Thank you for the good idea. What exactly is a hyperlink, and how do you do it?

When you hit 'reply', you'll see a few icons above the edit window where you enter your response. There's the button for "bold", "italics", "underscore", "strikeout", "font color", and then "hyperlink". The macro for hyperlink pops up a user window, when you click on it, that asks you to enter the address, or URL, then the text you want to have that link.

So, for instance, if you wanted to put a link to google in your reply, you'd click that button, enter the url (I usually cut and paste from another window, but in this case it's simple: http://wwww.google.com) at the first prompt, then enter "google" in the second prompt. When you click "ok", it will enter the code for the hyperlink in your entry. (alternatively, you could enter this code yourself, when you get used to using it.)

in this case, of linking to your own post, you'd need to write the other post first, so you have a URL you can copy and link to, and then put it wherever you want to reference.

The video appears fine on my Firefox browser, but it's cropped on IE7 (microsoft really messed things up with this upgrade). I wrote a message to the webmaster to see if there's anything they can do about it.

Regarding Video Issues....

Ok, I can view the video fine. Nini can view it fine. Anyone else? And if anyone else is successful, what browser and version are you using? I use Firefox and know for a fact that Nini does, too. She and I viewed the video fine. I tried to open it in Internet Explorer to answer questions in a pm I was sent, and guess what....In IE I get the little talking mouth video, too :lol:

I've posted directions for downloading the free Firefox browser here.

We can continue discussion of video/browser issues there.

LATER.....

Haha! Gamecreature posted while I was composing this. Yep, he's right, but it's not just a problem with IE7, although that answers my question. I wondered if the problem continued in IE7. It does. :blink:

Celiac Central may be able to correct this. But I suspect they don't typically embed video, so they may or may not invest time in making it work. I hope they don't remove the links!

I am taking a web design course at my local community college, and my instructor told us last Wednesday that IE7 is terrible, and the college has told everybody that they're not allowed to download it, because it would mess up a lot of stuff. Just in the nick of time, because when I got home, there was my little upgrade icon (I will absolutely NOT enable automatic updates, they tell me what they've got, and I decide if I want it), telling me it wanted me to okay the download of IE7. Needless to say, I told them to not ask me again. Phew!

I am now going to watch the videos, as I haven't had time before (on Firefox, which is my default browser).

Any way to uninstall IE7? We installed it and I don't like it. I finally was able to listen to it and see the little 1" x 2" box.

It said in my little window that gave me the choice to download it, that you can uninstall it if you don't like it. Go to your control panel, click on the 'Add or remove programs' icon, find IE7, click on it, click on uninstall, and you should be able to get rid of it again.

I just watched both the videos, and was very impressed. Even though, yes, improvements could be made, all in all it was fantastic. It was done in a very positive, informative way. I really, really liked it.

Wow--I decided at the last second not to install the IE7 (I'm not computer savvy, and had no idea what I was doing) and just listened to the second broadcast.

Thanks, Ursula--I'll know for next time :)

Not to derail the thread, but here's some browser answers for you.

The rumor is that IE7 is designed the way it is to drum up support for the new Vista OS that's due out soon. While it certainly appears rushed (it ignores more than a few established web standards) I can't imagine how this would make anyone want to rush out and buy Vista.

There is a work-around available on the IE website that will let IE7 mimic IE6. Alas, it does not fix the issue with the video playback on the Celiaccentral site. Neither does downloading the latest version of Quicktime.

You can uninstall IE7 and go back to the earlier browser if you like. Instructions are available on the IE website. I'm probably going to switch over to Firefox - it has all of the bells and whistles of IE7, with fewer headaches. The only thing I'll miss is FTP support, but Microsoft made a mess of that in IE7 as well. I'll just use Network Neighborhood to access my FTP sites.

      Celiac friendly probiotics

      By Florence Lillian · Posted

      In response to your questions regarding probiotics.  I have had Celiac for 40 years.  Stomach issues: digestion, IBS to chronic constipation, bloat after eating anything.  I was unable to eat a healthy variety of foods, tried probiotics supplements - some made me worse, others made no difference.  After reading about people with Crones, IBS, etc, who made their own probiotics I started making Milk Kefir: not water Kefir. There are 10 probiotics in milk KEFIR. After 3 weeks I was able to eat more, no gas, no IBS.  If you have a computer just ask for videos on making milk Kefir. I branched out and make my own Kombucha for even more probiotics. I do not make my yogurt because there are only about four probiotics in that. I started this when I was 82 and I still make my own Kefir and Kombucha. My stomach issues were fixed with the Milk Kefir alone. If you decide to try making it, make certain you order MILK GRAINS. The finished product tastes a bit like Buttermilk. I hope this helps in your journey to good health.

      Help me out here. Lauren Dam gluten-free beer from Spain is listed as gluten free. Yet its made from Barley Malt. I thought barley and any form had gluten. Anybody have any more information about it?

      Ibuprofen

      Ferritin levels.  And see what your hemoglobin looks like too, that will tell you if you are anemic?  You can have 'low normal' levels that will not be flagged by blood tests.  I had 'low normal' levels, my lab reading was. c12, just over what was considered normal, but I had small benign lesion on my tongue, and sometimes a sore mouth, and a consultant maxillofacial ordered an iron infusion for me as he felt my levels were too low and if he  raised them to 40, it would help.   Because you are not feeling 100% it might be worth looking at your levels, then discussing with your doctor if they are low normal.  But I stress, don't supplement iron without your levels being monitored, too much is dangerous.

      Hi Katht -  I sympathize with your struggles in following a gluten-free diet and lifestyle. I found out that I had Celiac Disease a few months before I turned 70. I just turned 89 and it has taken me almost 20 years to attain a fairly normal intestinal  function. I also lost a lot of weight, down to 100 lb. down from about 140 lb. What Trents wrote you was very true for me. I am still elimination foods from my diet. One person suggested you keep a food diary and that is a good idea but it is probably best just to do an elimination diet. There are several ne and maybe one for celiacs. I used one for a while and started with plain rice and zucchini and then added back other foods to see if I reacted or not. That helped a great deal but what I did not realise that it would only very small amounts of some foods to cause inflammation in my intestine. Within the last few years I have stopped eating any trace amounts of hot peppers, corn and soy(mostly in supplements) and nuts, (the corn in Tylenol was giving me stomach aches and the nuts were causing foot pains). Starting an elimination diet with white rice is better than brown rice that has some natural toxins. In addition it is very important to drink sufficient plain water. You can find out how much to drink for your height and weight online. I do have difficulty drinking 48 ounces of water but just recently have found an electrolyte supplement that helps me stay well hydrated, Adding the water and electrolytes may reduce muscle cramps and gag spams you wrote about. . Also buy some anti-gluten enzyme capsules to take with meals. I use GliadinX advertised here. These are a lot of things to do at one time as they reflect my 20 years of experience. I hope you do what you can manage to do over time. Good luck and take care.

      Advice while waiting for testing

      By oscarbolduc · Posted

      Hello, I'm relatively new to this, so I'm hoping to get some advice. I went gluten-free for most of April and felt the best I've ever felt. I’ve been experiencing strange symptoms since last August, but they all disappeared when I eliminated gluten. However, to get accurate blood test results, I’m back on gluten for a month (all of May), and I’m honestly feeling miserable. I’ve been dealing with joint pain, bloating, diarrhea, and just overall discomfort. Does anyone have tips on how to manage these symptoms during this month? What has helped you with joint pain?
