Does It Automatically Change The Initials?

Just curious - Why does it automatically put the initials "C D" (but put together) into the words spelled out, "celiac disease"?

Thanks!

There are a number of automatic substitution rules that affect your post. The most common two are gf becoming gluten-free and cd becoming celiac disease. We do this for a couple of reasons.

First, it improves the ability of search engines to find answers here when the terms are spelled out.

Second, it makes life simpler for frequent posters to just type two letters instead of spelling out these common phrases.

Sometimes it is disruptive, such as when a poster wants to refer to the latest compact disc release by a music artist.

If you really want to have the initials displayed, you can do that, as you can see from this post. Click on "Reply" to open a window where you can see how I did it. Then click on "Cancel" so as not to create an empty response.

Interesting! I figured it might have something to do with searches being easier. Just curious, thanks!

      Muscle Twitching

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      Oh, @Yaya! Five years???  How awful for you to suffer so long! My Vitamin D came up in a matter of months.  High dose Vitamin D has been used in the past to correct rickets and is a safe method to correct Vitamin D deficiency.   I took 1000 IU several times a day, every day for several weeks.  I ate them like m&m's when I was severely deficient.  My brain craved them.  I felt so much better afterwards.  On maintenance dose now.  Yes, the craving went away as my level reached 80-95.   Ask your cardiologist about supplementing with.Benfotiamine.

      GLUTEN FREE OCD MEDICATION

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      @CeliacPsycho246, My OCD symptoms resolved after I took supplements of the active form of Pyridoxine B6 called P5P and L-Theanine, an amino acid.   Pyridoxine B6 is absorbed from foods or supplements and then must be changed to its active form.  P5P is the active form.  Inflammation and malabsorption can impede this process.  Taking the active form is beneficial because it is ready to be used immediately.   L-Theanine is a natural amino acid that helps immensely with anxiety.   Together these two supplements really work to relieve OCD. I like Life Extension brand of P5P, but there are others that are labeled gluten free, too.  L-Theanine is found in chocolate, but as much as I love chocolate, Theanine  supplements work better.   Hope you are open to trying these as a stop-gap until your doctor's appointment.  Keep us posted on your results.

      GLUTEN FREE OCD MEDICATION

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      You can search this site for prescriptions medications, but will need to know the manufacturer/maker if there is more than one, especially if you use a generic version of the medication: To see the ingredients you will need to click on the correct version of the medication and maker in the results, then scroll down to "Ingredients and Appearance" and click it, and then look at "Inactive Ingredients," as any gluten ingredients would likely appear there, rather than in the Active Ingredients area. https://dailymed.nlm.nih.gov/dailymed/

      On the cusp of facing a new life of managing a life with Celiac Disease

      Help with results please. As I have a appt after the New Year.

      One positive blood test result means you likely have celiac disease, but to confirm it they may want to do an endoscopy to verify it with biopsies. Unless you have severe symptoms now, you likely should continue eating gluten daily until all testing is completed, and should eat tons of gluten daily in the 2 weeks before an endoscopy.
