Maybe it only works in the Northern Hemisphere. Could it be affected by seismic disruptions?

I replied before I saw there was a whole other page full of magical pictures. I do have that blogs part then it let's you start a new blog if you agree to the term, conditions, mail a box of homemade gluten-free treats to Scott, etc.

This is an old notebook (ThinkPad T43 running XP SP2). If the line is too long, it will wrap around to the next line. If you have shiny new hardware with a wide screen, maybe you should look to the right instead of the left. :o

Hey! Yay! I have a blog. I tried linking to my external blog and it seems to just create a link rather than showing posts. I haven't done a new post on my external blog yet, so we'll see if it shows up here as well next time. If not, I'll just create a local blog. Cool. Thanks.

For me it's next to the Calendar, too. Wonder if it depends on screen resolution. ???

Hm. So new posts from my linked blog don't show up. I started trying to make a local blog but it doesn't let me copy-paste in html. I tried using the "Other Styles" drop down menu, which inserted a 

 at the beginning and

at the end, but it still just put my html in the post as typed (and not wrapping) like a pre tag would actual html. Is there any way to be able to put in html so I don't have to re-write all my posts with this annoying wysiwyg editor?

cute. So when I tried to show what it did, it used the tag. sigh. I hate these stupid editors.

Tags from HTML which use < and > as delimeters do not work here.

Open Original Shared Link do generally work.

Ugh. Does anyone have a handy script to change html to bbcode?

I bet no iframes or links to amazon or floating images work on the blog either, eh? Maybe it's too much trouble.

Links to the site named after the largest river in South America can not be posted here. You get (Company Name Removed - They Spammed This Forum and are Banned) if you try to post their url.

OK, so now I've added a bunch of posts, and I tried to add another one. After the tedious process of changing everything to bbcode it is now telling me I've posted too many images. It doesn't say if that's a total in my blog or just per post. I can't find the place where it tells me how many are allowed. The pictures are documenting a step by step process, so it's kind of annoying to have to remove them. Grrr.

Joy, the limit is on images in a single post. I don't know exactly what it is. You can post clickable links to images with no limit that I know of. If you are posting on the board you can break the post up into two or more posts. I don't know about the blogs.

Oh wow, domesticactivist. You're a real blogger! That borscht recipe looks awesome. I just wanted a spot to store some forum posts that took a while to type. :lol:

Oh, nice. If you want to keep track of a good blog, there is a "like" button on it. Then you can get to it from the little drop-down menu you get when you click your name as "My Liked Content".

Thank you! I must admit I have help with the blog! My partner, Kelsy, does most of the cooking and wrote most of the food posts that are up so far. I have written a bunch but have yet to convert them to bbcode :) if you look on the original blog you can see which of us wrote them.

I hadn't realized how popular the blogs here are - I hadn't looked at them at all until yesterday. It's a whole new world!

OK, my blog is all caught up with the original one, now. You can see it at The Liberated Kitchen, Redux. Thanks for all your help! Now we'll see if I can keep it updated ;)

Shoot. So I misunderstood this thread and thought links to my site from a BLOG post would be ok. I pasted all my blogs in from my editor on my (wordpress) site and tediously changed it all to bbcode and removed every link and picture from amazon, and now I'm in big trouble because most of my posts has links to other posts from my blog (like they do on the real site). I now have to go in there and figure out what the new link to the blog here would be, and then change them all. This is really, really annoying. Hope my little rant saves someone else the trouble. Grrrrrrr. Almost in tears. Sigh. Why do I even bother.

Do you all think I'm some annoying spammer? I'm not just pretending to be a celiac mommy so I can sell stuff. Geesh.

And my post about my facebook page was removed, which I find weird, because this site has the facebook feature built in. WTF.

Sorry. :( We're trying to figure out what would be the most reasonable way to do this without allowing loopholes that would let people run their business from this site. Just hang on a bit longer, OK? We are trying to come up with a fair plan.

That makes sense. I'm sorry I got bent out of shape. I can prevent backlinks from new posts on the blog. Going back and fixing the old ones is just daunting.

Do you do any scripting? It wouldn't be very difficult to write a perl script with some regular expressions that strips out the back links. Also there are a LOT of perl scrips kicking around the web that convert HTML to BBcode and back that you might find handy.

