In all likelihood, yes. The forum software can automatically resize any photo to the max avatar size (150 pixels by 133 for landscape), but the maximum file size you can upload is 50Kb. The higher the resolution of the photo, the more bytes it takes. If it is a high resolution one, you would have to shrink it to no more than 50Kb before uploading.

You have my email. If you send it I will massage it for you and send it back. :)

The Hell i say Peter...........

If your going to do a massage..........I'll chose not to waste it on my avatar........how about I hobble over and you can massage me. :ph34r:

actually all this lingo lost on me. :lol:

I went to d/s site and pulled a copy/paste and it worked.

but thanks for the kind offer of a massage.......actually chiro just did one so guess i'll skip it for now ;)

Judy--That's an actual picture of Emily and me--Em had the idea of the boob-only pic, so Mark took the picture with that in mind (hee hee, like he usually does, but I digress :lol: ). I cropped it, but could not get it to upload onto the board as my av or even personal pic.

I emailed it to Emily, along with the other pictures from the Summit, and she was able to post it :)

Lisa--congrats on the 20 pounds!! That's quite an accomplishment and you were dead on when describing the sugar ravings ;)<_<:P

...........oh, and dance whenever you can with whomever is willing.........or doesn't put up a hard enough fight! :rolleyes:

This is a common practice of mine, even when I'm not losing weight. I dance while waiting in any and ALL lineups (at the bank, groceries, motor vehicle bureau, doctor's office.....thank gawd my kids don't accompany me to these places - - they would run screaming). :lol:

Oh my gawd. :ph34r:

I've already abashed myself due to my choice of colloquialisms to describe altering a digital photo.

Among mainframe techies, to "massage" data means to manually manipulate it (as opposed to an existing automated process) to get it into the desired form. OMG, "manually manipulate" isn't any better when the topic is a picture of the sort we are discussing. What a boob I must be. :blink:

I should have said that I would alter the characteristics of the photo to reduce the total file size. B)

:lol:

      Hi Trents  Many thanks for the response. My average intake ranges from 3000 - 4000 calories per day. In regards to carbohydrates, the majority of my calories are coming from white rice. I eat around 2000+ calories of white rice per day, so definitely not low in carbohydrates. I was thinking of adding sweet potatoes to the diet. Yes, fats are low, looking into it. I've seen people complain about the same issue in 3-4 threads, but there hasn't been any solution. I was thinking of eating the same diet as stated above and each day, eat small pieces of toast to see, by how many hours my sleep improves.  What makes you think gluten widrawal would subside? Is this insomnia happening because maybe I've been a asymptomatic then symptomatic celiac all my life and the body is "shocked"? There seem to be almost no information on gluten widrawal and insomnia anywhere.

      Welcome to the forum, @SaiP! Have you been officially diagnosed with celiac disease or are you self-diagnosed? What is your average calorie intake per day? Your diet seems to be low in carbohydrates. The only carbohydrate rich food in your list is the white rice. A snack high in simple carbohydrates before retiring for bed at night may help with sleep. Can you do potatoes? Also, tryptophan is reported to help with sleep. Turkey meat is a rich source of tryptophan.  Also, your diet would seem to be low in fats and oils. Apart from the avocado, there is not much in your diet to supply this vital category of nutrient.  Your theory about the connection between gluten withdrawal and insomnia seems reasonable. Especially since you have experimented with it. Gluten withdrawal should subside in a few weeks I would think.

      @sillyyak52 Welcome to the forum! I'm just about to go away for a couple of days but read this and just had to reply.  I am so sorry for what you are going through... it is really tough. Perhaps finding a short video online which explains the seriousness of celiac disease might help.  Just sit your family down and say, "Please just watch this one video with me."    There is one, here for example, on Coeliac UK, which I think is convincing - What is Coeliac Disease? https://www.coeliac.org.uk/healthcare-professionals/resources/videos-for-newly-diagnosed-patients/?&&type=r&set=true#cookie-widget I was watching a TV comedy programme we have in the UK over Christmas called Doc Martin.  If you get this programme where you live, there is a case on the final ever episode (Christmas 2022).  The seriousness of celiac disease is explained in that episode,. Perhaps watching something rather than reading would help?  But if you are after something short to read, I am not sure what country you live in but you might be able to find a coeliac charity that produces pamphlets, or perhaps your GP could let you have something?  Perhaps even better, would you be able to attend the GP surgery with your mother and get your GP to explain the seriousness of not complying with the diet?

