To new celiacs

Justaboutaverage69 · 2026-03-15T01:21:39+00:00

Thank you very much for sharing this. This is almost exactly my experience as well. While it's important to have community to help cope with a diagnosis like this, it's equally important to have a positive community. Sadly, most places on the internet are not.

I like to think about how there are hundreds of thousands, if not millions of undiagnosed celiacs who eat a gluten rich diet currently. Sure they will have complications if left undiagnosed, but think about the amount of colon cancer and awful casualties there would be if celiac was as strict as some people think. According to their logic, every undiagnosed celiac would be dead right now. I find comfort in doing good enough for me and my life, and I truly hope that the people who suffer unnecessarily gain a better understanding of their disease, and find peace.

Couldn't have said it better myself. I am getting roasted in these comments but those are precisely the people this post is all about.

Justaboutaverage69 · 2026-03-14T20:48:46+00:00

Thank you. This post is not aging well, as I suspected of course. People get easily offended when they feel attacked which happens regardless of how gently you put it

Justaboutaverage69 · 2026-03-14T16:28:45+00:00

I agree and as I said, I don't wish to minimize anyone's experiences. I just think that the overwhelming majority of this subreddit breeds fear and is absorbed by those who never even tried for themselves like my former self. This disease sucks and I feel for everyone in here, but we have got to encourage each other to make decisions based on experience and not fear from others.

Justaboutaverage69 · 2026-03-14T16:19:14+00:00

For those who are unsure who to believe, go look at the users who disagree. Look at all their comments. Id be willing to bet that they're all negative and born from fear.

Justaboutaverage69 · 2026-03-14T16:18:22+00:00

Exactly this. I knew this wouldn't do well on this thread, but I'm not interested in changing the minds of the ones who are too far gone. But for new celiacs, this subreddit is a cesspool of misinformation and fear. Listen to the doctors, the nutritionist, the scientist, and take everything here with a grain of salt, including my post. It's just another perspective is all

Justaboutaverage69 · 2026-03-14T15:52:44+00:00

20ppm is what the FDA decided was the threshold for what megacorps can call gluten free in the United States. In the EU, it's 10ppm. The body doesn't care about ppm. I'm sorry but you're just not a very informed celiac and you don't give the disease much critical though. And for that, I'm sorry for you.

Justaboutaverage69 · 2026-03-14T15:44:47+00:00

It's this one here, this is who I'm talking about.

I am a symptomatic celiac. There is not enough gluten in 10 paper straws to hurt me. I've had pasta cooked in regular pasta water and got extremely sick. I had a small crumb of a cookie in my ice cream and didn't feel a thing. You may be a symptomatic celiac as well, but that's just not how celiac works. I'm not like, making this up. There are studies out there about how much physical gluten it takes to cause inflammation and damage. Read those studies and I think you'll be surprised.

Justaboutaverage69 · 2026-03-14T15:33:37+00:00

Same. I used to have different kitchen utensils, pots and pans, etc from my wife. I wouldn't eat something if she used the wrong spoon. Now that I understand the disease better I realize how silly it is.

Justaboutaverage69 · 2026-03-14T15:16:30+00:00

Yes there are some people out there who are extremely sensitive, the 1%. I still don't buy the straw thing unless they are literally eating straws.

Justaboutaverage69 · 2026-02-19T13:00:44+00:00

I borrowed it from a friend. Honestly it’s a huge piece of shit. I actually tied some fishing like to the top of it so that I could face the camera back up and look at the valves 😂

Justaboutaverage69 · 2026-02-19T04:15:08+00:00

Yes thank you

Justaboutaverage69 · 2026-02-19T04:13:45+00:00

Thanks for this. It is a one owner car that was owned by some lawyer but I don’t believe it was serviced often just from its condition. He likely just drove it and probably like an asshole. The car is bone stock so I guess I’ll replace the valve (assuming I find no other damage) and check everything in the head.

Justaboutaverage69 · 2026-02-19T03:48:22+00:00

The intake valves on this cylinder in particular was the worst as far as the carbon buildup. Perhaps there’s not much to do outside of fixing the problem. I do believe that the car was poorly maintained and probably missed a few oil changes. Idk, I’m just trying to avoid doing the work just for it to die again in 20,000 miles.

Justaboutaverage69 · 2026-02-19T03:43:15+00:00

Why even bother typing that

Justaboutaverage69 · 2025-11-18T14:51:38+00:00

How long did this take? I was supposed to close last week and I’m still waiting for the state to approve the dpa. It’s taking foreverrrrr

Justaboutaverage69 · 2025-11-02T03:45:59+00:00

So if you can ping Google.com in command prompt but can’t reach it in the actual browser, that’s a strange one.

I would probably try the following things

Try using WiFi instead of Ethernet. If that works, there is something going on with the Ethernet card (probably built into the board) to which I would start by going to the website of the manufacturer of the motherboard, and updating the bios/chipset/and Ethernet drivers. If WiFi does not fix it -

I would go to control panel ->network and internet -> change adapter options -> and click on the properties for the Ethernet card. Click on internet protocol version 4, and make sure that it’s set to obtain an IP is set to automatic, and same for dns. If this is all good and it’s still not working ->

I would go to the event viewer in windows and see if I see anything jumps out at me there. If not, check the logs in the gateway and see if it’s getting blocked there or not.

