A Few Questions...

Hello folks,

This is a wonderful and very friendly place to learn more about Celiac and hear others' experiences!

A few technical questions:

1. What does "set status" mean?, as in "has not set status"?

2. What does PIP mean?

3. Is Javascripting necessary to see everything and make everything work on the site? Or just Cookies?

4. Is there a way to enable Messaging between Members, and if so, how and where is it done?

Thanks for your help with any or all of these issues!

1. Your status is something you set in your profile. It is just a comment, and had no effect on your participation.

2. I don't know what PIP means. Where did you see this term?

3. You need to enable cookies in order to be able to log in. As far as I am aware, this board does not use Java scripts (I do have them enabled for other reasons).

4. Hmmmm. By default, the messenger should be enabled for established members like you. I tried to send you one and could not, so maybe you have blocked the function. Go to your settings, and make sure that "Disable my personal messenger" (under your time zone) is *NOT* checked.

Once it is enabled, you can send a message several ways.

If you are reading a post, there should be a button under the member's name or avatar that looks like an envelope. If you click that, a message window will open.

You can view a member's profile by clicking on their name anywhere it appears, or on their avatar. Among the options there is sending a message.

You can reach a specific moderator by clicking on "The Moderating Team" on the home page. At the right-hand side of the line with our name there is a button to send a message.

Aha! Now I see an envelope under your name! Thanks, Peter, for all your help. (The messaging had been disabled, but is now enabled.)

As for "PIP," I've seen it under some members' names in bold face. Once I saw it under my log-in name and another time I saw it under somebody's name as PIPPIPPIPPIP!? Have no idea what it means... Been scratching my head (not from DH), trying to figure out the meaning: PRETTY IMPORTANT POST? PARTICULARLY IMPETUOUS POSTER? etc. LOL! (Hopefully, it doesn't mean "PATHETICALLY IGNORANT PERSON"! Hah--Just kidding.)

Your browser is not displaying the rank images underneath the poster's "avatar", which are a series of little black dots or pips. You are seeing the alternative text, "Pip". This probably means your browser cannot display .png format.

What browser are you using? A browser old enough to not display .png format is likely to have some fairly serious security issues.

HI Skylark,

Thanks for the PIP tip! Must have had "images" turned off that day, because the little "pips" are quite visible now. Sometimes I turn off "images" in order to load things faster on various sites; probably forgot to turn them back on for this site. And yes, the .png-format images are showing up just fine. Thanks again.

Glad you got that sorted.

      Disaccharide deficient, confusing biopsy results, no blood test

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      If your tTg-IgA was 28 and positive is at 3, you are nearly 10x over the positive marker, so the most likely explanation by far would be celiac disease. I also do not understand why your doctor would not want to run the blood test, which is the normal first step in the diagnosis process.

      My journey is it gluten or fiber?

      Is there a digestive enzyme that helps build a healthier gut? I see people taking them but not sure what really works

      By trents · Posted

      So the tTG-IGA at 28 is positive for celiac disease. There are some other medical conditions that can cause elevated tTG-IGA but this is unlikely. There are some people for whom the dairy protein casein can cause this but by far the most likely cause is celiac disease. Especially when your small bowel lining is "scalloped". Your Serum IGA 01 (aka, "total IGA") at 245 mg/dl is within normal range, indicating you are not IGA deficient. But I also think it would be wise to take your doctor's advice about the sucraid diet and avoiding dairy . . . at least until you experience healing and your gut has had a chance to heal, which can take around two years. After that, you can experiment with adding dairy back in and monitor symptoms. By the way, if you want the protein afforded by dairy but need to avoid casein, you can do so with whey protein powder. Whey is the other major protein in dairy.

      hi, i want to say thank you to you and @trents   . after 2 phone calls to my GI, her office called me back to tell me that a blood test was “unnecessary” and that we should “follow the gold standard” and since my biopsy did not indicate celiac, to follow the no dairy and sucraid diet. i luckily have expendable income and made an appt for the labcorp blood test that day. i just got my results back and it indicates celiac disease i think 😭   im honestly happy bc now i KNOW and i can go gluten free. and i am SO MAD at this doctor for dismissing me for a simple blood test that wouldn’t have cost her anything !!!!!!!!!!! im sorry, im so emotional right now, i have been sick my whole life and never knew why, i feel so much better already   my results from labcorp:   Celiac Ab tTG TIgA w/Rflx Test Current Result and Flag Previous Result and Date Units Reference Interval t-Transglutaminase (tTG) IgA 01 28 High U/mL 0-3 Negative 0 - 3 Weak Positive 4 - 10 Positive >10 Tissue Transglutaminase (tTG) has been identified as the endomysial antigen. Studies have demonstrated that endomysial IgA antibodies have over 99% specificity for gluten sensitive enteropathy. Immunoglobulin A, Qn, Serum 01 245 mg/dL 87-352
