Board Outage and Recovery

The system failed around 3:23 pm (Pacific time) on Friday, November 21. Efforts to recover the database were not successful, and the board was restored from a backup taken around 1 am Pacific time on Friday.

Posts made during that period of about 14-1/2 hours are permanently lost, as are any personal messages sent during that time. Personal messages that were sent before the backup which you read on Friday will appear "new" and you will likely read them again as "new."

:lol: Ain't that the truth!

Scott--thanks for all the hard work and time you put into the board--and not just in the last few days, but every day. It means so much to so many and has helped countless people over the years.

Have a great Thanksgiving :D

Backups are a very good thing! After being up over 5 years this is the longest down time we've had-- 1.5 days, and the most data we've ever lost--about 1/2 day. Anyway, I hope the issues don't come back!

Take care,

Scott

Nice recovery, you are king for being vigilante about backups. =)

What's weird, is ibsgroup.org went down about the same time, except they lost about 5 months of data. I guess just coincidental, but it was odd, the only two boards I've been reading both go down, doh.

I'm glad you got it back up though, really good work. Backups are not always easy to keep up with, especially for a forum this big and busy!

I read this board too and thought it was very coincidental. They have pretty close the same format too! I'm also glad that we're back up!

Yes, unless they run off the same hard drive, I doubt it was the same issue, who knows though.

This is a coincidence. There is no connection between us and Open Original Shared Link

It looks like they had it a lot worse than we did. We lost 14-1/2 hours of data. It sounds like they lost 8 months of data. Speaks loudly to the importance of doing regular backups.

Yes, from what I understand they had been depending on their host to do it. That's a sticky situation, because if they don't, you really have no recourse, i mean, in that you can't get the data back. But, looks like you guys do an excellent job of it.

      Cristiana, that sounds like a great approach and I will be looking forward to the results. I am in the same boat as you.

      Increased intraepithelial lymphocytes after 10 yrs gluten-free

      I've been reflecting on this further. The lowest TTG I've ever managed was 4.5 (normal lab reading under 10). Since then it has gone up to 10. I am not happy with that. I can only explain this by the fact that I am eating out more these days and that's where I'm being 'glutened', but such small amounts that I only occasionally react. I...

      Low iron and vitamin d

      Hi, I posted before about my son's legs shaking after gluten. I did end up starting him on vit b and happily he actually started sleeping better and longer. Back to my 4 year old. She had gone back to meltdowns, early wakes, and exhaustion. We tested everything again and her ferritin was lowish again (16) and vit d was low. After a couple weeks...

      Cristiana, that sounds like a great approach and I will be looking forward to the results. I am in the same boat as you. I don't experience overt symptoms with minor, cross contamination level exposures so I sometimes will indulge in those "processed on equipment that also processes wheat . . ." or items that don't specifically claim to be gluten free but do not list gluten containing grains in their ingredient list. But I always wonder if I am still experiencing sub acute inflammatory reactions. I haven't had any celiac antibody blood work done since my diagnosis almost 25 years ago so I don't really have any data to go by.

The lowest TTG I've ever managed was 4.5 (normal lab reading under 10).  Since then it has gone up to 10.   I am not happy with that.  I can only explain this by the fact that I am eating out more these days and that's where I'm being 'glutened', but such small amounts that I only occasionally react. I know some of it is also to do with eating products labelled 'may contain gluten' by mistake - which in the UK means it probably does! It stands to reason that as I am a coeliac any trace of gluten will cause a response in the gut.  My villi are healed and look healthy, but those lymphocytes are present because of the occasional trace amounts of gluten sneaking into my diet.   I am going to try not to eat out now until my next blood test in the autumn and read labels properly to avoid the may contain gluten products, and will then report back to see if it has helped!

      Low iron and vitamin d

      By lizzie42 · Posted

      Hi, I posted before about my son's legs shaking after gluten. I did end up starting him on vit b and happily he actually started sleeping better and longer.  Back to my 4 year old. She had gone back to meltdowns, early wakes, and exhaustion. We tested everything again and her ferritin was lowish again (16) and vit d was low. After a couple weeks on supplements she is cheerful, sleeping better and looks better. The red rimmed eyes and dark circles are much better.   AND her Ttg was a 3!!!!!! So, we are crushing the gluten-free diet which is great. But WHY are her iron and vit d low if she's not getting any gluten????  She's on 30mg of iron per day and also a multivitamin and vit d supplement (per her dr). That helped her feel better quickly. But will she need supplements her whole life?? Or is there some other reason she's not absorbing iron? We eat very healthy with minimal processed food. Beef maybe 1x per week but plenty of other protein including eggs daily.  She also says her tummy hurts every single morning. That was before the iron (do not likely a side effect). Is that common with celiac?
