Sorry to bother you twice, but my address is on my personal profile page. I had to give it to register but it shouldn't be on my profile. I can't get it off.

Thank you. I'm obviously a computer whiz. I've been wrestling with celiac.com for two months now...I missed having access!

I am not sure this is correct. By accident, I discovered a link from my profile in Google (celiac and headaches) and when I clicked on it it took me right to my full name, address and location! This is shocking. I now deleted my personal name/address info.

Try to google other names. I do not believe that you can see other's personal information. I just googled your name Snubu, I could see no personal information.

Like Peter said, your personal information is visible only to you. Not to worry.

You were able to see it only because the server recognized that you were looking at your own profile. It determines that by examining the content of two cookies, forums_member_id and forums_pass_hash, which are set by this board. If these cookies do not exist, or do not match the profile being displayed, then the personal information is not shown.

If you log out from here, and do the same thing again, you will not see personal information. Logging out deletes the two cookies I mentioned above.

Because I deleted my personal info. immediately. It was there. Possible that it was a cookie issue and I was logged in, as Peter mentioned. At any rate, I was able to delete all my data. Thanks for input.

Hello...I'm a newbie to this site as I was diagnosed celiac within the month. What caught my eye was someone's signature/tagline. While I was recently dx'd...my husband's side has both sjogren's and a grand or two with alzheimer's (sp?)

62 years? I'm 43 and recently diagnosed--good news for me after many years of unexplained illnesses. Do you have children? Are they Celiac?

My 26 (diagnosed Lupus at 13), 15 and 13 year old children, along with an 18 month old grand are undergoing testing...not so good thinking of my kids having to deal with it...although knowing at a younger age is certainly a huge advantage.

[Hi GottaSki,

I am a newbie too! No, I do not have children (by choice). It is definitely an advantage to be diagnosed early. Looking back at my childhood, I now clearly see the symptoms of celiac: Many headaches, always thin, after age 20 migraines from the pill and occcasionally from drinking alcohol, very severe menstrual pain every month, same weight since age 20 (have never been on a diet!). During the last 10 years other symptoms developed and finally my alternative medicine/chiropractor diagnosed celiac. I have not found a medical doctor yet that understands celiac. However, knowing now what celiac is all about, I will have patience and hope that some of the damage (neurological, intestinal, etc.) will eventually disappear and hopefully I can stay away from doctors.

Yes, my Mom has Sjoegren's, but her blood test showed negative for celiac. Either the test was wrong, or she really does not have celiac. She is 86 and she said at her age she does not want to pursue a gluten-free diet and does not really care about the celiac part. I definitely suspect my father was celiac (died of Alzheimer's) and there are many relatives on his side that have Alzheimer's, Osteoporosis and Psoriasis.

I was appalled to find all my personal information displayed on my public profile. I thought when I signed up that this would only go to the board administrator. I cannot seem to edit it/ remove it. Please let me know how I can alter this.

You are the only one that can see it. If you go to someone else's profile and look at what's displayed, that's all that the rest of us can see on yours.

Thank you--Right after I sent you the message, my son pointed out exactly that information to me (that only I could see the private info while logged in). I apologize for the misunderstanding.

      how much gluten do I need to eat before blood tests?

      By catnapt · Posted

      oh that's interesting... it's hard to say for sure but it has *seemed* like oats might be causing me some vague issues in the past few months. It's odd that I never really connect specific symptoms to foods, it's more of an all over feeling of unwellness after  eating them.  If it happens a few times after eating the same foods- I cut back or avoid them. for this reason I avoid dairy and eggs.  So far this has worked well for me.  oh, I have some of Bob's Red Mill Mighty Tasty Hot cereal and I love it! it's hard to find but I will be looking for more.  for the next few weeks I'm going to be concentrating on whole fresh fruits and veggies and beans and nuts and seeds. I'll have to find out if grains are truly necessary in our diet. I buy brown rice pasta but only eat that maybe once a month at most. Never liked quinoa. And all the other exotic sounding grains seem to be time consuming to prepare. Something to look at later. I love beans and to me they provide the heft and calories that make me feel full for a lot longer than a big bowl of broccoli or other veggies. I can't even tolerate the plant milks right now.  I have reached out to the endo for guidance regarding calcium intake - she wants me to consume 1000mgs from food daily and I'm not able to get to more than 600mgs right now.  not supposed to use a supplement until after my next round of testing for hyperparathyroidism.   thanks again- you seem to know quite a bit about celiac.

      IBS-D vs Celiac

      By trents · Posted

      Welcome to the celiac.com community, @SilkieFairy! You could also have NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity) as opposed to celiac disease. They share many of the same symptoms, especially the GI ones. There is no test for NCGS. Celiac disease must first be ruled out.

      how much gluten do I need to eat before blood tests?

      By trents · Posted

      Under the circumstances, your decision to have the testing done on day 14 sounds very reasonable. But I think by now you know for certain that you either have celiac disease or NCGS and either way you absolutely need to eliminate gluten from your diet. I don't think you have to have an official diagnosis of celiac disease to leverage gluten free service in hospitals or institutional care and I'm guessing your physician would be willing to grant you a diagnosis of gluten sensitivity (NCGS) even if your celiac testing comes up negative. Also, you need to be aware that oats (even gluten free oats) is a common cross reactor in the celiac community. Oat protein (avenin) is similar to gluten. You might want to look at some other gluten free hot  breakfast cereal alternatives.

      IBS-D vs Celiac

      By SilkieFairy · Posted

      After the birth of my daughter nearly 6 years ago, my stools changed. They became thin if they happened to be solid (which was rare) but most of the time it was Bristol #6 (very loose and 6-8x a day). I was on various medications and put it down to that. A few years later I went on this strict "fruit and meat" diet where I just ate meat, fruit, and squash vegetables. I noticed my stools were suddenly formed, if a bit narrow. I knew then that the diarrhea was probably food related not medication related. I tried following the fodmap diet but honestly it was just too complicated, I just lived with pooping 8x a day and wondering how I'd ever get and keep a job once my children were in school.  This past December I got my yearly bloodwork and my triglycerides were high. I looked into Dr. William Davis (wheat belly author) and he recommended going off wheat and other grains. This is the first time in my life I was reading labels to make sure there was no wheat. Within 2 weeks, not only were my stools formed and firm but I was only pooping twice a day, beautiful formed Bristol #4.  Dr. Davis allows some legumes, so I went ahead and added red lentils and beans. Nervous that the diarrhea would come back if I had IBS-D. Not only did it not come back, it just made my stools even bigger and beautiful. Still formed just with a lot more width and bulk. I've also been eating a lot of plant food like tofu, mushrooms, bell peppers, hummus etc which I thought was the cause of my diarrhea before and still, my stools are formed. In January I ran a genetics test because I knew you had to have the genes for celiac. The report came back with  DQ 2.2 plus other markers that I guess are necessary in order for it to be possible to have celiac. Apparently DQ 2.2 is the "rarer" kind but based on my report it's genetically possible for me to have celiac.  I know the next step is to bring gluten back so I can get testing but I am just not wanting to do that. After suffering with diarrhea for years I can't bring myself to do it right now. So that is where I am!
