Does any one have any forum pet peeves? My biggest pet peeve is when people post their topics in blatantly wrong sections.While it can be hard to figure out if something goes in post dx or coping with, since they can overlap. I'm talking about posts that are asking for recipes that are posted to the coping section. It's really not that hard to scroll to recipes and post it there. Yes the mods do move posts like that to the correct section. But that only bugs me a little less because the moved label attracts my attention.

Does anyone else have any forum pet peeves?

Are the limited to this forum or all forums?

If I catch a recipe in the Tech section shortly after posting, I don't put the moved thing on it. I find those irritating, too. If its been there awhile & is getting answers, then I feel I have to explain where it went to the folks following it.

Here's my pet peeve: Mini-trolls. People who sign up for 5 minutes to post something , usually in an old thread, that is negative and usually blatantly false. They never come back but have tried to start trouble.

I don't do alot of other forums but my son says these mini-trolls appear even on the Ford Ranger forum. They are happily discussing the best way to apply stripe stickers around a curved part and some idiot will post that some brand of oil is bad. :angry:

At least mini trolls go away quick. In another forum I belong to we had a consistent troll for several months. But it is an unmoderated forum so it's harder for action to be taken. But, they were banned then found a new way in... It was actually quite sad because the forum lost several members and it really scared off the new members. Since the troll was mean and insulting.

Every now and then some weirdness happens and everyone is just crabby.

It is hard to communicate without facial expressions, tone of voice, and hand gestures. Sorry I grew up in an Italian neighborhood, something you just have to use your hands. ;)

One of the things that bothers me about all forums is when young people use texting jargon. You know, things like "R U going 2 B home?" Instead of "Are you going to be home?" It takes a fraction of a second longer to type out the real words, and it is SO much easier to read!

Ohhhh . . . that's a good one!! Having issues with that here at home. One of my kids will say "BRB" as they leave the room and I yell after them . . . "USE YOUR WORDS" like I'm talking to a 2-year old <_<

People who post the same topic in two or more different sections of the forum

The only pet peeve I really have is the folks that come on one time to revive a tread that may be years old about an unsafe item and post that it is in reality safe for us for because it tests out at such and such a level so it doesn't matter that they use barley etc in it.

Or the ones that announce they have found some 'miracle' cure that will allow us to eat whatever we want if we take some companies preperation.

I guess technically that is two peeves.

I don't like how the forums on this board don't have "stickies" at the top with the most commonly asked questions. This is something I see used in most other forums and is EXTREMELY helpful. It helps all users, especially new ones, quickly find information, and avoids a million people asking the same question over and over instead of assisting them in benefiting from previous conversations about the same topic.

Threads that start with the declaration "fill in the blank" is NOT gluton free, with no more justification than "it had to be because everything else I ate yesterday was safe". And the product clearly contains no gluten ingredients.

Another one. "The person on the phone wouldn't confirm it was gluten-free". So it must have gluten, right?

best regards, lm

YES!!!!!!!! I asked one mod about this, but she did not know why there wasn't a FAQ section. It would save a lot of time.

I feel like I am a less effective communicator without my hands (I tried sitting on them while teaching an Interpersonal Communication class to prove my point to the students) It was really difficult and frustrating.

Without hand gestures, facial expressions and voice inflection, we are often misunderstood. :rolleyes:

That is one of my irritants as well.

And finally, people who start new topics about the fries at McDonalds. As if the hundred or so we already have had since 2006 haven't addressed all the questions. :(:angry: :angry:

      How many people here are aware that there are 9 types of gluten that Celiacs should be aware of?

