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

      Neither of them were anemic 6 months after the Celiac diagnosis. His other vitamin levels (d, B12) were never low. My daughters levels were normal after the first 6 months. Is the thiamine test just called thiamine?

      Thank you! That's helpful. My kids eat very little processed food. Tons of fruit, vegetables, cheese, eggs and occasional red meat. We do a lot of rice and bean bowls, stir fry, etc. Do you think with all the fruits and vegetables they need a vitamin supplement? I feel like their diet is pretty healthy and balanced with very limited processed food....

      Anti-endomysial Antibody (EMA) Testing

      That is interesting, and it's the first time I heard about the umbilical cord beings used for that test. Thanks for sharing!

      Blood tests for thiamine are unreliable.  The nutrients from your food get absorbed into the bloodstream and travel around the body.  So, a steak dinner can falsely raise thiamine blood levels in the following days.  Besides, thiamine is utilized inside cells where stores of thiamine are impossible to measure. A better test to ask for is the Erythrocyte Transketolace Activity test.  But even that test has been questioned as to accuracy.  It is expensive and takes time to do.   Because of the discrepancies with thiamine tests and urgency with correcting thiamine deficiency, the World Health Organization recommends giving thiamine for several weeks and looking for health improvement.  Thiamine is water soluble, safe and nontoxic even in high doses.   Many doctors are not given sufficient education in nutrition and deficiency symptoms, and may not be familiar with how often they occur in Celiac disease.  B12 and Vitamin D can be stored for as long as a year in the liver, so not having deficiencies in these two vitamins is not a good indicator of the status of the other seven water soluble B vitamins.  It is possible to have deficiency symptoms BEFORE there's changes in the blood levels.   Ask your doctor about Benfotiamine, a form of thiamine that is better absorbed than Thiamine Mononitrate.  Thiamine Mononitrate is used in many vitamins because it is shelf-stable, a form of thiamine that won't break down sitting around on a store shelf.  This form is difficult for the body to turn into a usable form.  Only thirty percent is absorbed in the intestine, and less is actually used.   Thiamine interacts with all of the other B vitamins, so they should all be supplemented together.  Magnesium is needed to make life sustaining enzymes with thiamine, so a magnesium supplement should be added if magnesium levels are low.   Thiamine is water soluble, safe and nontoxic even in high doses.  There's no harm in trying.

      Yes, I do think they need a Thiamine supplement at least. Especially since they eat red meat only occasionally. Most fruits and vegetables are not good sources of Thiamine.  Legumes (beans) do contain thiamine.  Fruits and veggies do have some of the other B vitamins, but thiamine B 1 and  Cobalamine B12 are mostly found in meats.  Meat, especially organ meats like liver, are the best sources of Thiamine, B12, and the six other B vitamins and important minerals like iron.   Thiamine has antibacterial and antiviral properties.  Thiamine is important to our immune systems.  We need more thiamine when we're physically ill or injured, when we're under stress emotionally, and when we exercise, especially outside in hot weather.  We need thiamine and other B vitamins like Niacin B 3 to keep our gastrointestinal tract healthy.  We can't store thiamine for very long.  We can get low in thiamine within three days.  Symptoms can appear suddenly when a high carbohydrate diet is consumed.  (Rice and beans are high in carbohydrates.)  A twenty percent increase in dietary thiamine causes an eighty percent increase in brain function, so symptoms can wax and wane depending on what one eats.  The earliest symptoms like fatigue and anxiety are easily contributed to other things or life events and dismissed.   Correcting nutritional deficiencies needs to be done quickly, especially in children, so their growth isn't stunted.  Nutritional deficiencies can affect intelligence.  Vitamin D deficiency can cause short stature and poor bone formation.   Is your son taking anything for the anemia?  Is the anemia caused by B12 or iron deficiency?

      Thank you! That's helpful. My kids eat very little processed food. Tons of fruit, vegetables, cheese, eggs and occasional red meat. We do a lot of rice and bean bowls, stir fry, etc.  Do you think with all the fruits and vegetables they need a vitamin supplement? I feel like their diet is pretty healthy and balanced with very limited processed food. The only processed food they eat regularly is a bowl of Cheerios here and there.  Could shaking legs be a symptom of just a one-time gluten exposure? I guess there's no way to know for sure if they're getting absolutely zero exposure because they do go to school a couple times a week. We do homeschool but my son does a shared school 2x a week and my daughter does a morning Pre-K 3 x a week.  At home our entire house is strictly gluten free and it is extremely rare for us to eat out. If we eat at someone else's house I usually just bring their food. When we have play dates we bring all the snacks, etc. I try to be really careful since they're still growing. They also, of course, catch kids viruses all the time so I  want to make sure I know whether they're just sick or they've had gluten. It can be pretty confusing when they're pretty young to even be explaining their symptoms!
