Personal Picture Change

I tried (a few months ago and now again) to change the personal picture that appears by my name on the screen (I do not have one uploaded). I went to My Controls, Edit Personal Photo (or something like that), Browse, found the picture I liked but it always says that the picture is too big, something about bytes and pixels (advanced chinese to me), and I do not know how to fix that. Any ideas?

Hi Mariela,

You need to go to My Controls and to "Edit Avatar Settings"--that will allow you to upload your picture. You may have to crop it to make it fit.

I have found success in opening my pictures in paint, and then making the picture smaller from there. I haven't had much success in cropping them. I'm sure there's an easier way, but I have a tendency to do things that hard way... ;)

It works though.

Paint can be used to resize, and also to crop. You can only crop on the bottom and right, but you can rotate the image 180 degrees, crop the "right" and "bottom" and then rotate another 180 degrees to accomplish cropping on all four sides. It is a bit cumbersome, but it works, and Paint comes free with Windows.

You only need to shrink enough to get under the byte limit; the upload will then automatically resize the larger dimension to 150 pixels while keeping the aspect ratio (relative height to width).

If you open with Microsoft Picture Manager, click on edit pictures, then compress, and then pick your size. You can crop, also.

Does it take a while to change? I tried to change mine earlier today, it has the correct photo in "my controls" but in my posts, it's the old photo. I changed the photo to make sure it fit the parameters. It's always worked for me in the past...

I uploaded my first photo, it said it was ok but it's still not showing. Are there certain qualifications i have to have (so many posts, time as a member)?

No minimum post number. It might be that the picture you tried to load was too big. It's supposed to say something like "upload successful, transferring you or click here if you don't want to wait". Did it give you a message, or just send you back to your control page?

I received some kind of message that lead me to believe it worked. I know when i tried a different pic it didn't do anything so i thought it must be too big. i then cropped it down and it seemed to work. when i look at it in my controls the picture is there.

a "personal photo" only shows on your profile. If you want the picture to show above your name when you post it has to also be loaded as an avatar. Could that be the problem?

      Does Dailymed.nlm.nih.gov site have filters for gluten?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Clearly from what you've said the info on Dailymed is much more up to date than the other site, which hasn't been updated since 2017. The fact that some companies might be repackaging drugs does not mean the info on the ingredients is not correct.

      Waiting Gastroenterology review

      To evaluate the TTG antibody result we’d need to know the normal range for that lab.  Labs don’t all use the same units.  However, based on any normal ranges that I’ve seen and the listed result being greater than a number rather than a specific number, I’d say yes, that is high! Higher than the range where the test can give a quantitative result. You got good advice not to change your diet yet.  If you went gluten free your intestines would start to heal, confusing any further testing,

      Does Dailymed.nlm.nih.gov site have filters for gluten?

      By Bev in Milw · Posted

      Scott is correct….Thank you for catching that!      Direct link for info  of fillers.    http://www.glutenfreedrugs.com/Excipients.htm Link is on 2nd page  of www.glutenfreedrugs.com   Site was started by a pharmacist (or 2) maybe 15-20 yrs ago with LAST updated in  2017.  This makes it’s Drug List so old that it’s no longer relevant. Companies & contacts, along with suppliers &  sources would need to be referenced, same amount effort  as starting with current data on DailyMed      That being said, Excipient List is still be relevant since major changes to product labeling occurred prior ’17.           List is the dictionary that sources the ‘foreign-to-us’ terms used on pharmaceutical labels, terms we need to rule out gluten.    Note on DailyMed INFO— When you look for a specific drug on DailyMed, notice that nearly all of companies (brands/labels) are flagged as a ‘Repackager’… This would seem to suggest the actual ‘pills’ are being mass produced by a limited number of wholesaler suppliers (esp for older meds out of  patent protection.).      If so, multiple repackager-get  bulk shipments  from same supplier will all  be selling identical meds —same formula/fillers. Others repackager-could be switching suppliers  frequently based on cost, or runs both gluten-free & non- items on same lines.  No way to know  without contacting company.     While some I know have  searched pharmacies chasing a specific brand, long-term  solution is to find (or teach) pharmacy staff who’s willing help.    When I got 1st Rx ~8 years ago, I went to Walgreens & said I needed gluten-free.  Walked  out when pharmacist said  ‘How am I supposed  to know…’  (ar least he as honest… ). Walmart pharmacists down the block were ‘No problem!’—Once, they wouldn’t release my Rx, still waiting on gluten-free status from a new supplier. Re: Timeliness of DailyMed info?   A serendipitous conversation with cousin in Mi was unexpectedly reassuring.  She works in office of Perrigo, major products of OTC meds (was 1st to add gluten-free labels).  I TOTALLY lucked out when I asked about her job: “TODAY I trained a new full-time employee to make entries to Daily Med.’  Task had grown to hours a day, time she needed for tasks that couldn’t be delegated….We can only hope majorities of companies are as  conscientious!   For the Newbies…. SOLE  purpose of  fillers (possible gluten) in meds is to  hold the active ingredients together in a doseable form.  Drugs  given by injection or as IV are always gluten-free!  (Sometimes drs can do antibiotics w/ one-time injection rather than 7-10 days of  pills .) Liquid meds (typically for kids)—still read labels, but  could be an a simpler option for some products…

      Food Allergies

      By Ginger38 · Posted

      So I recently had allergy testing for IGE antibodies in response to foods. My test results came back positive to corn, white potatoes, egg whites. Tomatoes, almonds and peanuts to name a few.  I have had obvious reactions to a few of these - particularly tomatoes and corn- both GI issues. I don’t really understand all this allergy versus celiac stuff. If the food allergies are mild do I have to avoid these foods entirely? I don’t know what I will eat if I can’t  have corn based gluten free products

      7yo struggling!

      By JForman · Posted

      We have four children (7-14 yo), and our 7 year old was diagnosed with NCGS (though all Celiac labs were positive, her scope at 4 years old was negative so docs in the US won't call it celiac). We have started her on a Gluten Free diet after 3 years of major digestive issues and ruling out just about everything under the sun. Our home and kitchen and myself are all gluten-free. But I have not asked my husband/her dad or her other siblings to go completely gluten-free with us. They are at home, but not out of the home. This has led to situations when we are eating out where she has to consistently see others eating things she can't have and she has begun to say "Well, I can't have <fill in the blank>...stupid gluten."  How have you supported your gluten-free kiddos in the mental health space of this journey, especially young ones like her. I know it's hard for me as an adult sometimes to miss out, so I can't imagine being 7 and dealing with it! Any tips or ideas to help with this?
