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

      Hi,  My 7 year daughter has complained of this in the past, which I thought were part of her glutening symptom, but more recently I have come to figure out it's part of her histamine overload symptom. This one symptom was part of her broader profile, which included irritability, extreme hunger, confusion, post-nasal drip. You might want to look up "histamine intolerance". I wish I had known of this at the time of her diagnosis, life would have been much easier.  I hope you are able to figure out.

      My 5yo was diagnosed with celiac last year by being tested after his sister was diagnosed. We are very strict on the gluten-free diet, but unsure what his reactions are as he was diagnosed without many symptoms other than low ferritin.  He had a school party where his teacher made gluten-free gingerbread men. I almost said no because she made it in her kitchen but I thought it would be ok.  Next day and for a few after his behavior is awful. Hitting, rude, disrespectful. Mainly he kept saying his legs were shaking. Is this a gluten exposure symptom that anyone else gets? Also the bad behavior?

      Not necessarily. The "Gluten Free" label means not more than 20ppm of gluten in the product which is often not enough for super sensitive celiacs. You would need to be looking for "Certified Gluten Free" (GFCO endorsed) which means no more than 10ppm of gluten. Having said that, "Gluten Free" doesn't mean that there will necessarily be more gluten than "Certified Gluten" in any given batch run. It just means there could be.

      I think it is wise to seek a second opinion from a GI doc and to go on a gluten free diet in the meantime. The GI doc may look at all the evidence, including the biopsy report, and conclude you don't need anything else to reach a dx of celiac disease and so, there would be no need for a gluten challenge. But if the GI doc does want to do more testing, you can worry about the gluten challenge at that time. But between now and the time of the appointment, if your symptoms improve on a gluten free diet, that is more evidence. Just keep in mind that if a gluten challenge is called for, the bare minimum challenge length is two weeks of the daily consumption of at least 10g of gluten, which is about the amount found in 4-6 slices of wheat bread. But, I would count on giving it four weeks to be sure.
