When you politely disagree with someone, in return they call it an "attack".

I left politics for a reason. :D

I'm here to peeve! Celiac's disease or celiacs disease. AUUUUGHH! IT'S NOT PLURAL AND IT'S NOT POSSESSIVE!

Thank you. I feel much better. :ph34r:

I think this one comes from the following:

We talk about celiac disease. We also talk about things that affect celiacs (the people) So people get the two confused and call celiacs the disease instead of the people who have the disease :P

Yes!! For some, any disagreement is an argument or an attack, not a discussion. :unsure:

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

Tied in with that is another of my pet peeves - the assumption that every single time someone feels weird, they must have gotten into gluten. It can't be a virus, another intolerance, food poisoning, or simply a bad day.

I have a bigger pet peeve though that drove me off the board once in frustration. It probably will again eventually. There is a collective refusal to accept new ideas about celiac disease and gluten intolerance, to the point of persecuting people who suggest something new or different. There are people on the board who think they know a lot more than the real experts who are publishing peer-reviewed research, but they generally don't. It gets quite tedious and frustrating, coping with the "board think."

Thank you, thank you, thank you. :)

I am cursed with a proofreader's eyes and grammar and spelling errors almost "light up". UGH!

I stop myself all the time from correcting people because I am a RETIRED English professor and no one likes a pain-in-the-arse grammar phobe with a red pen. :lol: :lol: :lol:

(Not that I haven't made a few errors myself. :lol: When I am passionately presenting my case, I get carried away...)

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:

:lol:

Peter, I have often wondered...wouldn't a FAQ section with these kinds of queries stop those repetitive questions? I know when I first joined the forum, I used the search mode for threads, but I also probably asked questions you guys answered many times as well. (And thank you all for your unlimited patience :) )

Amen to this. It makes me very uncomfortable when someone feels an opinion is a judgement of some kind and lashes out at others on a thread. I thought the purpose of a forum was to discuss. I always say IMHO so as not to offend, but sometimes it is like walking on eggshells. :unsure: I am not here to argue; I am here to learn and help if I can. Maybe some people are still healing and gluten is still affecting their moods? IMHO :lol:

As far as a FAQ section is concerned, I think it's a great idea. Only problem: If someone can't even be bothered to take the time to read the Board Rules, would they really read a FAQ section?

Some people will want to fight about the FAQs.

So true!

And I do wish people would learn to use that Google button at the top right hand corner of the screen. So many questions being asked have been asked before and answered in great detail. Very helpful.

But please....don't pull up a post from 2004 and expect the info to be accurate!

Or the OP to answer back with her recipe!

I have had people PM me to ask why people are so rude and don't respond back. I have to explain that the person hasn't been on in 5 years.

Er... guilty? I've been on the board depressed, brain-fogged, and grumpy and have made posts I shouldn't have. :huh: I do always try to apologize.

I'd rather than than a thread hijack! Yet another pet peeve. Find a vaguely relevant thread, put your lab results in the middle, then get petulant when nobody answers your question because they didn't notice it and were focused on the original poster.

Many message boards automatically lock threads after there have been no replies for a certain period of time. We would benefit immensely from that. There is hardly ever a situation where an old thread is dug up that doesn't lead to confusion and hurt feelings. Even worse, many of the old threads contain out-of-date product information.

How about extremely long posts, with no paragraphs. I do tend to skip those. My old tired eyes can't handle those. B)

