Pssshhh!!! Just sayin' and I hear that Google and others might boycott as well. It's a bit of a news event when things go dark. It's rather news worthy when the internet protests for the first time.

JUST SAYIN' :rolleyes:

Uhm... spppp..... YES I think some people will notice. At least the hundreds of editors who constantly go thru every_fricking_article and leave comments on the "Talk" editing pages on why they thought they had to revise a perfectly good article so it contains less information. <_<

Then there is my favorite "please cite your reference sources" never occurs to Ms/Mr Editing Expert that the info may be original source.

I swear some of them may be needing a therapy session over this. They won't have anything to do Wednesday pm. :blink:

LMAO !! Just checked the local news paper and the lead article is "Wikipedia Editors question site's planned Blackout." I knew it !

Google too? Well that's a whole different matter! A bunch of teachers may have to change their lesson plans if all the search engines join in.

I have mixed feelings about that. While I have some empathy for those who would disallow it as a source, those people are being rather shallow in their thinking. Would those teachers allow a reference to Encyclopedia Britannica? Each is a compendium of material gathered from other sources. Most Wikipedia articles are supported by links to other sources. It is a quick way to find them. Google is another way to find information about a topic. Dead tree printed material is the medium of the twentieth century. That was yesterday. OK, end of rant.

Google has a black rectangle over the Google logo. You know, one of those ones the TV sometimes put over naked pics of some celebrity to cover the whole point of the story. :D

I think we're missing the bigger picture here. These sites/organizations are protesting to maintain the freedom of the internet.

Think about this . . . on this forum, we often talk about self-diagnosed medical conditions. What happens if some bureaucrat decides it's unsafe? That we are disseminating unapproved information that is unsanctioned by the modern medical establishment? Censorship is a slippery slope.

Thanks for posting about this!

      Is Caputo gluten free flour really free of gluten?

      Celiac symptoms

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      I agree with @trents, and the rash you described, especially its location and resistance to steroids, sounds highly characteristic of dermatitis herpetiformis, which is the skin manifestation of celiac disease. The severe and prolonged reaction you're describing five days after a small exposure is, while extreme, not unheard of for those with a high sensitivity; the systemic inflammatory response can absolutely last for several days or even weeks, explaining why you still don't feel right. Your plan to avoid a formal gluten challenge is completely understandable given the severity of your reactions, and many choose the same path for their well-being. While experiences with GliadinX (they are a sponsor here) are mixed, some people do report a reduction in the severity of their symptoms when taken with accidental gluten, though it is crucial to remember it is not a cure or a license to eat gluten and its effectiveness can vary from person to person. For now, the absolute best advice is to continue being hyper-vigilant about cross-contamination—buffets are notoriously high-risk, even with good intentions. Connecting with a gastroenterologist and a dermatologist who specialize in celiac disease is essential for navigating diagnosis and management moving forward. Wishing you a swift recovery from this last exposure. 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:

      Kan-101

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      So just to be cautious, there is a big difference between cured, and responding to their medication. I assume you mean that your daughter responded well while taking KAN-101 during the trial, but the drug would not cure celiac disease, but may manage it while you are taking it. Let me know if I got this right.

      Is Caputo gluten free flour really free of gluten?

      By trents · Posted

      Welcome to the forum, @Godfather! "Gluten-free" is not the same as zero gluten. The FDA standard for allowing the food industry to us the gluten-free label on a product is that it cannot exceed 20 ppm of gluten. That is safe for most celiacs but not for the subset of celiacs/gltuen sensitive people who are super sensitive. "Gluten-free" wheat starch products have been processed in such a way to remove enough of the protein gluten to comply with the FDA regulation but usually do retain some gluten and we usually get reports from some people on this forum who fall in the more sensitive range that such products cause them to react. Hope this helps. So, you may just have to experiment for yourself.

      Celiac symptoms

      By trents · Posted

      Welcome to the forum, @Dana0207! Another diagnostic approach would be to get biopsied for dermatitis herpetiformis which would not require an extensive exposure to gluten. But it would need to be done during an active outbreak of the rash. Celiac disease is the only known cause for dermatitis herpetiformis so it would be a definitive diagnosis. It might be tricky, however, to time the dermatology appointment with the gluten exposure and outbreak.
