Question About Changing My Avatar

Yes, I see several others who have asked on here about how to do it, but the answers don't help me. Keeping in mind that I am technology-challenged, can someone tell me how to do it? I went to my profile, and found where to change it, and tried to upload a photo from my computer. But it says "failed because it was too large" or something like that. And I do see that it says no larger than 50 kb (I think that's what it said?) -- But, first of all how do I know how many "kbs" my photo is? And if it's more, how do I change it? (a related question might be "what's a kb?" but not sure I really need to know that, do I? lol...) -- Thanks much.

Afraid I'm not much help explaining it...I just know how to do it. :P Wherever you have your photo, right click on it to bring up the properties and it should tell you how many kb it is. Do you have any graphics editing software on your computer...MS Paint might work? If so you should be able to reduce the size of the photo to make it about 150 pixels wide, which should also correspondingly reduce the height. Try that and see if it works. You might want to "copy" the photo so you have a duplicate to work with. Wouldn't want you to mess up your original. I'm having a terrible time trying to explain it...

If that doesn't work, PM me. Good luck!

Ha! I have no idea how to do any of that. I went to look at my photos and they're way over the limit and I have NO idea how to fix it.

A lot of photos are much too large. If you have a photo you'd like to use, want to email it to me and I'll see if I can resize it for you.

      Gluten Sensitivity

      Hello. Do you mind saying what symptoms led the doctors to test for bacteria in your blood?

      Gluten Sensitivity

      So you you ate wheat products every single day for 50 years without a problem but then in the 90's you discovered that wheat was your problem. That's confusing to me. It seems contradictory. Did you have a problem or not?

      Gluten Sensitivity

      I spent my first 50 years eating wheat products every single day with no ill affects. Being a 6’2” Italian you can imagine what my diet was like and believe me I had an appetite that wouldn’t quit. In the 90’s once I discovered the wheat was my problem I avoided it and no longer had IBS. I seriously doubt I have celiac but I appreciate your input a...

      Gluten Sensitivity

      I would say two things and then I'm done. Many celiacs have been misdiagnosed for years with IBS. Testing for celiac disease requires regular and significant consumption of gluten for weeks/months in order to be valid.

      Latent celiac, need to go gluten free, advice on kitchen "reset?"

      Can the rest of your household eat the food with gluten instead of getting rid of it? Can you create one shelf, or partial shelf, for your new food in the pantry, in the fridge and in the cabinets as a start? My husband is not gluten free so we each have a cabinet, and separate shelves in the fridge. If we have to share space the gluten free foods...

In the 90’s once I discovered the wheat was my problem I avoided it and no longer had IBS.  I seriously doubt I have celiac but I appreciate your input and will let you know if I have a problem with wheat again. I’ve been eating things I’ve longed for for decades and have never felt better.

My husband is not gluten free so we each have a cabinet, and separate shelves in the fridge. If we have to share space the gluten free foods go on the upper shelves so crumbs with gluten can’t fall onto them. Good luck!
