this is a tester I have posted 3 messages to the group, and I have not gotten any response to any of them. I do get an e-mail saying Melimba2002, me, sent you a message. So it looks and sounds like I am sending messages to myself. What am I doing wrong??? THANKS IN ADvance Mindy

I can only see one other post by you. That makes two, counting this one. The other one has a number of replies. Posts here are reviewed by moderators and then pinned. Posts which have not yet been pinned are less visible, and may not attract as many readers. I am pinning this topic as I reply.

THANK-YOU SO MUCH for replying. I was so ready to unjoin. I have to apologize first off, I am not very computer savee. So the very basics to get me started. How do I go about sending a message from me. All the messages have to be pinned first... Is that the case with all my messages? Is there something special I have to do that everyone reads them? I know I sound pretty dumb I am sorry, this gluten free stuff is mind boggling and this forum is challenging too!! Thanks for your time!!!! Mindy

Hey there! Thanks for sticking around. :D

Do you want to send a private message to someone, like an email? Or are you confused about posting?

When you post a new topic, we pin them for you. So, all you have to do is post under the specific topic, and we'll see it and make sure it is in the right place, and then pin it. Just like you did with this message. ;)

And don't worry about asking questions... that's why we are all here.

      Wow! You're pretty young to have a diagnosis of SMA syndrome. But youth also has its advantages when it comes to healing, without a doubt. You might be surprised to find out how your health improves and how much better you feel once you eliminate gluten from your diet. Celiac disease is an autoimmune disorder that, when gluten is consumed, triggers an attack on the villous lining of the small bowel. This is the section of the intestines where all our nutrition is absorbed. It is made up of billions of tiny finger-like projections that create a tremendous surface area for absorbing nutrients. For the person with celiac disease, unchecked gluten consumption generates inflammation that wears down these fingers and, over time, greatly reduces the nutrient absorbing efficiency of the small bowel lining. This can generate a whole host of other nutrient deficiency related medical problems. We also now know that the autoimmune reaction to gluten is not necessarily limited to the lining of the small bowel such that celiac disease can damage other body systems and organs such as the liver and the joints and cause neurological problems.  It can take around two years for the villous lining to completely heal but most people start feeling better well before then. It's also important to realize that celiac disease can cause intolerance to some other foods whose protein structures are similar to gluten. Chief among them are dairy and oats but also eggs, corn and soy. Just keep that in mind.

      I was just diagnosed at 26 after accidental finding. Any simple tips for newbies? Things a non celiac would never think of? I already went through my prescriptions and identified some medications that have gluten. Is there a beginners guide? Celiac for dummies?

      Would it be rude to ask your age?

      Wow! Thank you @trents I  really appreciate the responses. This line of diagnosis has me questioning a lot of symptoms over the course of my life. Very validating and very much a bummer at the same time.
