Newbie Vs. Advanced

I just joined and it says "Newbie" on my postings.

How long do I have to have to be categorized as this? It kind of turns me off, and makes me reluctant to post since it makes one sound like a dummy, and an "advanced" member somebody worth listening to.

Thank you.

P.S. I know that everybody probably starts out as a "newbie".

This is pretty standard for message boards all over the Internet. For ours once you make 10 posts it will switch from "Newbie" to "Member," and after 30 posts it will switch to "Advanced Member."

Take care,

Scott :)

Don't worry about the advanced/newbie/member thing...it isn't really the # of posts that builds a reputation, but the quality. And the numbers are very low for it to change--on some boards it might be...50 to no longer be a newbie, then regular member till...500 or something, then advanced member, then something crazy like SUPER MEMBER at 1000 and then...you live on this board at 5000....lol. Post a few times and you'll be a member ;)

Also, newbie doesn't refer to your knowledge of celiac, but your status on this message board. Even if you've been on the gluten-free diet for 20 years, you're a newbie when you first come onto the board.

I find it useful to guage how well a person knows the board - and that's mostly the only thing I use it for. (Of course, a long-time lurker may pop up as a newbie if he/she starts posting, but have been around the board for months, so it's not always even useful for that!) You'll shake that automatically generated label in no time. ;-) :-D

I am a real newbie, regardless of the label under my name. I could post to a bunch of threads and that would not really increase my knowledge of Celiac and how to live with it. All the READING I have been doing for several months has helped a bit though.

I am not going to put a lot of importance on the number of posts alone, I will see if what a person is saying makes sense and base my response on that. Some of the many recipes look wonderful and others sound like food I would not like. That is my personal taste though and we are all different. I hope someday to be able to add a few of my own created recipes that others will enjoy making and eating. :)

I would be very surprised if such a restriction were imposed. To go step by step again and try to help you find it:

- Click on "My Controls" (to the left of view new posts).

- Click on "Edit Profile Information" (in the list on the left).

- Scroll down below the required information.

- Under the heading "personal profile" the FIRST box should say "Custom member title" (it is the first one under the heading and is directly above the date of birth box. Fill that in with whatever title you want and then be sure to save those changes or amend profile, or whatever it says as the save thing.

Okay I looked exactly where you said - and I have no such box. The birth date is the first profile info on my profile page - i do not have a customer member title box. i guess i will have to contact the board.

Yes... just wanted to make sure you didn't have it. Maybe only regular/advanced members?

      Daughter recently diagnosed with Celiac and I am questioning my results...

      By Beverage · Posted

      As Scott suggests, look into dermatitis herpetiformis. Also the rash there could be from SIBO small intestinal bacterial overgrowth or candida. If your regular doc won't investigate those possibilities, consider going to a naturopathic doc or integrative medicine doc.

      The forms of vitamins really mattered for me, maybe not for everyone but very much for me. Learned so much here. This b12, recommended by @Ennis-TX has really helped me since diagnose.  I can tell when i run out that i don't feel as good. LIQUIDHEALTH Vitamin B12 Methylcobalamin Liquid Drops with Sublingual Hydroxocobalamin - Boost Energy, Support Immune System, Improve Memory & Concentration - Vegan, Sugar Free, Non-GMO (2 Pack) https://a.co/d/c3cxXt7   i also had RLS, one of my few noticeable symptoms before diagnosis. It rears up when I slack off the supplements or drink wine. I found 2 of these a day keeps it at bay, get it very rarely now: Limited-time deal: ANDREW LESSMAN Circulation & Vein Support for Healthy Legs 60 Capsules - High Bioactivity Diosmin, Butcher's Broom, Visibly Reduces Swelling & Discomfort in Feet, Ankles, Calves, Legs https://a.co/d/7int9i9   I also take the procapslabs.com b complex, it has the methyl forms, which makes a difference for me: ANDREW LESSMAN High Potency B-Complex 180 Capsules - with High Levels of Folate Complex & Biotin, Promotes Cellular Growth, Energy, Immune Function, Detoxification, Fat Metabolism & More https://a.co/d/4fkAmFx   I also take extra thiamine, in form benfotiamine, as recommended by @knitty kitty which tremendously helped asthma.

      Toddler Diagnosis?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Your son has two positive blood tests for celiac disease, plus a positive biopsy for it...why hasn't your doctor diagnosed him with celiac disease, which is the most likely diagnosis based on the test results you shared? The next step should be a gluten-free diet, which your doctor already recommended.
