hello...a "newbie" here and I cannot find the answer anywhere to these questions...can someone help?

When I view my own profile page, I can see the personal information I registered with (name, address, phone) and I am wondering...how do I get it off there? Or is it only visible to me?

I uploaded an avatar, and I see it has uploaded and I hit save....but I do not see it in my profile picture square.

Thanks so much!

I have been reading this forum site for many months, researching celiac issues and I have learned so much!

Welcome IrishHeart!!

Only you can see your personal information.

Your avatar and your profile picture are two different pictures . . . well, they can be the same pic, but you have to upload it again. Let me see if I can find how you do it. Be right back.

OK, go to you profile. On the far right there is a blue button that says "Edit My Profile". From there, on your left is a menu with one of the options being Change Photo. This is the profile picture. There is also a Change Avatar option. Good Luck. Let us know if you need any more help.

I, too, am no techie and I have to admit I don't know what the word "avatar" means, let alone what I'm supposed to do with it, or for it, or to it! Enlightenment needed!

An avatar can be either a personal picture you would like to post (yourself, your dog, your car, whatever floats your boat!), or it can be a representation of who you are - a cute cartoon, an animated figure (or non-). As for how to do it, I will leave that to the techies (I had to have someone do mine for me :lol: )

Hi Luddie! an avatar is a picture, animated or otherwise that goes in the little box where your silhouette is. Hubbie helped me load the pic of our cat. If it weren't for him, I would have no computer savvy at all. He buys all the stuff, loads all the programs, teaches me how to use it ....and I retain just enough to turn the laptop on, type, and push enter...LOL LOL I told him long ago, I don't want to know HOW it works, I just want it TO work. :D Ginny

      Alcohol

      By Suze046 · Posted

      Hey! I’m recently gluten free and yes I really struggle with alcohol now. I haven’t really drank in 2 months as it just made me feel awful the next day in terms of stomach ache mainly. I’ve had a couple of glasses of white wine here and there (mainly low sulphate) but every time it gives me a gut ache. I think it’s because but guy is so damaged from my journey to discovering my gluten intolerance and hopefully this will improve but honestly I’m just not bothered about having a drink now. I can’t even touch Prosecco or champagne I think the bubbles really upset me!

      Work friends & food

      I just wanted to share my support for you. Rant away. We all know that, and have experiences like that at some point. I am sorry for that very unpleasant, and emotionally isolating reminder of your medical condition. Which always is exacerbated by the hunger. I will admit many of my family friends, and coworkers found it easier to exclude me than to accommodate me. I also have to be very strict with cross contamination so in hindsight they did me a favor.  The sting however can often still be unearthed when I read experiences like yours.  I am sorry you had that occur. I hope you, and the coworkers can find the easy more accommodating experiences again after this unfortunate incident. Best wishes.

      Diagnosed gluten allergy but not Celiac

      By Awol cast iron stomach · Posted

      "...hemorrhoids, constipation and diarrhea" . Heard of indeed. Experienced too. In hindsight, I can remember from age 2 having, and trying to convey my issues. I went 38 years misdiagnosed. So yes one can have these issues. I did have to go back on gluten for a gluten challenge. I failed that challenge and 6 days in they give me permission to stop, and I proceed with my scopes as scheduled. Post those 6 days I had gained 13 intolerances. I had to remove many foods, and reintroduce them back in. Nine years later I have two that remain gluten, and corn. I found it helpful to follow a whole foods diet. I also found autoimmune (AIP) protocol diet/recipes, and Paleo diet/recipes helpful. I still enjoy many of those homemade version recipes. I still continue to make my own salad dressings even if I can find a gluten-free store bought version. Fresh taste best to this palate now.  I did give up many grains I was off many and reverted to coconut flour and almond flour as work arounds .  I still remember the first time my gut experienced the reintroduction of quinoa. It wasn't sure if it wanted to flare or not. In 30 minutes it reported back ok this will pass. Many foods were removed post gluten challenge for me for 2 years and 4 months. At the 2 year 4 month mark is when my body said ok let's eat again, but don't ever feed me gluten again! I wish you the best.

      if you have already learned that Gluten is the cause of your symptoms, of course there is no need to add it back into your diet— your decision could save you a lot of needless suffering. One thing to consider is that if you do have celiac disease, your first- degree relatives may also need to get screened for it, because, like diabetes the disease is genetic, although many of its triggers seem to be environmental factors. You may want to consider getting a genetic test for celiac disease, so you can at least warn your relatives if it turns out that you do carry a celiac gene.
