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 :) )

People who post about a predicament and we all get concerned and sucked in. We give suggestions and worry. They never come back and tell us how it went.

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)

      Hi Leenora, thanks so much for sharing your journey. Yes, I am based in Ireland and I think the primary care docs should know better here. Like yourself my IGA was undetectable. I do not have any major GI symptoms as a result my doc would only order total IGA as the next step and not IGG - so frustrating. I am ready to start a gluten free diet which will...

      Dermatitis Herpetiformis

      I would not be surprised if that is the case. I briefly took doxycycline and it cleared up but I also stopped eating oats at the same time so hard to say what did it. And I understand doxy is nasty stuff. I had to take it with yogurt because it messed up my stomach so badly.

      Dermatitis Herpetiformis

      I would hesitate to recommend tetracycline or any antibiotic as a long term therapy option because of the negative impact it has on the gut biome. I took it for years as a teenager for acne and I'm convinced it was a contributing factor in my having developed celiac disease.

      Multiple symptoms and mixed provider responses

      By DJBC · Posted

      So I’ve had horrible stomach problems for as long as I can remember. Diarrhea is usually every other day at least, sometimes worse, sometimes a little better. It can happen within 5 minutes of finishing eating most things. I’m also constantly tired, I haven’t gained a pound since I was 18 (I’m 26), my memory is trash, and the thing that really made me wonder was an absolutely massive rash I got around an hour after eating biscuits and gravy. The only thing is it wasn’t on both sides of my body, it was only on the left side of my torso, but it took up about half of my whole side and had an insane amount of inflammation the second day, and the third day all the fluid fell with gravity to my lower stomach and back. The rash was not patchy but one massive dark red spot, itchy, and painful. I got the IgA test and the normal range was 61-356, and my result was 336. This was a while ago and all the notes said was “good news, no celiac”. I have the HLA-DQ tests coming up, so we’ll see. Does this sound like possible celiac or am I blowing this out of proportion?

      Hi Leenora, thanks so much for sharing your journey. Yes, I am based in Ireland and I think the primary care docs should know better here. Like yourself my IGA was undetectable.  I do not have any major GI symptoms as a result my doc would only order total IGA as the next step and not IGG - so frustrating. I am ready to start a gluten free diet which will hopefully help with nutrient absorption and ultimately overall health. As someone who has already gone through a breast cancer journey I would like to be assured that my immune system is working optimally. My big concern is around Alzheimers as my Mom was diagnosed with Meniers at my age and developed memory decline in her mid 70s. She has an Alzheimer's diagnosis but her neurologist thinks it is more short term memory loss. Since neurological health is a concern of mine I have ordered the B vitamins recommended by kitty kitty on this thread. I have upped my VitD supplements and haven't had a vertigo attack in 2 weeks. I agree with your observation that these things are all connected - they likely are very much connected with gut health. I am also planning on ordering germline genetic testing to check my pre-dispositions.