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      Since lectins occur in almost everything, it's pretty unrealistic to avoid them all.  I didn't understand the rationale behind Dr. Gundry's lists either. Many fruits either contain high histamine amounts or are histamine releasers.  Histamine is made by our body, but we can also consume it in foods, because plants and animals make histamine, too.  Histamine is a neurotransmitter, that results in alertness.  That cup of coffee in the morning?  Releases histamine, so we wake up more.  But histamine is released as part of the immune response in Celiac and other illnesses, causing inflammation.   Our body can clear histamine, but if the body can't keep up with the histamine we are making ourselves as well as the histamine we're eating, we can have serious problems, digestive problems, insomnia, depression.  Some fruits can have high levels of fructose, one kind of sugar in fruits.  Some intestinal bacteria can ferment fructose, resulting in gas, bloating, diarrhea.  So, yes, Fructose Malabsorption can occur in Celiac.   Your dont list...Honey, maple syrup, lectins (and their attached carbohydrates), sugar... ....bedridden...These are all carbohydrates, sugars.  We need Thiamine to turn carbohydrates into energy.  Without sufficient thiamine, we can develop Gastrointestinal BeriBeri which has the classic digestive symptoms, nausea, diarrhea, abdominal pain. Tannins in tea and coffee cleave thiamine in two, making it nonfunctional.   Your do list...hazelnuts, pistachios, pressure cooked potatoes, and yogurt, butter, cheese.... These are foods that contain thiamine.  Pressure cooked mashed potatoes have more thiamine than boiled potatoes.  Those nuts are high in thiamine.  Dairy products are a good source of thiamine.   I can't diagnose, I'm not a doctor.  You read these articles and let me know if anything rings a bell with you.  Yes, I see thiamine deficiency everywhere because it is unrecognized by doctors.  I recognize it because I had it. Hiding in Plain Sight: Modern Thiamine Deficiency https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC8533683/ Thiamine deficiency disorders: a clinical perspective https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC8451766/ Refeeding Syndrome https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/books/NBK564513/ Refeeding Syndrome (a different article...) https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/33232094/

      Abscesses on legs

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      The AIP diet restricts carbohydrates for the first few weeks.  Excluding carbohydrates changes your microbiome.  The bacteria that live in the intestines that feed on carbs get starved out when you don't eat carbs.  Small Intestinal Bacterial Overgrowth (SIBO) occurs frequently in Celiac Disease.  SIBO can cause gas, bloating, and diarrhea, symptoms similar to Celiac symptoms.   When the digestive system is feeling better, then additional foods are added back slowly to look for reactions.  I did not consume carbs for a several months because I felt better without them.  Currently, a "Modified AIP diet" has allowed rice, but doing this won't starve out the SIBO that occurs in celiac disease. I took vitamins and minerals throughout the day and felt great improvement because those essential nutrients were finally being absorbed. Thanks for letting me share what made my celiac journey better.

      Hello there!  Just wondering how things are going for you.  Did you try the Benfotiamine?  I'm always curious how others fare after taking thiamine.  Hope you can post an update. Hope you're doing well!

      @knitty kitty maybe I’m a little out of touch with fashion having been pretty much bed ridden for so long but this seems ridiculous to me.. ‘As a result of their potential for toxicity and their “anti-nutritional effects” it is almost inevitable that lectin exclusion could well become a big food fad‘ I just can’t imagine anyone avoiding lectins if they didn’t have to. When I first looked at the gundry avoid list I couldn’t understand why so many things were on it that are not high lectin (fruit ect.) and assumed high sugar items must’ve been added because people use the diet for weight loss so I tried eating them and got sick. He’s recently added honey and maple syrup to the approved list by popular demand but I can’t eat them. For me it seems to be almost all lectins, sugar, and possibly tannins because I can’t have tea and not sure what else could be causing the nausea. I’ve had some luck with pressure cooked mashed potato but pressure cooking white rice as gundry recommends didn’t help. The aip diet doesn’t match the foods I can tolerate as well as the gundry list and it seems to be mostly the high sugar things, also some of the aip avoid foods I’m fine with, hazelnut, pistachio. Yogurt and butter is on the aip avoid and again my guts agree with gundry on this, cheese yogurt and butter fine, milk not so much. Now it’s possible to get an igg test it seems an unnecessarily painful and slow process to attempt aip or total lectin avoidance and reintroduction, I wish I’d known about these tests before, it’d have saved me a lot of bother.

      @Liquid lunch, I prefer the AutoImmune Protocol Diet, developed by a Celiac, Dr. Sarah Ballantyne.   I would be interested on your point of view about the AIP diet compared to the Lectin Free diet.   Here's some research on both....