      I was diagnosed with celiac disease just over a year ago. I never had any gastrointestinal symptoms before I started eating gluten free, and the diagnosis did come somewhat as a shock. The symptoms that led to my diagnosis were fatigue, and an ongoing Iron and Vitamin D deficiency that worsened even when taking supplements. I visited my GP with these symptoms, which consequently led to a positive celiac blood test and eventually a positive biopsy. Since starting the gluten free diet, I no longer have any deficiencies or unexplained fatigue. When I am glutened now, I experience bloating, severe constipation (that often affects my sleep!) and an onset of fatigue.  My family does not believe that I actually have celiac disease, and thinks that all these symptoms are a 'placebo' effect of being told the 'wrong' diagnosis. Ever since my diagnosis, they have constantly been telling me that I should seek a second opinion. I really don't see the point of getting a second opinion. I trust that the blood test and biopsy were accurate, and the improvement in my blood tests, fatigue and the symptoms I experience now when I now accidentally consume gluten are enough for me. On top of that, if I were to seek a second opinion now, I believe I would need to do a gluten challenge to get an accurate diagnosis, which I am definitely not willing to do just to please my family.  Because they don't believe in my diagnosis, they think that I take the diet 'too seriously'. They are always comparing my celiac disease to my siblings' mild peanut allergy, and it is so exhausting trying to explain it when they just look at me like I am crazy. For example, since my siblings can eat products with 'may contain peanuts' with no issues, they tell me I am ridiculous for avoiding 'may contain gluten' products when possible.  I am also very careful about cross-contact in restaurants, which they will make similar comments about. I have been told are that "I need to stop being so fussy because I live in the real world". Recently, when I did not want to buy my birthday cake from a local bakery that confirmed their gluten free items are not coeliac-safe, my family told me "Well, who cares? They said it's gluten free. What more could you want? Do you need to take them to court to prove it's gluten free so you'll eat it?" It is truly so upsetting that after a year they have made no effort to understand celiac disease, and why I am so strict or 'fussy'. I have thought about giving them information to read, but my mom never ever reads anything. Not even her own emails, and will often make me read things and summarise them for her. She is honestly the one who is most difficult and very obviously still sees my celiac disease as something that I choose to believe.  How do you deal with people close to you who just refuse to understand? Are there any resources anyone could recommend for families that are short and easy to read?

      Hi guys,  I have been reading this forum for quite a while now, so I decided to create an account and post my story.  I've had celiac disease since September 2015 and yet over the years i have still eaten gluten and gradually went from 65kg to 43kg in a 9 year period. I am severely underweight and  and decided to go gluten free. Age - 34, Male  Weight - 94lb - 43 kg (look like a skeleton, ribs showing etc) Height - 170cm Main symptoms - Severe weight loss + severe brain fog Allergies - (all life threatening) - eggs, nuts, peas, lentils, sweetcorn and many antibiotics. I am on a 100% strict gluten free diet (all made at home) i.e. I only eat:  cooked chicken thighs (with salt+pepper) White rice Bananas, apples, avacados  Brocolli, spinach, beetroot Tuna Water After trying this diet for a week I suddenly developed severe insomnia and can barely get 1-2 hours of sleep, however when I start eating gluten again, my sleep is perfect. I have seen other threads on this forum from people experiencing the same thing, and other people recommending e.g. B12, magnesium etc. However, I highly doubt this insomnia is caused by a lack of vitamins+minerals. I am thinking this insomnia is caused by some kind of gluten widrawal. I am now eating small amounts of gluten daily to see whether the insomnia will improve and gradually reduce the amount of gluten, so my body gets used to the sudden change and the insomnia will stop I am fairly confident this approach will work,  but unsure. The main issue is, I am dangerously underweight now, but sleep is much more important, so I am in a conflicted situation. Your thoughts? Thanks!
