Hi. I love this forum, but it is super slow going from post to post. I have deleted my cookies, but that didn't help. Other forums I am on are not slow, so wondering if this is going to get better?? I hope so, because I want to read alot of the old posts to get alot of info, but not when it is so slow to go from post to post.

No problem here on a Mac with Verizon FIOS for internet.

It's working fine for me and my laptop is about five years old (practically ancient in the computer world :lol: ). You could try switching browsers if it keeps running slow. I'm using google chrome, but I like firefox too.

I always use Firefox and never have a problem.

Perfectly fine using my Mac, Firefox browser and Verizon FIOS connection.

I have Verizon's slowest "high speed" internet (not FIOS, but not dial up) and am running google chrome on a five year old PC. I also tried it in Firefox just now to test the speed. Pages load pretty much instantly. In fact, sometimes I am too fast answering replies and I get the error message that Admin has made it so I can't answer in 20 seconds. SO I know it is loading fast for me. :D

Using an iPad and AT&T or Sprint Overdrive, wotks well. Occasionally, it slows or stops but I think that is my wifi s fighting over the iPad. :) On the regular computer with AT&T, it's great.

Thanks, Scott.

I am using a netbook I got last Christmas, so assume it has up to date stuff. I have the highest speed internet through our Centurylink phone company, as I use the internet for our business, so I know it works fast enough. I use Google(don't know what chrome is) as my search engine. Anything else I can try?

I'm sorry if this post started out sounding "negative". That was not my intention. It honestly just keeps loading slow, and I am not a "tech" person, so didn't know if there was anything I should be doing on my end, as far a settings or something.

It takes about 30 seconds for my page to go to the next page.

Okay, I just came to my desktop computer, and my pages load normal, like in 5 seconds. Must be something about the netbook. But, in the netbook's defense, it isn't unusually slow when I browse other places. I guess their is too much info for my little netbook to reload on every page--maybe this will help someone else down the road that is using a netbook.

I have health issues that keep me for sitting up too long, so I tend to read through my forums in my recliner on my netbook.

You may be able to improve your load times by going to your settings and specifying a lower per-page count of topics and posts. The board default is 25 topics per page and 15 posts per page. Setting smaller numbers will break long lists up into smaller chunks, which will load faster and use less memory to display. The downside is that to read the whole thing, there will be more pages to load.

      If you replace the gluten products you normally ate with gluten-free versions, and I mean the breads, be careful, as many gluten-free products can be high in calories and low in nutrients (high carb).

      Decreasing tTiga?

      If was eating less gluten between tests, it could account for the change in test results to false negative, but given all you shared celiac disease is the most likely explanation.

      Decreasing tTiga?

      Thanks for the information. I get not using a biopsy to diagnosis. In fact, when we had the original biopsy done, my husband and I were very hesitant and didn't understand the need for it. The doctor kept telling us it was the only way to diagnosis Celiac, yet also said there's no other diagnosis that would have given her positive EMA-IgA and tTG-IgA results...

      Gluten free flours

      It’s tough when dietary needs collide like this—you’ve mastered gluten-free baking, only to hit another hurdle with your husband’s potato allergy! Since you prefer smoother textures (and oat flour is hit-or-miss), here are a few potato-free flour/blend options to try: Cup4Cup (Multipurpose or Wholesome blend) – Their standard version is cornstarc...

      If was eating less gluten between tests, it could account for the change in test results to false negative, but given all you shared celiac disease is the most likely explanation.   I also would try to avoid an endoscopy done on a child, especially given the positive blood test results along with symptoms when she eats gluten (tiredness is definitely one of many symptoms). If her symptoms go away on a gluten-free diet, this is another indicator that she likely has celiac disease.

      Thanks for the information.  I get not using a biopsy to diagnosis.  In fact, when we had the original biopsy done, my husband and I were very hesitant and didn't understand the need for it.  The doctor kept telling us it was the only way to diagnosis Celiac, yet also said there's no other diagnosis that would have given her positive EMA-IgA and tTG-IgA results.  So, we didn't understand.  Her biopsy came back negative, but because she wasn't even 3 at the time, the dr said she didn't want to go too far down into her system, and it was possible the damage was there and just not biopsied.  So, still no clear answer, which was frustrating. I'm confused now though with these results.  Why did her EMA-IgA results suddenly come back negative after the first 3 tests all showed positive?  And why is her tTG-IgA going down?  Could it be as simple as lab error?  Does the actual number matter, or the fact that it is so positive tell us everything we need to know?  I don't want to scope her again.  She has no symptoms that we can pin point to Celiac, but also aren't sure of what we don't know.  Is her tiredness a symptom that we just aren't paying enough attention to?  If we decide these results are enough, and start taking away all gluten products, how will we know if it is truly Celiac?  Another bloodtest in 6 months with lower tTG-IgA numbers could mean the diet is working, but couldn't they also decrease on their own like they did this time?

      It’s tough when dietary needs collide like this—you’ve mastered gluten-free baking, only to hit another hurdle with your husband’s potato allergy! Since you prefer smoother textures (and oat flour is hit-or-miss), here are a few potato-free flour/blend options to try: Cup4Cup (Multipurpose or Wholesome blend) – Their standard version is cornstarch-based, but avoid their ‘Plant-Based’ blend (has potato). Better Batter Original – Rice- and tapioca-based; great for cakes/cookies. Anthony’s Goods Cassava Flour – Neutral taste, works well in blends (try mixing with a bit of xanthan gum). Namaste Perfect Flour Blend – Tapioca/sorghum base, though some find it denser—might work for heartier bakes. If you’re up for DIY blends, arrowroot starch + sorghum or brown rice flour can mimic potato starch’s binding. Texture preferences are so personal, so it might take some experimenting—but I hope one of these clicks for you! Would love to hear what works if you give any a try. We also have some recipes for your own flour mixes here: https://www.celiac.com/celiac-disease/gluten-free-recipes/gluten-free-flour-mixes/ Happy baking!
