiac Disease. There was at least one complaint that I remember, and this morning, the thread is gone.

Steve, in a case like this, anyone who happened to post in the thread will have had their post (s) deleted. A little like an innocent bystander :D

One new poster assualted me. Steve missed it, but it was after one of his posts that she got nasty. I called her on it, she got nastier. The WHOLE THING was deleted starting with Steve's post. One of my posts that should have been deleted wasn't, so you can still see it there and all it says is "deleted post". If that's the thread, Steve, that's what happened. I agree that your post didn't need to be deleted, but the rest did.

Carla-I can't believe anybody would be nasty to you, you are always so helpful. Some people are just so rude.

I actually belong to another forum, and it is for adults who have braces well in the last week we had a new poster who got banned. She came on explaining her treatment and then started asking all sorts of questions for pictures and different things. When people questioned her she got very nasty and would get all fired up. I know a few members reported her as being a fetish poster looking for pictures of girls.

It is horrible when people come in and disrupt the community.

Thank you. :wub: I may not have come across nice to her ;) ... she jumped on Steve, rudely, and, like I said, I called her on it, pointed out to her that her assessment was incorrect. She was insulting to ALL members of the board, actually, in the things she said, including the first poster who needed support. I explained to her, without lowering myself to her level, how wrong she was. I just couldn't let someone come on here and make that kind of blanket judgments about all of us. Scott deleted all the posts, as he should have. Steve's post was one of the ones that got deleted ... I'm betting that's the post he's referring to. If he didn't see any of the posts that were deleted, it would seem his was singled out, but it wasn't ... I would say about 10 posts were deleted altogether.

To hijack the thread momentarily, how are the braces going? My ortho says I'll get mine off early, in 9-12 months!! YAY! I can't believe how much better my teeth are looking!

Actually, good news! I was there on Monday, and we are looking at finshing in May or June. It will be nice, in time for the October wedding. We are waiting on the gaps to close where I had two teeth pulled. It is very tiny, so not much left.

Good news for you. Early removal is a good sign. I too am amazed at how much nicer they look. I cannot wait until they are finished. Overall it has been a good experience.

That is good news!

Overall this has been a good experience for me, too. The most important thing is that my TMJ feels better. I was worried about wearing all stainless steel braces at 43, but I quickly learned that NO ONE CARES! :lol: I've never had a negative comment about them. Sometimes I wear red lipstick just to show off my most expensive fashion accessory!! :lol:

I have to say they are my most expensive as well, I got clear ones because I too was worried about the look. I am happy I paid the extra money for them, it was worth it.

I've been wondering about deleted posts also. If a post does not get a response, is it then deleted? I've posted a couple of times about an IgG antibody test I had done, but it suddenly disappeared. Is it because no one responded?

Just curious.

Thanks

That wasn't an option for me.

Hubby wears invisalign though. It's done wonders for his teeth and he's been able to bleach them while they're moving.

A post is deleted because it has violated the board rules. If a thread gets into arguement mode, Scott has the option of deleting the entire thread.

Sorry, next time I'll be sure you get the memo -- Carla's arguing on such and such a thread! :lol: And, it wasn't at night. ;) You just plain missed it! LOL

As for a thread with no responses, if you are using the "view new posts", it won't show up if it hasn't had any responses. Otherwise, it still should be there in the section where you posted it.

I was offered that but I declined because I didn't trust myself.

If you started a thread that violated rules you would have heard about it. I'm guessing nobody replied and your post disappeared from "view new posts."

I also have had some of my replies disapear, and I know darn well they were not rude or violating any rules. At first I second guessed myself, wondering what I did wrong. But just figured it was a glitch on the board.

k,

Here's what I do. Click on "Gluten-Free Celiac Disease Forum at Celiac.com (Home)" above, under your name. Make that your shortcut on your desktop. When you use it to come to the forum, scroll near the bottom and click on "today's active topics" (in Board Statistics). Now you will see all the posts, no matter how many times or how often you visit.

best regards, lm

      "Risk free genetically"? Very low risk, actually. But, we are still learning about the genetics of celiac disease. Speaking of milk, some studies show that CMP (Cow's Milk Protein) can damage the small bowel villi like celiac disease does. Also, some meds (NSAIDS, Olmesartan - a blood pressure med) and some infections can also blunt SB villi.

