Avatars Suggestion

I was wondering if the powers that be might install some more avatar packs on the board. I've been so foggy lately I forget usernames and with the limited number of avatars available people are using the same ones over and over. I'm finding it very confusing. "Oops, that person with the kitten is a new member and not who I was thinking of!"

I know there will still be overlap unless folks upload something unique, but some people find it difficult to set up pictures for upload and prefer the built-in avatars. Perhaps with more avatars to choose from there might be less overlap? Or maybe everyone will gravitate to the kitten anyway. :lol:

And then there are people like me who like to change them up all the time! :P

You can always get your own pics. That's what I did.

I don't know if this will help...but I hate computers and I totaly understand what your saying...this is what we did!

My son made me a folder saved to my desk top (that way its easy to locate)...I went to google and clicked on IMAGES...then I typed in COUGARS ( its my nickname and user name)...I found a picture I liked..RIGHT CLICKED...and hit COPY....then I went to worddocument ( which I also keep on my desk top (for easy acsess) and RIGHT CLICK...and hit paste....then you go to the far left top of the page and click on FILE..click..SAVE AS..It will then give another window with options where you want to save...on the left of this will be DESK TOP..CLICK...and you will see your new folder...click on that! It will open up and then you tittle the picture..and click save..Your new picture will be in your new folder!

NOW go to celiac forum...log in...go to your profile...go to EDIT PROFILE... go to Avitar picture... it will give you options...one will be to down load a picture from a file on your computer...CLICK...now you can access your desktop folder...and WALA!!!

your in!!!! YEA!!!! :D:D:D

I know this may be a bit over wellming..( I'm not making fun...I'm being serious!)

But if you copy this down first...the just take it real slow...you'll learn a new thing...it will be fun...and you'll feel really good about your self when your done! brain fog is a b%$@#...beleive me I know!!! and its real fustrating learning new things especially when its trouble just following directions...its easy to get confused...been there..done that! thats why your going to try this...at your OWN pace..(after you copy it down)...and its going to make you feel GREAT!!!like I said I HATE COMPUTERS!!! :blink: But I felt so good just acomplishing such a simple little thing...its not as simple when you have trouble concentating like we do...so GO FOR IT...HAVE FUN!!!

I hope this helps!!! :rolleyes::P:D:D

Oh and I didn't have to resize any thing...I guess it did that when I saved it to my folder?!..I don't know but if the first picture doesn't work...try saving a smaller picture! :rolleyes:

THIS IS FOR ANYONE FOLLOWING THIS THREAD WHO NEEDS HELP WITH THIS!

And Skylark I wasn't implying you couldn't do this...obviously you have a unique advitar allready...but I agree not everyone knows how...

this is a tecnical thread...there needed to be some advice...not just critisizm from those who are more computer savy! ;):rolleyes::D

I do agree though...for those that just want to find a suitable pic that fits their personality...without all the hassle...WE NEED MORE AVITARS!!!! THANKYOU!!!

not everyone feels up to searching the net for the perfect pic.let alone going through all the steps to get it in the site just to post it up...its exhausting just thinking about it!Besides its a well known fact that Celiacs get tired easily..distracted and confused...especialy newbies! LOL :lol::blink::D (not to mention spelling errors...did I mention foccus problems!)

      For people with celiac disease and corn intolerance from it: Is salt still okay for most people?

      Gluten Free Beer - The Enzymatic Hydrolyzation Process Problem

      By trents · Posted

      Jason, I have a bone to pick with your terminology. There is "gluten intolerance" which I believe is synonymous with celiac disease and then there is "gluten sensitivity" which comes from Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity or NCGS for short. It is true, however, that there is still a lot of inconsistency in the use of these terms.

      Medicinal mushrooms 🍄

      By Liquid lunch · Posted

      I can’t say this will work for everyone but for me the difference is incredible so might be worth trying. I’ve never been diagnosed celiac but via an elimination diet I realised I can’t eat any lectins, gluten soy and oats are particularly problematic. If I eat them I’m in bed for a week, then heavy bleeding and extreme pain for another, followed by a third week of bleeding on and off. My skin was a mess and it snowed when I brushed my hair. Since taking reishi and cordyceps mushroom tincture I can’t believe the difference, I’ve had a lot of help from this site so I want to return the favour. I took the tincture for my guts but the most apparent effect is that I feel like my brain works again, I can’t begin to describe how wonderful it is to be able to achieve basic things, I’ve barely been able to organise getting out of bed for so long, it feels like I haven’t been hit over the head with a mallet for the first time in years. Then I glutened myself, not necessarily gluten as so many things wipe me out but definitely ate something I shouldn’t have, I took a treble dose of the tincture and almost immediately felt much better so continued with the increased dose and three days (not weeks) later was back to feeling great, no bleeding involved. My skin is better than I can remember it ever being, I feel great 😊. I spend £1.50 a day on these but it’s worth every penny, I hope this helps someone else out there reading this. I wish I’d known about them 20 years ago. best wishes everyone 🍄

      Endoscopy

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Given your history of a high TTG (167) that decreased to 16 on a gluten-free diet, along with genetic confirmation of celiac disease, it’s likely the negative biopsy is a false negative due to not eating gluten before the endoscopy. Gluten is necessary to trigger the intestinal damage seen in celiac disease, and avoiding it can lead to healing and a normal biopsy despite ongoing immune activity (reflected in your still-elevated TTG). The inflammation observed during the endoscopy (“diffuse moderately erythematous mucosa”) could be residual damage, mild ongoing inflammation, or another condition like peptic duodenitis, but it’s consistent with celiac disease in context. Continued positive blood markers suggest ongoing gluten exposure, possibly from cross-contamination or hidden sources. Strict adherence to a gluten-free diet and follow-up testing are key to managing symptoms and reducing inflammation. Discuss these findings with your doctor to confirm the diagnosis and refine your dietary approach. This article has some detailed information on how to be 100% gluten-free, so it may be helpful (be sure to also read the comments section.):

      Yes, it sounds like great progress, but what was the time frame between the two endoscopies?
