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

      Outgrow celiac?

      By Wheatwacked · Posted

      Testing can't alone be trusted.  Else why would it take so many years of testing and retesting and misdiagnosis to finally be told, yes you have Celiac Disease. As to what to eat, I like pre 1950 style food.  Before the advent of TV dinners.  Fresh food is better for you, and cooking from scratch is cheaper.  Watch Rachel Ray's 30 Minute Meals for how to cook.  Keep in mind that she is not gluten free, but her techniques are awesome.  Just use something else instead of wheat, barley, rye. Dr Fuhrman is a ex cardiologist.  His book Eat to Live and Dr Davis' book Wheatbelly were instrumental in my survival.

      Celiac and dermatitis herpetiformis has taken Me from Me

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      If you have DH you will likely also want to avoid iodine, which is common in seafoods and dairy products, as it can exacerbate symptoms in some people. This article may also be helpful as it offers various ways to relieve the itch--thanks for the tip about Dupixent, and I've added it to the article:

      I just want to clarify that what I posted is a category of research summaries we've done over the years, and nearly each one shows that there is definitely a connection to celiac disease and migraine headaches. The latest study said: "the study did indicate some potential causal associations between celiac disease and migraine with or without aura, as well as between migraine without aura and ulcerative colitis...this study did not find evidence of a shared genetic basis..." Anyway, there is definitely a connection, and you can go through more of the articles here if you're interested: https://www.celiac.com/celiac-disease/celiac-disease-amp-related-diseases-and-disorders/migraine-headaches-and-celiac-disease/

      Celiac and dermatitis herpetiformis has taken Me from Me

      By SusanJ · Posted

      Two months ago, I started taking Dupixent for dermatitis herpetiformis and it has completely cleared it up. I can't believe it! I have had a terrible painful, intensely itchy rash for over a year despite going fully gluten-free. See if your doctor will prescribe Dupixent. It can be expensive but I am getting it free. When the dermatitis herpetiformis was bad I could not do anything. I just lay in bed covered in ice packs to ease the pain/itching and using way too Clobetasol. Dapsone is also very good for dermatitis herpetiformis (and it is generic). It helped me and the results were immediate but it gave me severe anemia so the Dupixent is better for me. Not sure if it works for everyone. I cannot help with the cause of your stress but from experience I am sure the severe stress is making the celiac and dermatitis herpetiformis worse. Very difficult for you with having children to care for and you being so sick. Would this man be willing to see a family therapist with you? He may be angry at you or imagine that your illness is a psychosomatic excuse not to take care of him. A therapist might help even if he won't go with you. Also do you have any family that you could move in with (with the kids) for a short time to get away? A break may be good for you both.

      @tiffanygosci, Thiamine deficiency is a thing in pregnancy for "normal" people, so it's exponentially more important for those with celiac disease and malabsorption issues. I studied nutrition before earning a degree in Microbiology because I was curious what the vitamins were doing inside the body.  See my blog.  Click on my name to go to my page, scroll to drop down menu "activities" and select blog.   So glad you're motivated to see the dietician!  We're always happy to help with questions.  Keep us posted on your progress!
