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?

      Has anyone had terrible TMJ/ Jaw Pain from undiagnosed Celiac?

      Segments of the protein Casein are the same as segments of the protein strands of gluten, the 33-mer segment. The cow's body builds that Casein protein. It doesn't come from wheat. Casein can trigger the same reaction as being exposed to gluten in some people. This is not a dairy allergy (IGE mediated response). It is not lactose intolerance...

      Has anyone had terrible TMJ/ Jaw Pain from undiagnosed Celiac?

      Wheatwacked, what exactly did you intend when you stated that wheat is incorporated into the milk of cows fed wheat? Obviously, the gluten would be broken down by digestion and is too large a molecule anyway to cross the intestinal membrane and get into the bloodstream of the cow. What is it from the wheat that you are saying becomes incorporated into the...

      Wheat in cow feed would not equal gluten in the milk, @Wheatwacked, please back up extraordinary claims like this with some scientific backing, as I've never heard that cow's milk could contain gluten due to what the cow eats.

      My only proof

      Hello, @NanceK, I'm glad you're willing to give Benfotiamine with B Complex another go! I'm certain you'll feel much better. Yes, supplementation is a good idea even if you're healing and gluten free. The gluten free diet can be low in B vitamins and other nutrients. A nutritionist can help guide you to a nutrient dense diet, but food sensitivities...

      My only proof

      Oh wow! Thanks for this information! I’m going to try the Benfotiamine again and will also add a B-complex to my supplements. Presently, I just take sublingual B12 (methylcobalomin). Is supplementation for celiacs always necessary even though you remain gluten-free and you’re healing as shown on endoscopy? I also take D3, mag glycinate, and try to get cal...

      Segments of the protein Casein are the same as segments of the protein strands of gluten, the 33-mer segment.   The cow's body builds that Casein protein.  It doesn't come from wheat.   Casein can trigger the same reaction as being exposed to gluten in some people.   This is not a dairy allergy (IGE mediated response).  It is not lactose intolerance.

      Hello, @NanceK, I'm glad you're willing to give Benfotiamine with B Complex another go!  I'm certain you'll feel much better.   Yes, supplementation is a good idea even if you're healing and gluten free.  The gluten free diet can be low in B vitamins and other nutrients. A nutritionist can help guide you to a nutrient dense diet, but food sensitivities and food preferences can limit choices.  I can't consume fish and shellfish due to the sulfa hypersensitivity and iodine content, and dairy is out as well.  I react to casein, the protein in dairy, as well as the iodine in dairy.  My Dermatitis Herpetiformis is aggravated by iodine.   Blood tests for B vitamin levels are notoriously inaccurate.  You can have deficiency symptoms before blood levels change to show a deficiency.  I had subclinical vitamin deficiencies for years which affected my health, leading to a slow downward spiral.  Because the B vitamins are water soluble, they are easily excreted in urine if not needed.  It's better to have it and not need it than need it and not have it.   Wheat and other gluten containing grain products have vitamins and minerals added to them to replace those nutrients lost in processing.  Manufacturers add cheap vitamins that our bodies don't absorb or utilize well.  Even normal people can suffer from vitamin deficiencies.  The rise in obesity can be caused by High Calorie Malnutrition, where people eat more carbohydrate calories but don't get sufficient thiamine and B vitamins to turn the calories into energy.  The calories are stored as fat in an effort to ration out diminishing thiamine  stores.    It's time to buy your own vitamins in forms like Benfotiamine that our bodies can use well.   Not sleeping well and fatigue are symptoms of Thiamine deficiency.   I'm certain Benfotiamine with a B Complex will help you immensely.  Just don't take them at night since B vitamins provide lots of energy, you can become too energetic to sleep.  Better to take them earlier in your day.   Do keep me posted on your progress!

Is supplementation for celiacs always necessary even though you remain gluten-free and you’re healing as shown on endoscopy? I also take D3, mag glycinate, and try to get calcium through diet. I am trying to bump up my energy level because I don’t sleep very well and feel fatigued quite often. I’m now hopeful that adding the Benfotiamine and B-complex will help. I really appreciate your explanation and advice! Thanks again Knitty Kitty!
