I understand that celiac.com doesn't want people promoting their own home pages.

What about a link to a specific, lengthy science post on my site? I really don't want to paste a lot of material into a post here, but I think the information would be of value to the members.

Peter, the place to put information about your website is in your profile - that is where the link belongs. You may refer to your link in a post and tell people to check our your website or something specific on it in a post, by referring them to your profile, but not put the specific link itself in the post. Links to other sites (than your own) are permitted in posts..

I was wondering about an on-site blog? I thought it would be fun to collect things right here on celiac.com. I don't know that other board members know how to get to blogs from people's profiles.

My interpretation of the rule would be that linking to your blog here at celiac.com is not a violation.

Linking to another site with your content is against the rule. The reasons are complicated--if you really want to know, send me a personal message and I'll reply.

No worries. I think disallowing personal offsite links is a good policy. There are too many who would take advantage of free publicity.

I just answered someone with my favorite recipe blog links and thought how nice it would be if I could store the list somewhere instead of hunting down my post because the question is bound to come up again. The onsite blog will work perfectly.

I was wanting to repost some of my blogs from my personal site here on the celiac.com blog feature but I can't figure out how to make it work. I can click on blog and post a comment but not write a blog. How does it work?

I'm not certain but when I looked at "blogs" I saw a button on the right, above the other blogs that said "Create a new blog" (or something like that). I clicked it and it gave me the rules to agree to. Did you do that? I didn't want a blog so I didn't go any further.

Click your name in the upper-right corner to get to "manage blogs" on the dropdown. There is a create blog button on that page. Once you have created it, there is an "add entry" button on the regular blogs tab from the main page. You also get a "blog this" button that shows up on all the posts from the board, which is nice for saving a post you think might help someone else.

Thanks. I don't have "manage blogs" in my drop down or a "create new blog" link available. Maybe I'm too new?

Is it ok to post links to new blogs in status updates? I'm often sharing gluten-free recipes and would prefer not to redo them all in order to share here, and the services I offer on another part of the site are locally based.

When you click on the pull-down triangle to the right of your name, you should get this menu:

My Profile

My Settings

My Content

My Liked Content

Messenger (? New)

Manage Friends

Manage Ignored Users

Manage Blogs

You are not "too new," there is no eligibility requirement.

Posting status updates which refer to your blog would, in my interpretation of the rules, be acceptable.

While on the subject of blogs, I have been noticing the "Blog this" button and wondering about it. Now that Skylark has mentioned it, it has disappeared from down the lefthand corner next to"Report" :wacko:

Hi Peter,

I would qualify the above with ONLY if they are hosted on Celiac.com

Referring just to 'Your Blog' leaves it open to to interpretation, leaving the impression that, Blogger or Wordpress etc links are acceptable - Which they are not!

I found that out the hard way.

David,

We are talking about "status updates" made in your profile page, not posts to the board. Status updates are seen only by members who view the person's profile, either by going to their profile page, or clicking on the timy "View Profile" icon to the right of the member's name.

The proper place to post your Web site, business or other services is in your profile, not in your signature block or in posts.

Nope. I've got all the other links, but not "Manage Blog"

I don't have 'Manage Blog' either. Maybe because I don't have a blog?

Could be. Hmm.

Try clicking on "Blogs" near the top left. It's sort of floating in space under the main option line. See if you can create one from there.

I don't see anything that says "Blogs" there. The only thing there is:

Okay, I got what to do. Click "Blogs" in the main Option line. Then you will get a button pop up under "Mark Board as Read" on the right hand side which says "Create New Blog" :D How come I didn't figure that out before???:blink:

Okay, so I went out and locked the door behind me, came back in through the main front door (using my key), signed in again, and I'm sorry to say that "Blogs" is still not there, circled or otherwise :P

It seems like the drop down menu by the user name in top right of the screen is context sensitive. When I first looked for it I was reading this thread after doing "view new content". I could see the manage blog link at the bottom of the drop down menu like Peter said.

Then I clicked on the main forum link and checked and the drop down menu again. And the manage blog link was no longer there. In fact the whole menu list had changed.

We seem to have a variable, context sensitive menu system here. Kind of like the weather report, we can't tell which way it is going to blow...

Mebbe it is something to do with one's browser? I use Firefox. Peter's page looks a bit different to mine.

      Rice Flakes

      By sillyac58 · Posted

      I ame looking for rice flakes that aren't cross contaminated to use in making oat free granola. Does anyone know of a brand? Also I see that some people just used puffed rice cereal, but it seems like that wouldn't be sturdy enough to withstand the mixing without crumbling. Any ideas out there? Thanks!

      Does Dailymed.nlm.nih.gov site have filters for gluten?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      There isn't because there is currently no gluten-free labeling requirement for prescription medications. You can search this site for prescriptions medications, but will need to know the manufacturer/maker if there is more than one, especially if you use a generic version of the medication: To see the ingredients you will need to click on the correct version of the medication and maker in the results, then scroll down to "Ingredients and Appearance" and click it, and then look at "Inactive Ingredients," as any gluten ingredients would likely appear there, rather than in the Active Ingredients area. https://dailymed.nlm.nih.gov/dailymed/

      Is Purito's Oat In Calming Gel Cream safe for celiacs?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Since they make not "gluten-free" claim on their site: https://purito.com/product/new-oat-in-calming-gel-cream/ I'd treat this as though it contains small amounts to gluten, but I just want to mention that skin contact with gluten isn't an issue for the vast majority of celiacs.

      Reportable Disease

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Your frustration is completely valid and speaks to a massive, systemic failure in how chronic autoimmune conditions like celiac disease are managed and tracked. You are absolutely right—it is not right. While reportable diseases typically refer to acute infectious outbreaks that require immediate public health intervention (like measles or foodborne illness), the spirit of your point is crucial: the lack of a centralized registry or formal tracking for celiac means patients are often left to navigate a maze of medical gaslighting and ignorance on their own, exactly as you've experienced for decades. This dismissal has real and devastating consequences on mental and physical health. Channeling your anger into advocacy is a powerful and necessary response. Starting with local representatives, your state's health department, or patient advocacy groups (like Beyond Celiac or the Celiac Disease Foundation) to lobby for better physician education and systemic recognition could be a impactful way to turn your painful experience into a force for change, so others don't have to suffer the same nightmare. You are not alone in this fight.

      Emergency Room

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      I am so sorry you went through such a terrifying and severe reaction; that sounds absolutely awful and it's completely understandable that you ended up in the ER. Unfortunately, pizzerias are indeed one of the highest-risk places for cross-contact, as gluten-containing flour can stay airborne for hours and contaminate surfaces, utensils, and even the gluten-free ingredients. For your recovery, the best course is to continue exactly what you're doing: prioritize rest and hydration with electrolytes like Pedialyte, as your body has been through a massive ordeal. Stick to very simple, easy-to-digest foods like bone broth, plain rice, bananas, or applesauce for the next few days to avoid further upsetting your system. Be patient with yourself, as the weakness and fatigue can linger for a while as the inflammation subsides. It's a brutal reminder of how serious this is, and while it's devastating that one of your rare meals out went so wrong, your caution is completely justified. I hope you feel back to 100% very soon.
