As I suffer from food intolerances for many years I noticed that even though there is an allergy forum here could there be room for catering for food intolerances?
Hi Denv,
Thanks for the suggestion.
A lot of the forums have been created by the admin over time, based on the needs of people posting, so certainly some suggestions have resulted in new forums being created. However the admin have also tried to ensure that each forum is somewhat 'generic' and we're not too strict on what people post in them if it's generally related.
As you'll no doubt have noticed, Healthypages has many forums included, so the admin do prefer to avoid creating new ones unless there's a good demand for it. Often we get people saying that there's so many they have trouble finding where to post, and I know admin did some work to try and reduce the number of forums (combining them or creating sub-forums instead etc.)
So, the Allergies forum could be an appropriate place to post about food intolerances.
It would also be acceptable to post about it in the Digestive Disorders forum or even in the General Health forum if you prefer.
Of course, if we get a lot of people saying they specifically need a food intolerance forum e.g. because posts are getting lost amongst all the others in another forum, then admin will take a view on whether it's appropriate to create it. 😉
Hi.
I'll post in the allergy forum.
Thanks.