      Ibuprofen

      By cristiana · Posted

      @Colleen H   I am just curious,  when you were tested for coeliac disease, did the doctors find out if you had any deficiencies? Sometimes muscle pain can be caused by certain deficiencies, for example, magnesium, vitamin D, calcium, and potassium.   Might be worth looking into having some more tests.  Pins and needles can be neuropathy, again caused by deficiencies, such as iron and B12,  which can be reversed if these deficiencies are addressed. In the UK where I live we are usually only tested for iron, B12 and vitamin D deficiencies at diagnosis.   I was very iron anemic and supplementation made a big difference.  B12 was low normal, but in other countries the UK's low normal would be considered a deficiency.  My vitamin D was low normal, and I've been supplementing ever since (when I remember to take it!) My pins and needles definitely started to improve when my known deficiencies were addressed.  My nutritionist also gave me a broad spectrum supplement which really helped, because I suspect I wasn't just deficient in what I mention above but in many other vitamins and minerals.  But a word of warning, don't take iron unless blood tests reveal you actually need it, and if you are taking it your levels must be regularly monitored because too much can make you ill.  (And if you are currently taking iron, that might actually be making your stomach sore - it did mine, so my GP changed my iron supplementation to a gentler form, ferrous gluconate). Lastly, have you been trying to take anything to lessen the pain in your gut?  I get a sore stomach periodically, usually when I've had too much rich food, or when I have had to take an aspirin or certain antibiotics, or after glutening.  When this happens, I take for just a few days a small daily dose of OTC omeprazole.  I also follow a reflux or gastritis diet. There are lots online but the common denominators to these diets is you need to cut out caffeine, alcohol, rich, spicy, acidic food etc and eat small regularly spaced meals.   When I get a sore stomach, I also find it helpful to drink lots of water.  I also find hot water with a few slices of ginger very soothing to sip, or camomile tea.  A wedge pillow at night is good for reflux. Also,  best not to eat a meal 2-3 hours before going to bed. If the stomach pain is getting worse, though, it would be wise to see the doctor again. I hope some of this helps. Cristiana

      Knowing what to do when feeling unwell.

      By Me,Sue · Posted

      I was diagnosed with coeliac disease a couple of years ago [ish]. I love my food and a variety of food, so it's been hard, as it is with everyone. I try and ensure everything I eat doesn't contain gluten, but occasionally I think something must have got through that has gluten in. Mainly I know because I have to dash to the loo, but recently I have noticed that I feel nauseous after possibly being glutened. I think the thing that I have got better at is knowing what to do when I feel wiped out after a gluten 'episode'. I drink loads of water, and have just started drinking peppermint tea. I also have rehydration powders to drink. I don't feel like eating much, but eventually feel like I need to eat. Gluten free flapjacks, or gluten free cereal, or a small gluten free kids meal are my go to. I am retired, so luckily I can rest, sometimes even going to bed when nothing else works. So I feel that I am getting better at knowing how to try and get back on track. I am also trying to stick to a simpler menu and eat mostly at home so that I can be more confident about what I am eating. THANKS TO THOSE WHO REPLIED ABOUT THE NAUSEA .

      The Happy Tart review

      Thanks. Since the back and forth and promises of review and general stalling went on for more than six months, the credit company will no longer investigate. They have a cutoff of maybe six months.

      The Happy Tart review

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Is this the same restaurant? https://www.facebook.com/TheHappyTartFallsChurch/ Is it too late to take this up with your credit card company? Normally you have a few months to do a chargeback with them. It seems very odd that they are taking this approach with someone who is likely to be a regular customer--not a good business-minded way of handling things!

      Stomach burning and neuropathy

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Many people with celiac disease, especially those who are in the 0-2 year range of their recovery, have additional food intolerance issues which could be temporary. To figure this out you may need to keep a food diary and do an elimination diet over a few months. Some common food intolerance issues are dairy/casein, eggs, corn, oats, and soy. The good news is that after your gut heals (for most people who are 100% gluten-free this will take several months to two years) you may be able to slowly add some these items back into your diet after the damaged villi heal. This article may be helpful: The most common nutrient deficiencies associated with celiac disease that may lead to testing for the condition include iron, vitamin D, folate (vitamin B9), vitamin B12, calcium, zinc, and magnesium.  Unfortunately many doctors, including my own doctor at the time, don't do extensive follow up testing for a broad range of nutrient deficiencies, nor recommend that those just diagnosed with celiac disease take a broad spectrum vitamin/mineral supplement, which would greatly benefit most, if not all, newly diagnosed celiacs. Because of this it took me decades to overcome a few long-standing issues I had that were associated with gluten ataxia, for example numbness and tingling in my feet, and muscle knots--especially in my shoulders an neck. Only long term extensive supplementation has helped me to resolve these issues.
