I was enjoying reading about the Spring weather in one of the topics today, but it would be so nice to know where you are talking about. Let's add our State to our signature, and that way we know a little more about each person.

Good Idea!

To put which state you are from is great, but it really makes the forum easier if you at least put which country you are from as the products are so different from the U.S., Canada, England etc.

Even the same products, with the same name and box design will have different ingredients. So when you are answering a post, it's great to be able to see which country the poster is from :P

I guess I'm too stupid to figure out how to put a signature with my name. So that is why my state is not there.

Hush, don't be so hard on yourself! You are most certainly NOT stupid. It's just something that you haven't learned how to do yet. And we must learn something everyday to keep us healthy and reasonably sane :lol: And if the truth be known, we've all had to have it explained to us sometime.

So ... scroll up to the top of this page that you are in. You will see you user name up on the left hand side. click on that and it will take you to your personal page. When you get to that click on "my controls" And then along the left there will be a menu. Scroll down until you see "edit signature" and you can put what ever you like :D

I'm sure there are several other ways of doing it, but that's how I get there :rolleyes:

If you go to 'my controls', then to 'edit profile information', you scroll down to 'my location' and put it in, click on 'amend my profile', and it will appear on the left hand side below your avatar.

Some people don't feel comfortable with that "identifying" information, so they don't have it included in their descriptor section. Its a personal choice as to how much people feel safe with posting information.

Well, that's why I don't put the name of my town, because it's a fairly small town. With putting what I do you sort of get an idea of where I am, but Ontario is huge (just about as big as all of Germany), so I feel it is safe to put my province and country.

If I were clever enough to remember how I did it the first time I would have written a description :D

This has nothing to do with the thread but I haven't seen the name "Oma" since I was little, brings back memories if it means what I think it does.

It's German for Grandma (Dutch as well). So, it isn't my name, just who I am to little Hanna and the other little sweeties I call my grandchildren. :D

      This is a very common question, and the most important thing to know is that no, Guinness is not considered safe for individuals with coeliac disease.

      Guinness, can you drink it?

      Before being diagnosed coeliac I used to love Guinness. Being made from barley it should be something a coeliac shouldn’t drink. But taking to another coeliac and they can drink it with no ill effects and have heard of others who can drink it too. is this everyone’s experience? Can I drink it? I get dermatitis herpetiformis and don’t get instant react...

      Taking Probiotics but Still Getting Sick After Gluten – Advice?

      NCGS does not cause damage to the small bowel villi so, if indeed you were not skimping on gluten when you had the antibody blood testing done, it is likely you have celiac disease.

      Guinness, can you drink it?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      This is a very common question, and the most important thing to know is that no, Guinness is not considered safe for individuals with coeliac disease. While it's fascinating to hear anecdotes from other coeliacs who can drink it without immediate issues, this is a risky exception rather than the rule. The core issue is that Guinness is brewed from barley, which contains gluten, and the standard brewing process does not remove the gluten protein to a level safe for coeliacs (below 20ppm). For someone like you who experiences dermatitis herpetiformis, the reaction is particularly significant. DH is triggered by gluten ingestion, even without immediate gastrointestinal symptoms. So, while you may not feel an instant stomach upset, drinking a gluten-containing beer like Guinness could very well provoke a flare-up of your skin condition days later. It would be a gamble with a potentially uncomfortable and long-lasting consequence. Fortunately, there are excellent, certified gluten-free stouts available now that can provide a safe and satisfying alternative without the risk.

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      I will assume you did the gluten challenge properly and were eating a lot of gluten daily for 6-8 weeks before your test, but if not, that could be the issue. You can still have celiac disease with negative blood test results, although it's not as common:  Clinical and genetic profile of patients with seronegative coeliac disease: the natural history and response to gluten-free diet: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5606118/  Seronegative Celiac Disease - A Challenging Case: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC9441776/  Enteropathies with villous atrophy but negative coeliac serology in adults: current issues: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/34764141/  Approximately 10x more people have non-celiac gluten sensitivity than have celiac disease, but there isn’t yet a test for NCGS. If your symptoms go away on a gluten-free diet it would likely signal NCGS.
