Newbie Vs. Advanced

I just joined and it says "Newbie" on my postings.

How long do I have to have to be categorized as this? It kind of turns me off, and makes me reluctant to post since it makes one sound like a dummy, and an "advanced" member somebody worth listening to.

Thank you.

P.S. I know that everybody probably starts out as a "newbie".

This is pretty standard for message boards all over the Internet. For ours once you make 10 posts it will switch from "Newbie" to "Member," and after 30 posts it will switch to "Advanced Member."

Take care,

Scott :)

Don't worry about the advanced/newbie/member thing...it isn't really the # of posts that builds a reputation, but the quality. And the numbers are very low for it to change--on some boards it might be...50 to no longer be a newbie, then regular member till...500 or something, then advanced member, then something crazy like SUPER MEMBER at 1000 and then...you live on this board at 5000....lol. Post a few times and you'll be a member ;)

Also, newbie doesn't refer to your knowledge of celiac, but your status on this message board. Even if you've been on the gluten-free diet for 20 years, you're a newbie when you first come onto the board.

I find it useful to guage how well a person knows the board - and that's mostly the only thing I use it for. (Of course, a long-time lurker may pop up as a newbie if he/she starts posting, but have been around the board for months, so it's not always even useful for that!) You'll shake that automatically generated label in no time. ;-) :-D

I am a real newbie, regardless of the label under my name. I could post to a bunch of threads and that would not really increase my knowledge of Celiac and how to live with it. All the READING I have been doing for several months has helped a bit though.

I am not going to put a lot of importance on the number of posts alone, I will see if what a person is saying makes sense and base my response on that. Some of the many recipes look wonderful and others sound like food I would not like. That is my personal taste though and we are all different. I hope someday to be able to add a few of my own created recipes that others will enjoy making and eating. :)

I would be very surprised if such a restriction were imposed. To go step by step again and try to help you find it:

- Click on "My Controls" (to the left of view new posts).

- Click on "Edit Profile Information" (in the list on the left).

- Scroll down below the required information.

- Under the heading "personal profile" the FIRST box should say "Custom member title" (it is the first one under the heading and is directly above the date of birth box. Fill that in with whatever title you want and then be sure to save those changes or amend profile, or whatever it says as the save thing.

Okay I looked exactly where you said - and I have no such box. The birth date is the first profile info on my profile page - i do not have a customer member title box. i guess i will have to contact the board.

Yes... just wanted to make sure you didn't have it. Maybe only regular/advanced members?

      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...

      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.