      Thank you for the response and article. I was placed on the Mediterranean diet and been on that now for about 3 weeks. While not gluten free I am eating very little bread or anything with gluten ie a slice of whole wheat bread every couple days so assume that would cause issues now with a biopsy.

      Welcome to the forum, @MI-Hoosier! You are operating on a misconception about your "mixed" test results. You only had two celiac disease diagnostic tests run out of six that could have been ordered if your doctor had opted for a complete celiac panel. It is perfectly normal to not test positive for all possible celiac disease diagnostic tests. That is...

      Hi, I was recently diagnosed with stage 3 NASH and doctor is concerned something is caused my disease to progress quicker than they would expect. During blood tests a celiac screen was pulled as my mom is a celiac. My ttg was a 49.4 (normal >15) but my endomysial antibody was negative. I have never had gluten symptoms and no issues with bread and am...

      To put this in perspective, most recent pretest "gluten challenge" guidelines for those having already been eating reduced gluten or gluten free for a significant time period is the daily consumption of 10g of gluten (about the amount in 4-6 slices of wheat bread) for a minimum of two weeks leading up to the day of testing (antibody or biopsy). And I would certainly give it more than two weeks to ensure a valid test experience. Short answer: If it were me, yes, I would assume I have celiac disease and launch full bore into gluten-free eating. I think the tTG-IGA is reliable enough and your score is solid enough to make that a reasonable conclusion. Here is an article to help you get off to a good start. It's easy to achieve a reduced gluten free state but much more difficult to achieve consistency in truly gluten-free eating. Gluten is hidden in so many ways and found in so many food products where you would never expect to find it. For example, soy sauce and canned tomato soup (most canned soups, actually), pills, medications, health supplements. It can be disguised in terminology. And then there is the whole issue of cross contamination where foods that are naturally gluten free become contaminated with gluten incidentally in agricultural activities and manufacturing processes: Eating out at restaurants is a mine field for those with celiac disease because you don't know how food is handled back in the kitchen. Gluten free noodles boiled in the same water that was used for wheat noodles, eggs cooked on the same griddle that French toast was, etc.

While not gluten free I am eating very little bread or anything with gluten ie a slice of whole wheat bread every couple days so assume that would cause issues now with a biopsy.  With the condition my liver is in I am unsure moving back to higher bread consumption is ideal.  In this scenario would my test results be enough to assume positive Celiac and just move forward gluten free?

      Welcome to the forum, @MI-Hoosier! You are operating on a misconception about your "mixed" test results. You only had two celiac disease diagnostic tests run out of six that could have been ordered if your doctor had opted for a complete celiac panel. It is perfectly normal to not test positive for all possible celiac disease diagnostic tests. That is why there is more than one test option. It is the same way with other diagnostic testing procedures for many or most other diseases. Generally, when diagnosing a condition, a number of different tests are run and a diagnosis is arrived at by looking at the total body of evidence. The tTG-IGA test is the centerpiece of celiac disease blood antibody testing and the one most commonly ordered by doctors. You were strongly positive for that test. It was not an unequivocal result, IMO.  Having said that, it is standard procedure to confirm a positive celiac disease blood antibody test result with an endoscopy/biopsy which is still considered the gold standard of celiac disease diagnosis. Had your tTG-IGA been 150 or greater, your doctor many have opted out of the endoscopy/biopsy. The absence of GI distress in the celiac disease population is very common. We call them "silent celiacs". That can change as damage to the lining of the small bowel worsens. Elevated liver enzymes/liver stress is very common in the celiac population. About 18% of celiacs experience it. I was one of them. Persistently elevated liver enzymes over a period of years in the absence of other typical causes such as hepatitis and alcohol abuse was what eventually led to my celiac disease diagnosis. But it took thirteen years to get that figured out. Within three months of going gluten free my liver enzymes were back into normal range. Thank goodness, there is more awareness these days about the many long fingers of celiac disease that are not found in the classic category of GI distress. Today, there have been over 200 symptoms/medical conditions identified as connected to celiac disease. It is critical that you not begin a gluten free diet until your endoscopy/biopsy of the small bowel is over. Doing so before that procedure will invalidate it because it will allow healing of the small bowel lining to begin. Here is a link to an article covering celiac disease blood antibody testing:

My ttg was a 49.4 (normal >15) but my endomysial antibody was negative. I have never had gluten symptoms and no issues with bread and am 54. Do I need a biopsy to rule celiac in or out with this mixed test? Any thoughts are appreciated.
