needin approval is a little strange isn't it? we are adults here and asking questions concerning a very serious problem to most of us. i can see reviewing 2-4 posts. most people with a disease like are not going to put offensive stuff in print, at least i wouldn't. bt sometimes waiting to hear and answer to something is hard for some of us. just a thought! me personaly it is a little frustrating.

Most people are willing to put up with the inconvenience of moderation in order to keep the board free of spam.

It's not the people with celiac disease or legitimate questions that post offensive stuff. It's the random spammers that exist on the internet that will try to post ads for things like penis pumps and stuff that is a concern. I'm sure the board owners and mods have the post minimum there because some of those bots are persisitant and will keep trying more and than 3 times to get their spam posted.

Another way to look at this is that this is a great community of people and it's well worth it to stick around for a bit and post more than 2-3 questions. We are a great support group for those that don't know anyone in real life with this disease. I hope you can get past the post minimum to stick around and interact more on this board.

Yes, you would be amazed what people try to post here, and how many times they are willing to try it :unsure:

This is seriously frustrating to me because I am not a computer whiz and not used to using discussion boards, etc. I don't know the difference between a forum, a blog, a thread or a post. Come on, does it have to be this complicated to share info with people who share a difficult problem?

What would make it easier for you?

As far as I have seen, you have not shared any information with us yet, just complained because your first posts are moderated, :)

To help explain the forum (also referred to as the "board", I am responding to your "post" entitled "Posting Questions" which was "posted"as a "thread" in the" Board Forum Technical Help" section of the board.

Your first post could just as easily have been posted in the "Coping with Celiac Disease" section of the board and have asked us for help with some particular problem you are having. There is nearly always a moderator close by for post approval, so there is no big delay in getting your post seen by others and getting the help you are asking for.

A blog is someone's home page where they post information for friends and family, or it may be a commercial blog where they post recipes and other information. Links to personal blogs are not permitted in posts as part of the board rules, but you may post information about your blog in your profile.

Now what's so difficult about that? :)

      How long have you been strictly gluten free? Certainly, it would be good to look into vitamin and mineral deficiencies and supplementation. The B vitamins, magnesium and D3 are all very important to neurological health. Unfortunately, it can be difficult to reverse gluten-induced neurological damage damage if it has gone on for a long time.

      Thanks Trents I'm strict with my gluten-free diet now. I just don't feel any better. I'm going to get tested for vitamins and minerals to see if I need some supplements. For sure I got some damage that doctors call Menier's and the only way they treat it is with medicine that does damage my body more than it helps.

      Thank you Scott for your helpful response! Based on this, would you say someone who is on a gluten-free diet - but not strict about cross-contamination and occasional cheating - and tests negative for tTg-IgA while having normal total IgA is not likely to have celiac, even if they have been 'gluten-free' for years?
    • Scott Adams
      That’s a really insightful observation about antibody testing and the gluten challenge! You’re absolutely right that antibody levels can remain elevated for months or even years after going gluten-free, especially if there’s ongoing cross-contamination or occasional slip-ups. The immune system doesn’t reset overnight—it can take time for antibodies like tTG-IgA to normalize, which is why many doctors recommend waiting at least 6–12 months of strict gluten-free eating before retesting. For someone who’s been gluten-free for less than two years or hasn’t been meticulous about avoiding cross-contact, there’s absolutely a chance they’d still test positive, since even small amounts of gluten can keep antibodies elevated. This is partly why the gluten challenge (where you eat gluten before testing) exists—it’s designed to provoke a measurable immune response in people who’ve been gluten-free long enough for antibodies to drop. But you raise a great point: the challenge isn’t perfect, and false negatives can happen if the timing or amount of gluten isn’t sufficient to trigger a strong antibody response. This is why diagnosis often combines antibody tests with other tools like genetic testing or endoscopy. Your question highlights just how nuanced celiac testing can be! For people with celiac disease hidden gluten in their diets is the main cause of elevated Tissue Transglutaminase IgA Antibodies (tTG-IgA), but there are other conditions, including cow's milk/casein intolerance, that can also cause this, and here is an article about the other possible causes:

      Thank you for your response! I have considered starting a food diary in the past, I suppose this is as good a time as any to start.
