Hi, this isn't a technical question, rather a request to board users....

While I understand and respect a person's right to privacy, I find it so much nicer to know the geographic region of my new "pal".

Since the time zone feature of the board is often overlooked, it's not even possible to rely on a four hour time difference as an assurance that a person is in the West... Even if we narrow it down to state or province for you concerned about Celiac stalkers :o , it would make sharing with each other so much nicer!

Many of the products, services and resources we share are zonal. For instance, I'm on the East end of Canada in New Brunswick, my mother (16 years gluten-free experience!) is in the West, in British Columbia. Many products I can get, she can't and vice versa. If we are to share our resourses, I think we can best serve each other by knowing if it's even practical to refer a certain product, or service.

Also, as we make "connections" with different people on the board, it would be nice to know what time zone they're in so we can make our posts when they are more likely to be online! I already have a half day's work in while you Westerners are just getting out of bed! :lol:

So, my challenge to all of you is to come out of your geographical closet, click on My Controls, and enter your location! :P

Well, I'm off to do evening chores, likely Mom is just finishing lunch! :blink::lol:

Oh PLEASE send me some warmth, I'm freezing my a** off! :( It's even below zero here on YOUR scale!!! -25C for the last two weeks!!!

However, this info is still only available in this post, you must click on My Controls, and edit your personal info so that people who are intersted in you can click on your user name and see your profile!

Thanks! :)

This is a great idea! Also, products in the US are quite often different from Canada as far as ingredients go. They may have the same brand name, and picture on the box, but sometimes in Canada malt is added. This is especially true with cereals. So knowing from which country you are from would help with product discussions. :rolleyes:

I Think what Tammy wanted us to do was to edit our signature and add our location to the signature. That way we know the location of the person when we answer a post from any topic page. :) The location just goes with us :lol:

How is my signature.

Lots going on in our little town with Celiac. Local Endo really testing folks.

Local Drug store is putting in a new line from the gluten-free Pantry. Maybe we want have to wait on the snail mail delivery.

Thanks for everyones help. It is good to know we are not alone in this.

God Bless :D

I'm with Karen; message board illiterate! I'm posting to see if this turns out right.

We've got a good health food store in Key Largo with some gluten-free foods and the owner is very receptive to suggestions for additional products. There's also Wild Oats in Miami for those who want to make the trip up the 18 mile stretch.

Good to see so many people coming out of the closet! :D

Man, Broncobux, you get around! :blink::lol:

I've had many different addresses over the years, but so far just gluten-free in NB! Sure glad I've had my mom's 16+ yrs experience with this, although she's learned a few new things since I went gluten-free! ;) This board among them! :)

Glad to have you all as part of my day, I'm learning a ton, and not feeling like such a misfit!

Just a note...

If you change your signature and enter a post you've posted in or click on your user name, it should reflect that change, provided that the you open the post after you make the change or refresh it. It's fine to post, but just wanted to let you know :lol:

Can we try and get this started up again? It's such a good idea, and we always seem to be asking if the products are in Canada or the U.S. And even chain stores seem to be East, or West! It's so easy to check out which state or province the post is coming from if your location is in your signature. :rolleyes:

      Severe severe mouth pain

      @knitty kitty thank you for replying so quickly! I have not done well at all taking vitamins or supplements, I have such a hard time swallowing even small pills, so I have resorted to crushing them and taking them with Gatorade. Pretty much I eat baked chicken tenders, Fairlife chocolate protein shakes, gluten free crackers. Thank you so much for the advice...

      Severe severe mouth pain

      Hi, thank you for the quick reply! I was diagnosed about 5 years ago I think, I try to be extremely careful with what I eat so I don't get cross contamination. I used to get little sores in my mouth when I was little, usually from sucking on hard candy, but L-lisene would clear it right up. I got that Nasal Navage thing and used it twice and that's when...

      The thiamax and benfo I ordered should come tomorrow. I will start Friday ny b complex the benfo and thiamax for breakfast. I haven't ordered magnesium yet. I wanted to start with this first then add magnesium. Should it be fine to take b complex the thia/benfo and eventually magnesium at breakfast together? Thanks

      Severe severe mouth pain

      By trents · Posted

      @Charlie1946, celiac disease damages the lining of the small bowel which is the part of the intestinal track where all our nutrition is absorbed. Celiac disease, therefore, often results in nutritional deficiency related health issues. In addition, you describe a diet that sounds largely devoid of fruits and vegetables and dairy (for calcium). This does not bode well for good oral health or good health in general.  It can take two years or more for good healing of the lining of the small bowel after adopting a consistently gluten free diet. In the meantime, adding in good quality supplements can help compensate for poor nutritional absorption efficiency. Common over the counter vitamins and supplements are often optimized for shelf life rather than good assimilation/utilization by the body. We commonly recommend that those struggling with nutritional deficiencies start taking high potency B-complex, 5-10,000 IU of E daily, D3, Zinc and magnesium glycinate. They need to be checked to make sure they are gluten free since wheat starch can be used as a filler in pills and vitamins. Costco Kirkland Signature and Nature Made brands are often good choices. What is causing your swallowing problems? Is it the thrush?

      Hi, thank you for the quick reply! I was diagnosed about 5 years ago I think,  I try to be extremely careful with what I eat so I don't get cross contamination. I used to get little sores in my mouth when I was little, usually from sucking on hard candy, but L-lisene would clear it right up. I got that Nasal Navage thing and used it twice and that's when I thought I had a sinus infection. So I got a z pack. Then I noticed my tongue was coated and it was white except right down the middle which was more brown and crusty, like the corners of my mouth. I also have dry mouth and I went way too long before I started treating it. So then I had some kind of huge pill and Nystatin mouthwash. My mother in law's new husband ( they live upstairs) started complaining of exactly the same symptoms as me. He went to urgent care, they said it wasn't thrush, it was shingles. We both went to our dentist's for cleanings, I don't have insurance so I really couldn't tell they cleaned my teeth at all. But she said my mouth looked good, all cleared up. I had a day and a half of no pain and then it came right back. So I got more pills and miracle mouthwash. There are times it feels like dry socket and times it feels like it's bleeding but it's not. I don't see any gum or facial swelling, I did see a couple of tiny ulcers on my bottom lip, roof of my mouth is still sore, and my tongue and cheeks are still a little coated. I am just at a loss. My mother in law's husband, they  took swabs and called back a week later and said it was a new herpes variant virus that is going around but not contagious. He was cured after a week! And I'm going on 3 months 😭
