When you first start a thread, it's not 'pinned' and it sits at the bottom of the list of threads in that topic. A moderator checks your thread to make sure it's not spam, and that it's in the right forum, and then 'pins' it. Once it's pinned, it moves to the front of the list.

It's surprising how much spam people try to post. Checking every thread seemed to be the way to catch most of it.

If you come across something you think is spam in the middle of a thread, please use the "report" button that is at the bottom left of every post to let the moderators know that it needs to be removed.

Cookies are small files that a website places on your computer. When you return it looks to see if the cookie is there. This is generally how a website knows who you are when you return to it. The pro is that your websurfing can become more tailored to you. The con is that anytime someone else puts stuff on your computer there is a risk. There are more detailed explainations but that is the general idea.

Spam is unwanted messages either via e-mail or postings on a message board. Think of it as the equivalent of junk mail. Obviously some people like it and respond or it would cease to be effective (but as cheap as it is to send an e-mail, there doesn't have to be much of a response).

      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:
