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.

      Patiently Waiting to See Results

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      You've done an excellent job of meticulously tracking the rash's unpredictable behavior, from its symmetrical spread and stubborn scabbing to the potential triggers you've identified, like the asthma medication and dietary changes. It's particularly telling that the rash seems to flare with wheat consumption, even though your initial blood test was negative—as you've noted, being off wheat before a test can sometimes lead to a false negative, and your description of the other symptoms—joint pain, brain fog, stomach issues—is very compelling. The symmetry of the rash is a crucial detail that often points toward an internal cause, such as an autoimmune response or a systemic reaction, rather than just an external irritant like a plant or mites. I hope your doctor tomorrow takes the time to listen carefully to all of this evidence you've gathered and works with you to find some real answers and effective relief. Don't be discouraged if the rash fluctuates; your detailed history is the most valuable tool you have for getting an accurate diagnosis.

      Gluten free beer ?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      In this case the beer is excellent, but for those who are super sensitive it is likely better to go the full gluten-free beer route. Lakefront Brewery (another sponsor!) has good gluten-free beer made without any gluten ingredients.

      Welcome to the forum, @catsrlife! Celiac disease can be diagnosed without committing to a full-blown "gluten challenge" if you get a skin biopsy done during an active outbreak of dermatitis herpetiformis, assuming that is what is causing the rash. There is no other known cause for dermatitis herpetiformis so it is definitive for celiac disease. You would need to find a dermatologist who is familiar with doing the biopsy correctly, however. The samples need to be taken next to the pustules, not on them . . . a mistake many dermatologists make when biopsying for dermatitis herpetiformis.

      How Come Gluten Didnt Bother Me In Italy

      By trents · Posted

      You state in an earlier post that you don't have celiac disease. Here in this post you state you will "be doing another test". What will this test be looking for? What kind of celiac disease testing have you had done? If you have used a Entero Labs it sounds like you have had stool testing done for celiac disease which is not widely accepted as a valid celiac disease diagnostic testing method. Have you had blood antibody testing for celiac disease done and do you realize that for antibody testing to be valid you must have been eating generous amounts of gluten for a period of weeks/months?

      By Gigi2025 · Posted

      No, I've not been diagnosed as celiac.  Despite Entero Labs being relocated to Switzerland/Greece, I'll be doing another test. After eating wheat products in Greece for 4 weeks, there wasn't any reaction.  However, avoiding it here in the states.   Thanks everyone for your responses.
