Dear Celiac.com Message Board Member:

Just a quick note to thank you for helping to make our message board an overwhelming success, which is demonstrated by the board's statistics (see below).

A recent analysis has determined that 20% of our board users are making around 90% of the posts, and a significant number of you have never made a post. If you fall into this category I encourage you to participate in what has become the most active online celiac disease community on the Web--the Celiac.com Message Board/Forum.

Thank you for your time,

-Scott Adams

I agree, celiac3270, it is a good idea.......

I hope you are right about more posts from the lurkers. I think the more input, the better for all of us...... ;)

It seems like a lot of people register and just don't come, though...not necessarily lurk. After all, when you look at the members who are on, they don't show many. Well, unless the people don't bother to log in and just view as guests. There are always many guests.

I think some members at least come on here but don't log in. I used to do that before I started posting. Now I keep it on a mode that remembers my login on this computer so it never logs out.

Yes...I've always kept mine so that I don't log in each time (w/ the remember me option)......so much easier than logging in and out all the time. And yes....so many guests on all the time...just a random sample might give you....22 guests, 6 members or something.... my point is, always more guests than members.

I "lurked" for about 6 months before finally joining so I could participate in Molly's science fair survey. I think this will be my fifth post since joining in December. I read the board frequently, usually every day, but rarely post . I have been gluten-free for almost five years (and probably celiac for at least ten more), but I seldom see a topic I can add something new to. I just don't do "ME TOO" posts, they don't seem to add any value.

I would agree wthat too many "me too" posts is a bad thing, but with something like celiac where people are often pulled by conflicting statements, a handful of them on certain topics can help make readers (particularly newbies) more confident about something.

When I first joined, I was comforted by the "me too" posts, actually.....

It felt really reassuring to be in an environment where other people posted that they were going through the same things I was. I didn't feel so isolated........ :D

It made me realize that I wasn't losing my mind afterall...... ;)

Yea I think that it is good when you have numerous people saying the same thing or agreeing. I know when I was new I was told don't listen to everything you here unless you here it over and over...I found it comforting and it made me more confident about what I could and could not have.

Also, when you have the medical establishment drilling it over and over again into your head that it is just "all in your head", the fact that you can read other people's posts and feel that they are posting exactly what you are experiencing just reinforces your confidence that you are in fact not crazy. :D

Yea...they're probably sometimes good, as long as they don't get too abundant. I think similar posts are most valuable when it comes to reassuring someone or sympthizing with or helping a newbie w/ general gluten-free resources. After all, we all do it differently. I do think, though, that if two or three people say a product is gluten-free, a fourth and fifth person agreeing isn't necessary....anh...whatever. ;)

      Cold/flu or gluten poisoning?

      Cold/flu or gluten poisoning? Hello. I've had another similar episode. I find it very difficult to differentiate between the symptoms of a cold or flu and those caused by gluten poisoning. In fact, I don't know if my current worsening is due to having eaten something that disagreed with me or if the cold I have has caused my body, which is hypersensitive...

      I'm no longer dealing with constipation. I got my liver test last month and it was in normal range. Two years ago I did have a vitamin D deficiency but I'm know taking vitamin D3 pills. Last month I got my vitamin D checked and it was in normal range. I don't believe I've had my choline checked. However, I do drink almond milk eat Greek yogurt on a daily...

      Non-Celiac Gluten Sensitivity (NCGS) can be associated with low ferritin and iron deficiency. Once Celiac Disease (1% of the population affected) has been ruled out by tests the next step is to check for Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity (10% of the population affected) by eliminating gluten for a trial period, then re-introduce Gluten Challange.

      Celiac disease symptoms

      If you have hemorrhoids 1x weekly I don't see how you have time to heal from one episode before you experience another one, unless each one is a very minor event. Have you consulted a physician about your hemorrhoid issue? It's not normal to be having an episode every week unless it is really one episode that is not completely healing between weekly...

In fact, I don't know if my current worsening is due to having eaten something that disagreed with me or if the cold I have has caused my body, which is hypersensitive, to produce symptoms similar to those of gluten poisoning.

      Non-Celiac Gluten Sensitivity (NCGS) can be associated with low ferritin and iron deficiency. Once Celiac Disease (1% of the population affected) has been ruled out by tests the next step is to check for Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity (10% of the population affected) by eliminating gluten for a trial period, then re-introduce Gluten Challange. Have you been supplementing Iron? How are your liver enzymes? Low levels of ferritin indicate iron deficiency, while  59% transferrin saturation indicates high iron levels.  Possibly indicating Fatty Liver Disease.  Choline is crucial for liver health, and deficiency is a known trigger for Non-Alcoholic Fatty Liver.  Some experts say that less than 10% eat the the Food and Nutrition Board established Adequate Intake that are based on the prevention of liver damage. Severe constipation and hemorrhoids may be linked to a bile or choline deficiency.  "Ninety-five percent of phospholipids (PLs) in bile is secreted as phosphatidylcholine or lecithin."  Fatty acid composition of phospholipids in bile in man   Deficiency of these bile salts causes the bile to get thick. Some people with Celiac Disease are misdiagnosed with Gall Bladder bile issues.  Removal of the gallbladder provides only temporary relief. Whether or not celiac disease or NCGS are your issues you need to look at your vitamin D blood level.
