An ex-co worker was in touch with me and told me to read her stuff

on this site "my sexy crazy life" (or something like that). I did not

go to that site because I wasn' sure if she was conning me or it was some

kind of naughty site. Last time I went on "My Space" to look up my

Nephew's info, my computer picked up a virus.....

Anyone know anything about "my sexy crazy life" - please describe the site and advise

if I should avoid it. (I only want to read her info).

Thanks

Deb

Well, if she gave you an address, you can have Google check it for possible security hazards. Or type the address into Google followed by the word "security", "virus", or other such terms, and see what comes up.

Incidentally, if you want to avoid viruses and such, use the Open Original Shared Link browser.

Just use the link I posted, which will take you to Open Original Shared Link

Firefox is a web browser similar (but better) to the one you're using, except without the security holes. The site explains it in plenty of detail. If you have any questions, just ask. Feel free to PM me if you want.

They also make the Thunderbird email client, also with many security benefits.

But the best thing you can do to protect yourself from computer viruses is to follow some simple guidelines. You can also get all sort of great tips and advice here: Open Original Shared Link

      So just to be cautious, there is a big difference between cured, and responding to their medication. I assume you mean that your daughter responded well while taking KAN-101 during the trial, but the drug would not cure celiac disease, but may manage it while you are taking it. Let me know if I got this right.

      Welcome to the forum, @Godfather! "Gluten-free" is not the same as zero gluten. The FDA standard for allowing the food industry to us the gluten-free label on a product is that it cannot exceed 20 ppm of gluten. That is safe for most celiacs but not for the subset of celiacs/gltuen sensitive people who are super sensitive. "Gluten-free" wheat starch products have been processed in such a way to remove enough of the protein gluten to comply with the FDA regulation but usually do retain some gluten and we usually get reports from some people on this forum who fall in the more sensitive range that such products cause them to react. Hope this helps. So, you may just have to experiment for yourself.

      Welcome to the forum, @Dana0207! Another diagnostic approach would be to get biopsied for dermatitis herpetiformis which would not require an extensive exposure to gluten. But it would need to be done during an active outbreak of the rash. Celiac disease is the only known cause for dermatitis herpetiformis so it would be a definitive diagnosis. It might be tricky, however, to time the dermatology appointment with the gluten exposure and outbreak.

      Here is another one that is currently active. I know someone who has recently signed up to participate in it: https://celiac.org/aspirion-us/

      Is “Caputo Fioreglut Gluten Free Flour” truly gluten free?  The main ingredient is supposed to be gluten free wheat starch along with other ingredients.  However, the resulting homemade bread made with this flour so resembles homemade gluten bread that it seems Caputo must have some gluten?
