I am getting a lot of errors with private messaging today. Can anyone help me figure out why it is acting so strange?

Specifically, it errors when I have tried to return a message from older discussions with people here. And then I am getting an error saying that I cannot PM again for an hour. But I am not even getting a PM out. I think I understand that you cannot PM members until they are in the group "Advanced Members" - is that correct? I have never seen a time limit associated with the PMs that I send out in the past. I am just confused!!

Thanks!

Yes, due to issues with spammers there is a time limit associated with sending personal messages and emails via the board.

Take care,

Scott

Thanks, Scott!

Has it always been that way, and I just never noticed it? Or is it something new that was incorporated? And why can I not PM people that I have previously contacted here? And do I understand correctly about getting errors when trying to PM people that are new here, that they must be in the "Advanced Members" group?

Sorry I am still confused! Keila :)

I have had this occur also and as a long time member of the board i find it very troubling to not be able to return messages from other members when they ask a question of me. I am able to send one message but it is much more than an hour that I am prevented from replying I ususally have to wait for the next day. I understand the issue with spam but there has to be a way for long time members to get around this issue. It troubles me that people that are asking for important info on subjects might think that I am ignoring them. If there is any way to fix that? I and I am sure others would really appretiate it.

Thanks

Yes, I am troubled too, as I cannot even access the last PM that I received. It seems that I no longer have any PM privileges.

I commented to Dh, last night, ohmigod, we have just been spammed big time! I appreciate the problem. Is there no way we can filter out the one-timers versus the long-timers?

I'm still pretty new here, and trying to pick up on the rules. What is the time limit for new members and PM's? I received an email telling me I had a message, then couldn't access it. I feel bad that someone will think I am ignoring them, do they get an error message too so they know it is nothing intentional?

I owe someone here an apology, I'm not sure who, but I hope they see this. I have apparently been breaking the rules. I thought I was just losing my mind and kept putting my link back in my signature. I was negligent about reading the rules, and received several warnings. I am sorry for not reading the rules as carefully as I should have.

The message referred to in the above post was a warning from admin that I couldn't receive. My question is, can admin override the no PM rule? Had I been able to receive the PM I would have jumped on board and began following the rules immediately.

      Sugar intolerance 10 years into gluten-free diet

      Welcome to the celiac.com community, @science enthusiast Christi! I don't have a problem with disaccharides but I do with polysaccharides and complex carbohydrates which are so common in many gluten free processed foods. Gar gum, xanthan gum, pea fiber, chicory root, inulin etc. All those "prebiotics".

      Sugar intolerance 10 years into gluten-free diet

      Hey Celiac friends, I'm wondering how weird I am. About a year ago, I started getting bloated all the time and having extremely smelly gas. Lots of it. I had to avoid people, keep windows open, etc. It really upended my life in a somewhat horrifying way. I figured out that if I didn't eat any sugar, the symptoms mostly resolved. With more experimentation...

      Hey Celiac friends,  I'm wondering how weird I am. About a year ago, I started getting bloated all the time and having extremely smelly gas. Lots of it. I had to avoid people, keep windows open, etc. It really upended my life in a somewhat horrifying way. I figured out that if I didn't eat any sugar, the symptoms mostly resolved. With more experimentation, I found out that I'm intolerant to any disaccharides (things with sucrose, maltose) and some starches. I've since figured my small intestine stopped making some digestive enzymes. Since Celiac causes the immune system to attack the small intestine, I wonder if I was getting low-level gluten contamination from my environment. (My family eats gluten in our home, and I have to use a shared kitchen at work for lunch.)  I am apparently among the 2% of Celiacs who also have a similar reaction to soy. I've been avoiding both gluten and soy for over a decade now, but sometimes you just get poisoned. For example, I love my houseplants and bought an insect-preventing spray online. After spraying it on all my houseplants, I found out it has soybean oil. Sure enough, two days later I was sick. Soy is such a big ingredient used in everything, I doubt it's possible for me to avoid it completely. Everyone uses lotions with soy on their hands, so every doorknob and switch and item I touch is risky for me.  I was just wondering, has anyone else had carbohydrate intolerance after or related to Celiac? My doctor doesn't know anything about it, especially since I can still digest lactose. Wondering if there are other people out there with similar stories. If eating was complicated before, now it's a bit crazy to be honest.  Thanks, Community!

      Welcome to the celiac.com community, @Healthierbody2026! Just let me check something with you because there is still much confusion in the general population regarding the terminology associated with gluten disorders. You say you have recently been diagnosed with gluten sensitivity. Do you mean NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity) or Celiac disease (aka, "gluten intolerance")? The symptoms of these two conditions overlap. Celiac disease has an autoimmune base and so, there are tests that can be run to detect antibodies in the blood that are produced. Celiac disease does damage to the small bowel lining because of the inflammation present from the autoimmune attack. This is not the case with NCGS for which there are no tests. Celiac disease must first be ruled out in order to arrive at a diagnosis of "gluten sensitivity".
