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.

      Curious question

      So I've been dealing with chasing the name celiac because of my body actively dealing with health issues related to celiac though not eating. Diagnosed in 1994 before foods eliminated from diet. After 25 years with former pcp I googled celiac specialist and she wasn't because of what ive been through. I wanted my results to be sent to my pcp but nothing was...

      Celiac Disease and Longevity: Can Treatment and Healing Improve Long-Term Survival?

      Thanks for the prompt reply. Interesting that blood test could be caused by other things. I am sure Dr Fincher will get to the bottom of it. I know he ate nowhere near that amt of gluten before the endoscope. Always interested in any new info abt celiac. U can not trust what is said on fb- That would be a piece of bread a day. He didn't even make that...

      So I've been dealing with chasing the name celiac because of my body actively dealing with health issues related to celiac though not eating. Diagnosed in 1994 before foods eliminated from diet. After 25 years with former pcp I googled celiac specialist and she wasn't because of what ive been through. I wanted my results to be sent to my pcp but nothing was sent.I have email copies.I did one zoom call with np with team member from celiac specialist in Nov 2025 and she asked me why I wanted to know why I wanted the celiac diagnosis so bad, I sad I don't, its my life and I need revalidaion because its affecting me.KB stated well it shows you are.I asked then why am I going through all this.I was labeled unruly. Its been a celiac circus and medical has caused anxiety and depression no fault to my own other than being born with bad genetics. How is it legal for medical professionals to gaslight patients that are with an ailment coming for help to be downplayed? KB put in my records that she personally spent 120min with me and I think the zoom call was discussing celiac 80 min ONE ZOOM call.SHE is responsible for not explaining to my pcp about celiac disease am I right?

      I've noticed with my age and menopause my smell for bread gives me severe migraines and I know this.Its alarming that there are all these fabulous bakeries, sandwich places pizza places popping up in confined areas.Just the other day I suffered a migraine after I got done with my mri when a guy with a brown paper bag walk in front of me and I smelled that fresh dough bread with tuna, I got a migraine when we got home.I hate im that sensitive. Its alarming these places are popping up in airports as well.I just saw on the news that the airport ( can't remember which  one)was going to have a fabulous smelling bakery. Not for sensitive celiacs, this can alter their health during their travel which isn't safe. More awareness really NEEDS to be promoted, so much more than just a food consumption!FYI I did write to Stanislaus to let them know my thoughts on the medical field not knowing much about celiac and how it affects one.I also did message my gi the 3 specialist names that was given on previous post on questions on celiac. I pray its not on deaf door.
