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.

      Help I’m cross contaminating myself,

      By Rogol72 · Posted

      @klmgarland, My dermatitis herpetiformis didn't clear up until I became meticulous about cross contamination. I cut out gluten-free oats and all gluten-free foods, dairy and gluten-free rice. Additionally, getting the right amount of protein for my body weight helped significantly in my body's healing process ... along with supplementing with enough of all the vitamins and minerals ... especially Zinc and Magnesium. I went from 70kg to 82kg in a year. Protein with each meal 3 times daily, especially eggs at breakfast made the difference. I'm not sure whether iodine was a problem for me, but I can tolerate iodine no problem now. I'm off Dapsone and feel great. Not a sign of an itch. So there is hope. I'm not advocating for the use of Dapsone, but it can bring a huge amount of relief despite it's effect on red blood cells. The itch is so distracting and debilitating. I tried many times to get off it, it wasn't until I implemented the changes above and was consistent that I got off it. Dermatitis Herpetiformis is horrible, I wouldn't wish it on anyone.

      Help I’m cross contaminating myself,

      By klmgarland · Posted

      Thank you so very much Scott.  Just having someone understand my situation is so very helpful.  If I have one more family member ask me how my little itchy skin thing is going and can't you just take a pill and it will go away and just a little bit of gluten can't hurt you!!!! I think I will scream!!

      Help I’m cross contaminating myself,

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      It is difficult to do the detective work of tracking down hidden sources of cross-contamination. The scenarios you described—the kiss, the dish towel, the toaster, the grandbaby's fingers—are all classic ways those with dermatitis herpetiformis might get glutened, and it's a brutal learning curve that the medical world rarely prepares you for. It is difficult to have to deal with such hyper-vigilance. The fact that you have made your entire home environment, from makeup to cleaners, gluten-free is a big achievement, but it's clear the external world and shared spaces remain a minefield. Considering Dapsone is a logical and often necessary step for many with DH to break the cycle of itching and allow the skin to heal while you continue your detective work; it is a powerful tool to give you back your quality of life and sleep. You are not failing; you are fighting an incredibly steep battle. For a more specific direction, connecting with a dedicated celiac support group (online or locally) can be invaluable, as members exchange the most current, real-world tips for avoiding cross-contamination that you simply won't find in a pamphlet. You have already done the hardest part by getting a correct diagnosis. Now, the community can help you navigate the rest. If you have DH you will likely also want to avoid iodine, which is common in seafoods and dairy products, as it can exacerbate symptoms in some people. This article may also be helpful as it offers various ways to relieve the itch:

      My only proof

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      It's very frustrating to be dismissed by medical professionals, especially when you are the one living with the reality of your condition every day. Having to be your own advocate and "fight" for a doctor who will listen is an exhausting burden that no one should have to carry. While that 1998 brochure is a crucial piece of your personal history, it's infuriating that the medical system often requires more contemporary, formal documentation to take a condition seriously. It's a common and deeply unfair situation for those who were diagnosed decades ago, before current record-keeping and testing were standard. You are not alone in this struggle.

      Methylprednisone treatment for inflammation?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Methylprednisolone is sometimes prescribed for significant inflammation of the stomach and intestines, particularly for conditions like Crohn's disease, certain types of severe colitis, or autoimmune-related gastrointestinal inflammation. As a corticosteroid, it works by powerfully and quickly suppressing the immune system's inflammatory response. For many people, it can be very effective at reducing inflammation and providing rapid relief from symptoms like pain, diarrhea, and bleeding, often serving as a short-term "rescue" treatment to bring a severe flare under control. However, experiences can vary, and its effectiveness depends heavily on the specific cause of the inflammation. It's also important to be aware that while it can work well, it comes with potential side effects, especially with longer-term use, so it's typically used for the shortest duration possible under close medical supervision. It's always best to discuss the potential benefits and risks specific to your situation with your gastroenterologist.
