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.

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.

      results from 13 day gluten challenge - does this mean I can't have celiac?

      @catnapt, Wheat germ has very little gluten in it. Gluten is the carbohydrate storage protein, what the flour is made from, the fluffy part. Just like with beans, there's the baby plant that will germinate ("germ"-inate) if sprouted, and the bean part is the carbohydrate storage protein.

      Raising you vitamin D will increase absorption of calcium automatically without supplementation of calcium.  A high PTH can be caused by low D causing poor calcium absorption; not insuffient calcium intake.  With low D your body is not absorbing calcium from your food so it steals it from your bones.  Heart has priority over bone. I've been taking 10,000 IU D3 a day since 2015.  My doctor says to continue. To fix my lactose intolerance, lots of lactobacillus from yogurts, and brine fermented pickles and saurkraut and olives.  We lose much of our ability to make lactase endogenosly with maturity but a healthy colony of lactobacillus in our gut excretes lactase in exchange for room and board. The milk protein in grass fed milk does not bother me. It tastes like the milk I grew up on.  If I drink commercial milk I get heartburn at night. Some experts estimate that 90% of us do not eat Adequite Intake of choline.  Beef and eggs are the principle source. Iodine deficiency is a growing concern.  I take 600 mcg a day of Liquid Iodine.  It and NAC have accelerated my healing all over.  Virtually blind in my right eye after starting antihypertensive medication and vision is slowly coming back.  I had to cut out starches because they drove my glucose up into the 200+ range.  I replaced them with Red Bull for the glucose intake with the vitamins, minerals and Taurine needed to process through the mitochodria Krebs Cycle to create ATP.  Went from A1c 13 down to 7.9.  Work in progress. Also take B1,B2,B3,B5,B6. Liquid Iodine, Phosphatidyl Choline, Q10, Selenium, D and DHEA.     Choline supplemented as phosphatidylcholine decreases fasting and postmethionine-loading plasma homocysteine concentrations in healthy men +

Luckily you still have time to do a proper gluten challenge (10 grams of gluten per day for a minimum of two weeks) before your next appointment when you can be retested.

      Hello, @asaT, I'm curious to know whether you are taking other B vitamins like Thiamine B1 and Niacin B3.  Malabsorption in Celiac disease affects all the water soluble B vitamins and Vitamin C.  Thiamine and Niacin are required to produce energy for all the homocysteine lowering reactions provided by Folate, Cobalamine and Pyridoxine.   Weight gain with a voracious appetite is something I experienced while malnourished.  It's symptomatic of Thiamine B1 deficiency.   Conversely, some people with thiamine deficiency lose their appetite altogether, and suffer from anorexia.  At different periods on my lifelong journey, I suffered this, too.   When the body doesn't have sufficient thiamine to turn food, especially carbohydrates, into energy (for growth and repair), the body rations what little thiamine it has available, and turns the carbs into fat, and stores it mostly in the abdomen.  Consuming a high carbohydrate diet requires additional thiamine to process the carbs into energy.  Simple carbohydrates (sugar, white rice, etc.) don't contain thiamine, so the body easily depletes its stores of Thiamine processing the carbs into fat.  The digestive system communicates with the brain to keep eating in order to consume more thiamine and other nutrients it's not absorbing.   One can have a subclinical thiamine insufficiency for years.  A twenty percent increase in dietary thiamine causes an eighty percent increase in brain function, so the symptoms can wax and wane mysteriously.  Symptoms of Thiamine insufficiency include stunted growth, chronic fatigue, and Gastrointestinal Beriberi (diarrhea, abdominal pain), heart attack, Alzheimer's, stroke, and cancer.   Thiamine improves bone turnover.  Thiamine insufficiency can also affect the thyroid.  The thyroid is important in bone metabolism.  The thyroid also influences hormones, like estrogen and progesterone, and menopause.  Vitamin D, at optimal levels, can act as a hormone and can influence the thyroid, as well as being important to bone health, and regulating the immune system.  Vitamin A is important to bone health, too, and is necessary for intestinal health, as well.   I don't do dairy because I react to Casein, the protein in dairy that resembles gluten and causes a reaction the same as if I'd been exposed to gluten, including high tTg IgA.  I found adding mineral water containing calcium and other minerals helpful in increasing my calcium intake.   Malabsorption of Celiac affects all the vitamins and minerals.  I do hope you'll talk to your doctor and dietician about supplementing all eight B vitamins and the four fat soluble vitamins because they all work together interconnectedly.

I take NAKA Women's Multi full spectrum, and have not felt sick after taking 2 capsules per day -  it is a Canadian company. I buy both from Amazon. I wish you well in your searching, I know how discouraging it all is. Florence.

      highly unlikely  NOTHING and I mean NOTHING else has ever caused me these kinds of symptoms I have no problem with dates, they are a large part of my diet In fact, I eat a very high fiber, very high vegetable and bean diet and have for many years now. It's considered a whole foods plant based or plant forward diet (I do now eat some lean ground turkey but not much) I was off dairy for years but recently had to add back plain yogurt to meet calcium needs that I am not allowed to get from supplements (I have not had any problem with the yogurt)   I eat almost no processed foods. I don't eat out. almost everything I eat, I cook myself I am going to keep a food diary but to be honest, I already know that it's wheat products and also barley that are the problem, which is why I gradually stopped eating and buying them. When I was eating them, like back in early 2024, when I was in the middle of moving and ate out (always had bread or toast or rolls or a sub or pizza) I felt terrible but at that time was so busy and exhausted that I never stopped to think it was the food. Once I was in my new place, I continued to have bread from time to time and had such horrible joint pain that I was preparing for 2 total knee replacements as well as one hip! The surgery could not go forward as I was (and still am) actively losing calcium from my bones. That problem has yet to be properly diagnosed and treated   anyway over time I realized that I felt better when I stopped eating bread. Back at least 3 yrs ago I noticed that regular pasta made me sick so I switched to brown rice pasta and even though it costs a lot more, I really like it.   so gradually I just stopped buying and eating foods with gluten. I stopped getting raisin bran when I was constipated because it made me bloated and it didn't help the constipation any more (used to be a sure bet that it would in the past)   I made cookies and brownies using beans and rolled oats and dates and tahini and I LOVE them and have zero issues eating those I eat 1 or more cans of beans per day easily can eat a pound of broccoli - no problem! Brussels sprouts the same thing.   so yeh it's bread and related foods that are clearly the problem  there is zero doubt in my mind
