I was locked out since the turn of the new year..I've been trying everything to get back in! But there is no e-mail or # to call if you are unable to log in and the send a new password e.mail doesn't work!I was trying to get a hold of a moderator this morning and got a error on forrum/send a message...I did! well 2 hours later I was still screwing around and got another "password" e-mail...as you can see IT worked! but now I don't know if I activated this from the previous messages or if this was in responce to my last atempt at contacting the admin.!

I need to cancel my request because the problem was fixed but I don't know if admin fixed it or me!

confused...please respond!Also why is there a request to sign in if I'm allready signed in?I'm afraid if I resign in if I'm allready showing in the top corner...I'll mess something up.I'm afraid to sign out now!

I'm here, but there isn't a lot I can offer.

If you go to the "Board Rules/Privacy page by clicking on the link beside "View New Content," there are two links to contact us buried in the Forum Terms & Rules near the bottom, but they are not obvious. That is the only way to send a message here without being signed in.

You could also send an email to info at celiac dot com

This is the first time I have heard of a problem with the password recovery mechanism.

If the email address you registered with is no longer valid, and you have also forgotten your password, then you need an intervention by Scott to change the email address to a valid one.

Thankyou peter...I apreciate your quick responce!I'm not sure what happened..but theres nothing wrong with my e-mail address and my password didn't work...so I tried to get a new one...and THAT didn't work...so I tried it again....and THAT didn't work!

then because I couldn't contact anyone without loging in which was the problem in the first place...I tried to re-register...(under itsme23)...that worked...but no contact e-mail....then by accident I got forum error message! So I sent a message...but I need you to cancel that because on my 4th try using the previous password e-mail...I seemed to have got things working! BUT I don't need/want a message from admin...saying..."there doesn't seem to be any problem...don't bother us/me"!

Does this make any sense?

p.s. if admin had fixed the error, I suspect I would have received some kind of acknowladement/ which I didn't so I believe my request needs to be canceled!

thanks again

also I copied the info you gave me incase this happens again!

This might help in the future. If you use Firefox you can set it to remember passwords. So it will automatically log you in when visiting the site.

Another thing you can do is create a passwords or account or some other folder name and then store all your passwords in a text file there.

Helps when brain fog is in control of the drivers seat for me.

You can call your passwords file anything you want, jelly donuts is fine. As long as you remember where it is to find it when needed. Some people keep a passwords file on a removeable USB drive as backup. You shouldn't oughta set up automatic login on shared computers though, or public computers. Not a good idea. Please deposit 2 cents in Lucy's cup on the way out. :)

I use a program called Open Original Shared Link (which is the X Windows version for those of us that use Linux), and for Win users there's Open Original Shared Link which works great for storing passwords. I just remember the one password, and it's easy to back up the database. Where I used to work I had a Word doc that I password protected to keep my list of passwords. In case that's helpful for future reference.

:lol: :lol: :lol: I have, like, a thousand stickies on the wall near my desk with all my passwords. When I go to a site I haven't been to in a while I have to scan the wall until I find the sticky I need. Your method sounds so much easier. :D

Great Ideas...but remembering the password wasn't the problem! It kept telling me my password was invalad...but it was the same one I allways use! :blink:

So I tried the "I forgot password'...that just told me I was using the correct one but still wouldn't let me in! Then I tried the" get a new password."..3 times (this was friday)...by monday I tried the "this isn't working link ,try this sequence "again....finally got some where....switched my password back to my original, and here I am! I just wanted to make sure I didn't mess anything up with all the enteries and things I did to get there! LOL :D:P:rolleyes:

Seems to be OK now...I've had this problem before...when I originaly regesterd and set everything up...It wouldn't let me in and I had a huge hassle getting back in..took a few days then too!(probably due to my computers security and the fact its a shared computer, I don't know...I really don't understand alot about the workings of these things)!But the important thing is I'm back in!

Go to the forum index page. Down at the bottom you will see "The moderating team". Click on that and then click on Admin's profile,(the first listing) and click on "send me a message" and make your request to Scott.

      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. With the condition my liver is in I am unsure moving back...

      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...

      By trents · Posted

      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.

      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.  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.