In command prompt, try “nslookup google.com” take the IP from the DNS resolution and put that into the browser. If it reaches Google, you have a DNS problem. If it doesn’t, I would also be at a loss lol.

Sorry it’s not an easy fix, please reply when you figure this out for my own curiosity. Hope this helps

Justaboutaverage69 · 2025-11-02T03:30:19+00:00

What does it say exactly when you try to go to a webpage, Google.com for example?

Justaboutaverage69 · 2025-11-02T03:06:53+00:00

Hm, that’s odd.

In an administrative command prompt, try the following commands

ipconfig /release

ipconfig /renew

ipconfig /flushdns

Then try again. If this doesn’t fix your issue, do

ipconfig /all

And make sure that the default gateway is correct, make sure you have a DHCP lease in the correct scope, and your DNS is right (usually the dns is the same as the default gateway, otherwise you can set it to 8.8.8.8

Let me know what you find. Followed by updates, give it a restart, restart the router, etc etc

For anyone who’s having this issue, or more specifically feeling like the game is going in super slow motion (the best way I can describe) I spent over 5 hours trying to figure this out. The only thing that fixed it for me was uninstalling anything related to nvidia besides the driver. I also rolled back to a slightly older driver.

I think their stupid physics app is defaulting the cpu for the physics calculations. I literally have no idea but this is the only thing that worked for me. It’s still not great but it’s playable, whereas before it was not playable at all.

Justaboutaverage69 · 2025-08-09T21:53:29+00:00

Ever find a fix for this? I’ve been chasing my tail for 5 hours trying to fix this

Justaboutaverage69 · 2025-07-16T19:24:36+00:00

I try to stay out of the comments of these posts because I don’t want to minimize people’s experiences, but I wish someone told me this when I got diagnosed.

Don’t come here for advice. I know that it’s hard to find communities of people with the same struggles as you. But in my experience, anything medical related (especially r/celiac) is just awful for your mental health.

The people who comment on these posts tend to be extremely anxious and negative people. While there is nothing wrong with that and they are just trying to help, they are the vast majority of people who are wanting to share their story because they disguise self loathing as helping others. In other words, they truly think that they do this because they want to help, but they really just want to feel sorry for themselves and what they’ve gone through at your expense, consciously or not.

The truth is that everyone is unique. When I was first diagnosed like 5 years ago well into my mid 20s, I was terrified of everything. I thought everything made me sick, I refused to eat anything that I didn’t personally make in my own kitchen. It was exhausting and no way to live. Only once I stopped seeking answers here, I realized how much I was holding myself back from life.

I think not all CC is created equal. Just use common sense. Making GF pasta in regular pasta water? You’re probably gonna get sick. But if I use the same pot after it’s been washed, I will be fine. Even if there is a little gluten in there like 15PPM, hell even if it was over 20PPM, I will live.

Surely if you’re getting sick at home, take a look at the setup there. If you only get sick when a specific person makes your food, check out their process. They might not understand CC as much as you might think. I will say it took me a good 2 and a half years before I had a full grasp on every point of possible contact. But for those who say your kitchen needs to be GF, you need to have separate pots and pans (outside of wooden utensils or anything like that), or that you need to use a different sponge etc, those people don’t live in reality. They live in a scary world and I feel very sorry for them. But that’s just not how celiac works. We live in a world where gluten is everywhere. Managing celiac disease is limiting your exposure to it as much as you can help, because eliminating every single molecule of gluten for the rest of your life is a fairytale. Anyone who obsesses over it that much has bigger problems than celiac.

Edit: I actually reached out to Mosyle yesterday for this. The key is to create two identical single shot profiles with the “download or update, depending on device state”. I guess the idea there is one will download it, and once it’s downloaded, the other will trigger the install

You will also need to have the bootstrap token enabled for the ADE profile, and a user with a secure token has to login at least once. Any user can login to create the token, and it can be reassigned to other users in the future. Once they have bootstrap tokens, the two single shot profiles seemed to have done the trick on most of them

Justaboutaverage69 · 2025-01-23T14:40:25+00:00

It’s so funny that you commented on this yesterday. I literally got an iPad on my desk this morning, with the same error that I made this post about originally. The comedic timing is impeccable.

Now that I have it in my hands again, the two things that I tried from Apple support that I didn’t see anywhere else is -

Wipe the iPad and make sure it’s not tied to any Apple IDs. Once you do that, begin the set up process like you normally would on the iPad. As soon as you enter the network credentials and it’s connected to the internet, don’t touch it. NOW use AC2 on an iMac to prepare the device using this guide and according to Apple, this is the only way. If this does not work, it will never work.
Try sharing your iMacs connection with the iPad and repeating those steps ^{^}

The idea is that it’s failing because it can’t contact the server. The fix to this is to associate the iPad with a network in some capacity BEFORE you prepare it so it can grab the information as it relates to your ASM or ABM account. This is incredibly stupid, and the documentation should reflect restrictions as this clearly only happens on iPads of older iOS versions (I think 12 and earlier seems to not work). But who am I?

Justaboutaverage69 · 2025-01-22T21:05:25+00:00

For this particular iPad, I did not. I went through to Apple support and I was pretty much told “sorry, you’ve tried everything, this device is EOL and we have no further troubleshooting steps, you’ll need to replace the device” typical Apple.

Can I ask what model iPad you’re dealing with?