      I went to ER on the 30th because I didn't want to wait and saw dr at desk for intake. I went for NOTHING!. ER Dr was very nice but made it seem as if I was a nut case rater than coming in for real issues calmly explaining its staph! Staph,  by look no blood test, no skin test. No looking in my nose and throat was given a prescription for jock cream and some pills ! I made the mistake of saying Im waiting on Infectious disease. She asked how did I get referral and I said I did it online.The next day I checked the status and it was denied! I did get  a referral to the dermatology office i went to last year that over charged me and did a biopsy on me stating inconclusive! I went to another dermatologist and he stated I should see Infectious disease at place i put in referral. With that I contacted that dermatologist and waiting to see if he thinks dermatology or Infectious disease is the route.I do have appointment for dermatology next week.Until then i did purchase Zahler paraGuard advance intestinal  flora support  from Sprouts. Im also very alarmed that the fact celiac isn't addressed properly infact its downplayed. When I had my son tested for HLA-DQ2 and it came out positive because he is eating everything and he is extremely skinny but he isn't dealing with severe diagestive issues because thats all he knows NOW or yet because he is still young 21.I too didn't know any difference when i was that age because thats all we know.Life changes will get him in latter years im afraid because what im dealing with.That scares me.The specialist we went to was only about congestion he is getting.He is getting congestion because he is eating what he isn't supposed too! Zero talk about celiac and HLA-DQ2 positive. Only talk was he is congested because we live in the Valley! They wanted to do surgery! I did write again to our district leader considering when I did call, the guy stated he knew all about celiac. I really wanted to tell him NO YOU DON'T but held my tongue. For my skin sores the cream given didn't do anything because ive also had in past.Ive been putting liquid vitamin c on it and taking vitamins which is making a little difference just with the last few days of doing.

      I have been Gluten Free for 25 years and havent eaten gluten knowingly during that time.   Such a rocky life, I have had issues since I was 16 when physicians stated I needed to see a psychiatrist. I am now 70 years old. I also had Dermatitis herpetiformis. I had negative tests on biopsy, blood test etc but no doctor mentioned that I needed to do a gluten challenge. I went on an elimination diet and found relief on the Dermatitis within a month. I have no doubt that I am celiac and very sensitive now. Now my issue is that I changed physicians due to retirement and he performed a blood test and included a celiac test. I was very upset because I did not request the test and had not been eating gluten for 25 years. Of course the test was negative.  My question - Will this cause me any issues with health treatment if my records now have that I dont have celiac? I like this physician and I am appalled that he performed the test. (he told me his brother is also celiac).  I feel that we are still living in the dark ages. I dont want to cause problems because I rarely need health treatment since I live a fairly healthy lifestyle.  Since I am at this age and been through so much getting to this point am I being unreasonable for being upset? I am not expecting to see this physician for another 2 months.  Need to know if I can expect issues with future treatments. How can a physician not know about the gluten challenge this day and age?

      @Aretaeus Cappadocia! The post you were looking for about omeprazol acting as an anti-inflammatory/immunosuppressant was made (yesterday, I believe) by knitty kitty. Current guidelines for the gluten challenge prior to an endoscopy/biopsy of the small bowel is the daily consumption of at least 10g of gluten (about the amount in 4-6 slices of wheat flour bread) for at least two weeks prior to the day of the procedure. @Ginarwebb, your tTG-IGA >250 would seem to be a pretty high test result, though to be sure of that statement, I would need to see what the lab used for a "normal" range. Do you have that number also? Different labs use different scales. There isn't an industry standard yet. The tTG-IGA is the centerpiece of celiac blood antibody testing. Your ENDOMYSIAL ANTIBODY SCR (IGA) W/REFL TO TITER (aka, "EMA") is positive as well. This is an older test, and a relative expensive one, compared to the tTG-IGA which has largely replaced. But the EMA is still ordered by some docs and is highly reliable. That both of them agree in your case and this is strong evidence that you have celiac disease. Concerning the ENDOMYSIAL ANTIBODY TITER (aka, "total IGA") being high, there are two things of importance. First, it tells us you are not "IGA deficient" such that your tTG-IGA test result is reliable. Second, a high total IGA test score can suggest other health concerns, some of which are serious. It can also mean nothing. Talk to your doctor about this. I would also suggest you research the implications of a high total IGA. In addition to IGA celiac diagnostic tests there are also IGG tests which are handy when total IGA is sub normal.  Here is an article outlining the various tests that can be run for diagnosing celiac disease:
