I don't see anything wrong with it. I went to your blog and I bookmarked it because the blog contains some good recipes. I think it's great that you are increasing celiac awareness. :)

1. Do not be abusive or otherwise out of line towards other board members. Show respect for each board member, no matter what you think of their views. This is not a place to quarrel.

2. Do not promote your own business, Web site or products--even if they offer free services. The proper place to post your Web site, business or other services is in your profile, not in your signature block or in posts.

3. Do not spam the boards (i.e., post the same thing in multiple topics or areas of the board to bring more attention to your post), or bump posts up to bring more attention to them (Wikipedia definition of "bumping": Someone wishing to keep a thread on this first page, or bring an old thread back to it will post a reply to it purely to do this).

4. No Trolling. Wikipedia definition of trolling: "In Internet terminology, a troll is often someone who comes into an established community such as an online discussion forum, and posts inflammatory, rude, repetitive or offensive messages designed intentionally to annoy or antagonize the existing members or disrupt the flow of discussion, including the personal attack of calling others trolls. Often, trolls assume multiple aliases, or sock puppets."

These are the board guidelines/rules and they can be found by visiting this link Open Original Shared Link or looking under Forum Guidelines/Rules at the top by Calendar.

Hope that helps to answer your question Tinkerbellswt.

I should have read them again too. When I first signed up I had my blog in my signature (which I also have on other forums I am a member of). I was asked at that time to remove, and move to my profile which I did.

And this time, I hesitated to post the links. And I guess I shouldn't have even told anyone. I was really just trying to show that being gluten free is/can be more mainstream. I truthfully don't want to win for myself...I wanted to win for the attention it would give celiac disease and awareness.

I completely understand and support the rules of this forum and sorry that I inadvertently breeched that. I will NOT being doing it again as it will be a third violation and I will be asked to leave, which I certainly do not want to do.

Thanks.

Again , sorry.

Well I also voted for you and bookmarked your website! I knew your intention was to bring awareness to celiac and thought that was great.

Are you allowed to let us know if you do win?

Wow.. I'm glad that you posted that link. I'm going to see if the other thread is still here so I can bookmark your blog. If it's deleted, I may be PMing you for the address.

No. It has been deleted. Rightly so, it was a violation of the rules (see posted above). Not intentional, of course. Scott does an amazing job of gather information, articles and links for this site for us with Celiac. It's the first place I found when I went gluten free and has been a GODSEND to me. I'd be sad without it. I know he is protecting us from those who would seek to do us harm.

Yes, I understand and agree that it's for the greater benefit of the community.

I went to your profile and saved your blog. I would like to know if you win or if your blog is ever up again. Please PM the info to me. ;) Thanks!

Any chance Scott could add a link to your blog (and the election) to Celiac.com? Seems to me you have quite a lot of info and wonderful recipes to offer!

Or would one of us be allowed to post it?

I imagine Scott would need some sort of compensation...I'm sure the advertisers we see around the site pay Scott to be able to be part of it. I just don't have the funds to pay for advertising.

I'm not sure how the rules apply if others were to post the link. I would imagine it would still be a violation...I don't know.

No, it would not be a violation for somebody else to post a link to your blog. What is not allowed is self-promotion. It doesn't matter if I agree or not, those are the rules we need to follow, as it's Scott's site and he has the right to enforce his rules.

I hope it's been noted that I totally agree with you. That is exactly why I posted an apology. Not just to everyone here, but also meant for Scott. This is an AWESOME site, forum, etc. LOTS of incredible information. I'd be totally lost without this site and the countless hours he puts in making it so.

      Shingles - Could It Be Related to Gluten/ Celiac

      gluten-free Oatmeal

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Oats naturally contain a protein called avenin, which is similar to the gluten proteins found in wheat, barley, and rye. While avenin is generally considered safe for most people with celiac disease, some individuals, around 5-10% of celiacs, may also have sensitivity to avenin, leading to symptoms similar to gluten exposure. You may fall into this category, and eliminating them is the best way to figure this out. Some people substitute gluten-free quinoa flakes for oats if they want a hot cereal substitute. If you are interested in summaries of scientific publications on the topic of oats and celiac disease, we have an entire category dedicated to it which is here: https://www.celiac.com/celiac-disease/oats-and-celiac-disease-are-they-gluten-free/

      Shingles - Could It Be Related to Gluten/ Celiac

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      Hi, @Ginger38, I've had shingles in the past.  I understand how miserable you're feeling.   Not only do i have the chickenpox virus lurking about, I also have the cold sore virus that occasionally flares with a huge cold sore on my lip when stressed or exposed to gluten.  The virus lives dormant in the nerves on the left side of my face.  It causes Bell's Palsy (resulting in drooling).  The cold sore virus is also in my eye.  My eye swells up and my vision is diminished permanently whenever I have a flare, so it's of the utmost importance to keep flares away and treat them immediately if they do happen so I don't lose any more vision.   I take the amino acid supplement L-Lysine.  Lysine messes with the replication of viruses, which helps the body fight them off.   I haven't had an outbreak for several years until this year when exceptionally stressed and contaminated, it flared up again. Lysine has been shown to be beneficial in suppression of viruses like the cold sore virus (a herpetic virus), the chickenpox virus (also a herpetic virus), as well as the HIV virus, and even the Covid virus.   I also take additional Thiamine in the form TTFD (tetrahydrofurfuryl disulfide) because Thiamine has antiviral properties as well.   For pain, a combination of Thiamine (like TTFD or Benfotiamine or Thiamine Hydrochloride), with B12 Cobalamine, and Pyridoxine B6 have been shown to have analgesic properties which relieve pain and neuropathy.    The combination of Thiamine B1, Pyridoxine B6 and Cobalamine B12 really does work to relieve pain.  I take it for pain from crushed vertebrae in my back.  This combination also works on other pain and neuropathy.   I usually buy a supplement that combines all three and also Riboflavin B2 called EXPLUS online.  However, it's made in Japan and the price with the tariffs added makes it really expensive now.  But the combination of Thiamine B1, Pyridoxine B6 and B12 Cobalamine (and Riboflavin B2) still work even if taken separately.   I can't take Tylenol or ibuprofen because of stomach upsets.  But I can take the vitamin combination without side effects.  However, you can take the three vitamins at the same time as other pain relievers for added benefit.  The vitamins help other pain relievers work better. I hope you will try it.  Hopeful you'll feel better quickly.
