I'm new to this forum and have benefited from it more than I can say. I was very fortunate and found someone who not only lives close by but shares my interests. I just moved here from another state and I would like to get together. I'm not big on my personal information being out there on the Internet but I would like to be able to email her from home in case she's not online. Is this allowed? If so, how do I go about it. Would emailing her on her page be private enough?

Thanks for everything you are doing here. Finding this forum couldn't have come at a better time. I'm in the midst of a flare and I've already learned so much and gotten so much support from the other members.

P.S. Why do some threads list me a a new community member and others as an advanced one?

Loey:

You can click on that person's name and it will take you to their profile. There you will see options to send a personal message that is private between the two of you.

Members status is based on the number of posts that are made.

Personally I've given my email addy to a couple of forum members. You can get a feel from the posts they've made. Life is full of taking chances...heck, as celiacs every time we put something in our mouths, we take chances. If I found someone who lived closed to me with shared interests, I'd go for it...that does not mean that I indiscriminately give out personal info.

Another thing you can do is set up an email for solely people from this site, (or any other site you join) and that can be listed for people to send you things. This is what I do for this and another forum I am a part of.

But personally, I like Private Messaging people, quick and easy, and I can do it while I am signed on and I don't have to look at two different screens while doin so.

Thank you for the helpful advice. I wasn't sure how you went about setting it up. I've made contact and am looking forward to meeting someone who lives here. She's offered to take me to the Support Group when it resumes it's meetings.

I agree with you that we take a chance every time we put something into our mouths. As a newcomer to this disease I'm still trying to find my triggers and I think I'm going to just stick to rice, protein and fresh vegetables and see how that goes. I'm in the middle of a terrible flare and am in pain constantly. I'm waiting to hear if my insurance company approved my capsule endoscopy for Monday. Before I moved my GI made all of my testing a priority because I was bedridden for 6 weeks and needed to have results to bring with me. Initially I was feeling better but feel like I'm back at square one. My new GI says that I must be eating something that has gluten in it but I've been extremely careful. I'm planning on eliminating dairy for now as well. I just want to feel better.

You've answered my posts before and I really appreciate the support I've gotten from you and everyone else here. Hopefully I'll be able to help others.

Dairy yes...it can mimic the gluten effect. And try to keep a food diary. It can help you pinpoint an issue.

You're welcome, Loey! That's what makes this forum so great! Very helpful people here, some of whom have been gluten free for years and they know a whole lot more than I do. I don't know of any local support groups around here...I'm sure you'll meet a lot of nice people and learn a lot.

I think Lisa has a great idea...keep a food diary. I never did and sometimes it's really hard to pinpoint what's bothering us. If you were bedridden for six weeks at diagnosis, no doubt in my mind that you were terribly ill and dairy should be given up and eat really clean by eliminating processed foods. Also, in my mind you might want to pretty well give up eating out for awhile as the risk of cross contamination is so great. You might also have other intolerances that you don't even know about yet.

We have to remember that we didn't get this way over night and it's just going to take time to heal. Easier said than done as we all want instant results. I hope your insurance company approves the capsule endoscopy for you!

      Unusual bright yellow but odourless discharge

      Yes, I, too, have osteoporosis from years of malabsorption, too.  Thiamine and magnesium are what keep the calcium in place in the bones.  If one is low in magnesium, boron, selenium, zinc, copper, and other trace minerals, ones bone heath can suffer.  We need more than just calcium and Vitamin D for strong bones.  Riboflavin B 2, Folate B 9 and Pyridoxine B 6 also contribute to bone formation and strength.   Have you had your thyroid checked?  The thyroid is important to bone health as well.  The thyroid uses lots of thiamine, so a poorly functioning thyroid will affect bone heath.

      That sounds so very likely in my case! I will absolutely ask my doctor on my next bone check coming up in March... Thanks a lot!

      Calcium levels as measured in the blood can be quite deceiving as the body will rob calcium from the bones to meet demands for it by other bodily functions. Also, supplementing with calcium can be counterproductive as it tends to raise gut pH and decrease absorption. More often than not, the problem is poor absorption to begin with rather than deficiency of intake amounts in the diet. Calcium needs an acidic environment to be absorbed. This is why so many people on PPIs develop osteoporosis. The PPIs raise gut pH. And some people have high gut PH for other reasons. Low pH equates to a more acidic environment whereas high pH equates to a more basic (less acidic) environment.

      Kind thanks for all this valuable information! Since my Folate was/is low and also my Calcium, there IS a chance I am low in B vitamins... My doctor only measured the first two, oh and Zinc as I has twisted her arm and guess what, that was mega low too. So who knows, until I get myself tested properly, what else I am deficient in... I did a hair mineral test recently and it said to avoid All sources of Calcium. But this is confusing for me as my Ca is so low and I have osteoporosis because of this. It is my Adjusted Ca that is on the higher side and shouldn't be. So am not sure why the mineral test showed high Ca (well, it was medium in the test but relative to my lowish Magnesium, also via hair sample, it was high I was told). But anyway, thanks again for the VitB download, I will look into this most certainly!

      Allergy medication: cetirizine by the HealthA2Z is it gluten free?

      By ElisaAllergiesgluten · Posted

      Hello good afternoon, I was wondering if anyone has ever brought their anti-allergy pills? I have been wanting to use their Cetirizine HCI 10mg. They are called HealthA2Z and distributed by Allegiant Health.I’m also Asthmatic and these allergies are terrible for me but I also want to be sure they don’t have any sort of gluten compound.    I have tried calling them but to no avail. Has anyone ever used them? If so, did you had any problems or no problems at all?    thank you
