Will my posts be forever moderated before they are posted? Or at a certain level do they skip that?

At a certain point, new members' posts will no longer be moderated. All topics on this board, however, are subject to approval by a moderator. This helps greatly to quickly eliminate spammers.

I have never seen this before but it seems a good idea that all posts are checked out.

When do I reach that certain point? I have noticed that it is relatively quick that posts get approved by a moderater, but it is a bit frustrating when you have something that you want to be seen right when you post it.

I know it's frustrating at first, but you have to remember questions that are appropriate to a message board pretty much have to be things where you can wait for an answer. Someone with the info you need may not stop by for a day or two. If you're answering someone, they're not likely checking their threads immediately either.

Yeah I was just speaking hypothetically, I'm used to forum posting. But thanks for the reminder tip. I'm actually quite patient...for the most part.

PS I think that certain point is 10... I just posted a post and don't have to have it moderated... For those who are curious in the future.

I gotta say, I was just about to make a similar post.

Personally, I find the pre moderation rather frustrating. It takes away the dynamics of a forum.

I run a forum with 2 million members and am admin at another with 4 million posts. So I do understand the issues with spammers. BUT a good moderating team, can surely handle that? Rather than pre approving all posts, simply delete the spam. That way it doesn't take away from our Experience.

Sometimes members will want answers asap, but have to wait until their post is approved before they have a chance in receiving a response.

Even if there were a veteran group, that were allowed to post without moderation it would be something? Surely after say 50 genuine posts, we've proven we're not spammers? I'd like to think so. Obviously spammers won't reach 50 posts, as their posts will never be approved.

Anyway thanks for listening and for an otherwise great resource.

Paul~ You got some points. Although, I cant imagine it bein too much a hindrance for members, as it is only ten posts that have to be moderated. And look you are almost there. Besides I think its a good idea in a lot of ways because then you dont need to worry about makin a fool of yourself if you make a spammy post, or break a rule or two, and the admins can catch it right away. I am certain that the admins would help you should you ever find yerself with a post that never got approved.

Also like was mentioned before, if you need somethin answered, it makes no difference if you need to wait five minutes for a post to be approved, as this is a forum that caters to all over the world. It often will take at least a day before you get your first answer anyway. And I did notice that there is almost always a moderator on to approve posts, so I can almost guarantee you will never need to wait long for an approval.

Anyway, welcome to the forum!

The mods don't get to make the rules around here. I think we do a pretty good job of approving the posts quickly, and the moderation period for a new member is such a short time, comparatively speaking. I personally believe that it works around here. By the time I go to bed someone is waking up in Eastern Canada :P There are occasionally some slow times during the day when a post may languish for an hour, but not much longer. We do all have lives after all and our efforts are all volunteer. And all posts are addressed. If a post is deemed unacceptable for some reason the poster is given an opportunity to comply with the rules, and perhaps a warning. Blatant spammers are not given any leeway, nor do they deserve any.

Actually I was happy to see my first few posts moderated. To me it was a sign that the forum administrators cared enough about who was posting that they were willing to take the time to review all the new messages.

      How Come Gluten Didnt Bother Me In Italy

      By Gigi2025 · Posted

      Hi Christiana, Many thanks for your response.  Interestingly, I too cannot eat wheat in France without feeling effects (much less than in the US, but won't indulge nonetheless).  I also understand children are screened for celiac in Italy prior to starting their education. Wise idea as it seems my grandson has the beginning symptoms (several celiacs in his dad's family), but parents continue to think he's just being difficult.  Argh.  There's a test I took that diagnosed gluten sensitivity in 2014 via Entero Labs, and am planning on having done again.  Truth be told, I'm hoping it's the bromine/additives/preservatives as I miss breads and pastas terribly when home here in the states!  Be well and here's to our guts healing ❤️

      Lol that’s so true! Hope you get clarity, it’s tough when there’s doubt. There’s so much known about celiac disease with all the scientific research that’s been done so far yet practically and clinically there’s also so much unknown, still. Out of curiosity what’s her dairy consumption like? Even compared to early years to now? Has that changed? Calcium is dependent in the mechanism of antigen presenting cells in the gut. High calcium foods with gluten grains can initiate inflammation greater.  This is why breakfast cereals and milk combo long term can be a ticking time bomb for genetically susceptible celiacs (not a scientific statement by any means but my current personal opinion based on reasoning at present). Milk and wheat are the top culprits for food sensitivity. Especially in childhood. There are also patient cases of antibodies normalising in celiac children who had milk protein intolerance/ delayed type allergy. Some asymptomatic. There were a couple of cases of suspected celiacs that turned out to have milk protein intolerance that normalised antibodies on a gluten containing diet. Then there were others that only normalised antibodies once gluten and milk was eliminated. Milk kept the antibodies positive. Celiac disease is complicated to say the least.

      And thank you for your encouragement. I am glad that her body is doing a good job fighting it. I also just want clarity for her moving forwards. She was only 6 for the last round of testing and she's 10 now, so I'm also hoping that makes a difference. It was weird during her last round of testing though, because right before her biopsy, we'd upped her gluten intake by giving her biscuits made from straight up vital wheat gluten, and her labs actually normalized slightly (lower ttg and her ema went negative). Bodies just do weird things sometimes! lol

      The first negative biopsy in 2021 just said "no pathological change" for all the samples, and the second one in 2022 said "Duodenal mucosa with mild reactive change (focal foveolar metaplasia) and preserved villous architecture." So I think Marsh score 0 in both cases, though it's not actually written in the pathology reports. I'm really hoping to get a clear positive result this time, just for her sake.

      Blood results

      Hopefully the biopsy gives a conclusive and correct diagnosis for your daughter. Im in the UK and have been in the situation a few years ago of trying to rule celiac in or out after inconclusive results. Many symptoms pointing to it including the classic symptoms and weight loss and folate and iron deficiency. You have to play a waiting game. I also had the label of IBS and likely food allergy. Genetic test showed low risk for celiac but not no risk. It sounds like the Gastroenterologist is on it and hopefully will diagnose what it is correctly. Food hypersensitivity (allergy) can also cause similar symptoms and inflammation as well as mimicking IBS. Milk / dairy and wheat (cereal grains) being the biggest culprits. The “oesophagitis” and “gastritis” you mentioned can be caused by another gastrointestinal disorder called “eosinophilic gastrointestinal disorders”. These are named depending on which part of the gastrointestinal tract is affected. For example eosinophilic oesophagitis, eosinophilic gastritis, eosinophilic gastroenteritis, and more rare eosinophilic colitis. They are antigen (allergen) driven. When the blood test measuring anti-ttg antibodies is positive in absence of a positive ema test - which is more specific to celiac, this can also suggest food hypersensitivity (allergy). Usually delayed type allergy similar to celiac but not autoimmune if that makes sense. In this case the ttg antibodies are transient. Which happens. I’ve first hand experience. For info, evidence of villous atrophy too can be caused by food hypersensitivity. Not just by celiac disease. In Egid disorders the six food elimination diet, under a dietitian and gastroenterologist care, is the dietary protocol to figure out the culprit or culprits. Sometimes only two food elimination diet is used at first. The number one culprit is milk protein / dairy. Followed by wheat, eggs, soy, fish and seafood, and nuts. Most are only reactive to one food group or two. Most are only reactive to milk. Hope this is a helpful reply.
