Is the Advanced Search function no longer working? Sometimes I try to find posts by the name of the poster and this method no longer works. Anyone else find this as a problem?

It works for me. Do you have your cookies disabled? Some of the features on this site don't seem to work properly when you have cookies turned off, so that might be what's happening.

The other thing you can do to find posts by a certain member, is to click on the members name in the member list, then it will give you the option of displaying all posts by that member.

That Amish thing won't work on me, I know a few who can handle a computer better than I can. :P

As far as disabling or enabling your cookie function, most of the computers i have worked with are different so my instuctions might be wrong for you. But it's usually in your computers system setup, then you have to look for something dealing with your security settings and from there you might be able to find out whats up with your cookies.

My foolproof suggestion, however, is to call the 1-800 service number for your compter manufacturer. They can walk you through it while your on the phone with them, and they can gear their instructions to your exact computer model.

Hope this helps a little.

Thanks, but I am still Amish. I wouldn't know how to do the salad bowl thing you have going. It amazes me. I don't have enough spare time to figure these things out or when I learn them by the time I need to use it again, I have forgotten or lost my notes on it.

Don't feel bad, I'm not sure how I did the salad bowl thing either... dumb luck I guess. Re: the Amish comment, I wasn't making fun, I really do know a few who could run computer circles around me :P . But I still recommend calling yor computer manufacturer to figure out the cookie thing. Most computer companies put a sticker on the back side of your hard drive that will have the number listed on it. Or you could do a google search to find the companies technical support number.

Good luck! :D

With much weeping and gnashing of teeth I think I did the cookie thing correctly.

Thanks for your help. Do you live around the Amish? I didn't realize that they got involved in computers....good for them! I guess I can't use the Amish line anymore.....

I don't live around any Amish communities, but when I am not teaching, I am a full time student myself. And there is a small group Amish students who use the computer lab on occasion, but your right, I don't think it's a common thing for the Amish community to be high tech, but I don't really know. I had always thought there were religious rules involved, but these students don't seem to affected by them regarding computers. The only other Amish folks I know are builders and craftsmen, and they sell the most amazing furniture, masterfully crafted and absolutly beautiful.

Anyway, if you figured out the cooike thing, did it help with your search function? Is it working any better now?

I fixed the cookie thing, but I am still overwhelmed by technology.

      High blood test numbers - with scales. Any advice?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      I agree with @RMJ, you have multiple positive tests so celiac disease is likely.  This article might be helpful. It breaks down each type of test, and what a positive results means in terms of the probability that you might have celiac disease.

      Newly gluten free… withdrawal?

      By trents · Posted

      One small study found that 50% of celiacs react to the dairy protein "casein" like they do to gluten. It is also common for celiacs to be lactose (the sugar in milk) intolerant, though that often disappears in time as the villi heal. About 10% of celiacs react to the oat protein "avenin" like they do gluten.

      Newly gluten free… withdrawal?

      By K6315 · Posted

      Thank you so much Trents (Scott?)! I have started working with a dietitian and did a deep research dive as soon as I got the diagnosis. I am aware of what you mentioned in the first two paragraphs, and was not aware of anything in the third, so I am grateful for that information, and will talk to the dietitian about that. I think I was most interested in the withdrawal process - it gives me hope that, although I have felt unwell recently, I just need to be patient (not a strong suit). I have printed the article you sent and will look at it more closely. Thanks again!

      Newly gluten free… withdrawal?

      By trents · Posted

      Welcome to the forum, @K6315! Gluten withdrawal typically lasts for a period of a few weeks. But there is a real learning curve involved in actually attaining to a gluten free dietary state. Much more is involved than just cutting out major sources of gluten such as bread and pasta. It's all the places that gluten is hidden in the food supply that is difficult to ferret out, like soy sauce and canned tomato soup, canned chili and canned pork n' beans, some "lite" pancake syrups, potato salad, flavorings, etc., etc. Gluten-containing grain products are hidden through alternate terminology and found in places you would never expect.  There is also "cross contamination" where naturally gluten free foods come into contact with gluten-containing grains during farming, transportation, storage and manufacturing processes. Then there is the issue of "cross reactivity" whereby you may be having gluten-like reaction to food proteins whose structure is similar to gluten. Chief among these are dairy, oats (even gluten-free oats), soy, corn and eggs. I am including this article that you might find helpful:
