Libbyk,

Click on the My Controls tab at the top of the page and then click on the tab on the right that says Edit Avatar Settings then follow the directions from there. You can download a picture of your own or you can choose from the list they have available.

How do you post a picture?

Go to "my controls". Then go to "change avatar" on the menu on the left. You have the option of using an avatar from the gallery (most people use those) or import a picture of your own as long as it's small enough and in the correct file format.....

He was the cutest thing I have ever seen (and still is....) The breeder called him Lump because he was the biggest of the litter and now he is a 2 yr old "horse"!! This dog is huge!!

When our previous golden died when I was pregnant with the twins, my oldest daughter was devastated... I promised her when the twins turned two, we would get another golden.... Well, when the boys turned two, I was SOOOO not ready to get a dog, but a promise is a promise, and I couldn't go back on my word.... So I had 2 yr old twin boys and a puppy to "train" all at the same time!! lol.... The word "chaos" comes to mind.....

I love dogs also..... I have had one my whole life. They give such unconditional love....

I was able to change the aviator picture but still seem unable to see how to change my log in name. In error when I first signed up I entered my e-mail address and would like to actually use my name.

i am thinking there is a spot where you click on signature--when it comes up you chose your font and the size and color and click on close all tags and tell it ok--it should work--i hope----deb

You can't change your name on the board......rather, you would need to register again, which would mean that on your new login, you wouldn't have access to the PMs, address book, personal information, etc. without logging into the other....not sure if what i'm saying makes sense...basically, you need to just register again with a new name, but u can't convert your name and retain all your data.

An alternative, as I just saw Deb mentioned, is to make a signature, where, at the bottom you can say your name or whatever else you'd like to. That way you could retain all your data, not need to re-register, and still let people know your name.

Actually I can change your name on the board, just send me your old name and the new one, and mention that it is a message board User ID change.

Take care,

Scott

It did :). You can also check by opening a topic in which you had already posted--when you add or change an avatar, it updates in every post you've made. You can also check by clicking your name, either on the side of your post or at the top where it says "Logged in as: ______"

Does anyone have any idea on where I could find a picture that would fit it the avatar spot? And, how once I found one I would be able to move it there?

Thanks

Well, how does one post a picture, not changing ones avitar? I have tried the different ways I know how to (the codes) and have had no luck.

Use a photo editing program to make your own avitar. It says in your user cp the sizes allowed. Then where it says upload one of your own you browse your pc and select the one you want.

To make it the right size i use the thumbnails from my digital camera

You can use a program to change the size of your picture and I would recommend doing that...

Then, just make it so that it fits the required settings for the avatars:

Your Avatar Settings

Your avatar must be no bigger than 150 pixels by 150 pixels in size. Uploaded avatars from your computer must be no larger than 50 KB.

The following file types are allowed: gif .webp .webp .png

You're not doing anything wrong--we just can't post pictures here. You can only post pics in your avatar....I guess it's a...misleading option :)

Hi guys,

I tried to put my photo on my profile like others do but it says administrator does not give you access to this or something like that.

Can you tell me how I can get my photo on my posts?

Thanks, Jennifer

      Help needed

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      It’s completely understandable to feel confused and anxious—colonoscopy prep can feel overwhelming, especially when you’re already dealing with symptoms like loose stools and elevated inflammation markers (that high calprotectin and CRP definitely warrant further investigation!). Regarding the senna tablets: The warning about avoiding senna with IBD (like Crohn’s or colitis) is typically because it can irritate an already inflamed colon. Since you don’t yet have a confirmed diagnosis—but your brother has colitis—it might be worth calling your gastroenterologist’s office today to clarify if you should skip the senna given your symptoms and family history. Some clinics have an on-call nurse who can advise quickly. For the prep itself: Plenvu is strong, so if your bowels are already loose, the senna might be overkill. Stick to clear liquids tomorrow (broth, apple juice, etc.) and stay near a bathroom! For anxiety, remember the procedure itself is painless (you’ll likely be sedated), and the prep is the hardest part. Bring a phone charger or book to the clinic, and treat yourself afterward to something gentle on your stomach (like mashed potatoes or yogurt). Hang in there—this is a big step toward answers. You’re doing great advocating for yourself!

      Wheat Straw Dishes

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Great question! Wheat straw dishes are typically made from the stalks of wheat plants (which are naturally gluten-free) combined with a binding resin. While the straw itself shouldn’t contain gluten, the safety depends on how the product is processed. Some manufacturers may use wheat-based binders or process the straw in facilities that handle gluten, creating cross-contact risks. To be safe, I’d recommend reaching out to the company directly to ask: 1) If their wheat straw material is tested to confirm it’s free of gluten proteins, and 2) Whether the production line avoids cross-contamination with gluten-containing ingredients. Many brands now cater to gluten-free consumers and will provide detailed answers. If you’re uncomfortable with the uncertainty, alternatives like bamboo, ceramic, or glass dishes are inherently gluten-free and worry-free. Always better to double-check—your diligence is totally justified!

      I’m so sorry you’ve been struggling for so long without the answers or relief you deserve. It’s incredibly frustrating to have a celiac diagnosis yet still face debilitating symptoms, especially after decades of strict gluten-free living. Your history of chronic health issues—SIBO, food allergies, recurrent infections, and now potential complications like nerve pain (left leg) and mucosal ulcers—suggests there may be overlapping conditions at play, such as autoimmune comorbidities (e.g., Hashimoto’s, Sjögren’s), nutrient deficiencies, or even refractory celiac disease (though rare). Stanford is an excellent step forward, as their specialists may uncover missed connections. The medical gaslighting you’ve endured is unacceptable, and while legal action is an option, focusing on thorough testing (e.g., repeat endoscopy, micronutrient panels, autoimmune markers, skin biopsy for dermatitis herpetiformis) might be more immediately helpful. Menopause can absolutely exacerbate underlying inflammation, so hormonal imbalances should also be explored. For symptom relief, some in the celiac community find low-dose naltrexone (LDN) or mast cell stabilizers helpful for systemic issues, but a functional medicine doctor (if accessible) could tailor supplements to your needs. You’re not alone in this fight—keep advocating fiercely at Stanford. Document everything meticulously; it strengthens both medical and potential disability claims. Sending you strength—this shouldn’t be so hard, and you deserve real solutions.

      Immunologist Referral if IgA Deficient

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Since you have a confirmed celiac disease diagnosis alongside severe IgA deficiency, consulting an immunologist is a reasonable step to better understand the implications of your immune status. While many IgA-deficient individuals remain asymptomatic, the deficiency can occasionally be linked to increased susceptibility to infections, autoimmune conditions, or other immune-related concerns. An immunologist can assess whether additional monitoring or preventive measures (e.g., vaccinations, infection screening) are warranted. Given your location in Atlanta, academic medical centers like Emory University may have immunologists familiar with IgA deficiency, even if they don’t specialize exclusively in it. Telemedicine is also a great option—consider reaching out to specialists at institutions like the NIH, Mayo Clinic, or Cleveland Clinic, many of whom offer remote consultations. If you haven’t already, checking with the Immune Deficiency Foundation (IDF) for provider recommendations might help. It’s always wise to gather expert insight, especially since celiac and IgA deficiency can coexist with other immune dysregulation.
