Issues Viewing Cnn Video

I did some researching, and the IE/QT problem seems to be one of long-standing. IE version 5.5 thru 6 have some issues with QT. This can be worked around if the developer of a web page generates the right code. (Which is why sometimes you don't have this problem.) I'm not sure, but I suspect that embedding video may be new ground for the very hard-working, good folks at Celiac Central.

Meanwhile, a quick fix for everyone individually is to download and install Firefox. It's a free web browser.

Firefox download instructions (step by step):

1- Go to this site:

Open Original Shared Link

and click to download Firefox

2- Save Firefox Setup 2.0. exe to your desktop (so you can easily find it)

3- Once the download is complete, double-click the Firefox Setup.exe file to install the program. Just click next, next, ok,....or whatever. The installation suggestions it offers are perfectly acceptable.

4- When the program has installed, you'll have a new orange and blue Mozilla Firefox icon...that's the program. You may now drag the "Firefox Setup.exe" file to the trash. (Think of the .exe file as the packaging the program came in. When the program is installed you won't need its packaging any more).

5- Open the Firefox program. It will feel and look a little different than Internet Explorer but it works the same. Type the Celiac Central address into the address bar. Now when you click on the video links, you'll get the video as it was intended to look.

FYI: A lot of people prefer Firefox in general to IE. It's an apples and oranges thing, so you decide.

Once you install Firefox you can continue to use Internet Explorer anytime you want. It's perfectly fine to have 2 different web browsers installed on your computer. I do, and sometimes have them both open at the same time....np

The problem people are having viewing the CNN video from the Celiac Central website is NOT just related to Internet Explorer 7. I have Internet Explorer 6 and get the same partial video. For those anxious to see the video, try using Firefox (see above). It's been proven to work because I use it primarily, Nini uses it, Gamecreature uses it and all have watched the video with no problems.

If anyone other than Firefox users are able to view the video as it is intended I am interested in what browser you are using and what version of that browser.

Please let's move that video/browser technical discussion here and keep Judy's thread about the great CNN publicity on track.

Thanks jaten! I, like Patti, am technically challenged but Firefox was easy to download and save to my desktop. Now I can see the whole screen. I think it's odd that I can view other things on that site with full screen but they are in another format than the CCN clips.

GREAT! I'm glad that worked for you. It is easy to do, and hopefully others who may feel intimidated trying will now realize it really is just a few quick steps....taaadaaaaa!

Yes, if the other videos on that site are in some other format then probably they are opening in Windows Media Player or something. QuickTime is the only player I know of that has this issue with IE. (There is an alternative to QuickTime, but it's more straightforward just to download a different browser.)

Jaten,

Thanks for posting the Foxfire information. I'm now able to watch the show. :):):)

For Mac OSX users, IE is a problem and always has been. Microsoft has stopped making and supporting it for Mac anyway so it doesn't really matter. :rolleyes:

Safari and Firefox both work well on a Mac as does QuickTime...I had no troubles viewing the videos in Safari 2.0.4 Firefox is apparently a good browser across all platforms.

      Unexpected gluten exposure risk from cultivated mushrooms

      I agree with @trents, but thank you for bringing this up here!

      Desperately need a vitamin D supplement. I've reacted to most brands I've tried.

      Hi @trents, yes I've had my levels checked in Dec 2025 which revealed vit D deficiency. I considered eggs although they only contain about 45 IU vitamin D/egg. I need 2000 IU vitamin D for maintenance as per my doctor. Although now, I likely need way more than that to treat the deficiency. My doctor has yet to advise me on dosing for deficiency. I've also considered cod liver oil, although again, if it's processed in a facility that has gluten, especially on flour form, I worried to test it, even if they have protocols in place to mitigate cross-contamination with gluten.

      Welcome to celiac.com, @Jane02! Have you had your serum D levels checked for deficiency/sufficiency? What about cod liver oil? Egg yolks can also be a good source of vitamin D.

      Hello, I'm very discouraged. I've been trying to find a safe vitamin mineral supplement brand for months and am tired of testing one after the other and experiencing my typical 'glutening' reactions. I'm really feeling the nutritional deficiencies set in. I'm doing the best I can to get these nutrients from my food, although it's impossible for me to intake enough vitamin D as I can't have dairy and have insufficient sun exposure in the northern hemisphere. I've tried B Complex from Country Life (certified gluten-free) - horrible reaction. I've tried Metagenics vitamin D tab (certified glute-free) - bad reaction. I've tried liquid vitamin D Thorne and D Drops - reactions were mild since I tried a drop of a drop. I understand there could be other things I'm reacting to in my diet, although my diet/intake is pretty consistent with minimal variables so I do think it's something in these supplements. I understand I could be reacting to the active ingredient vitamin/mineral itself or even the filler ingredients. I tried the vitamin D drops since the only filler ingredient is coconut oil, in some brands, which I know I can tolerate really well on its own - I cook with coconut oil frequently and have no 'glutening' reactions at all. Perhaps I'm reacting to the vitamin D itself, although I eat fatty fish every few days, an entire fillet with no 'glutening' reactions, which contains anywhere between 400-600 IU per fillet so I shouldn't be sensitive to vitamin D. All this to say, I'm desperately looking for at least a safe vitamin D supplement. Does anyone know of a safe vitamin D supplement brand? I'd love to know if there are any supplement brands that have absolutely no gluten (especially in flour form) in their facilities. I've heard of Kirkman having no grains in their facility - I may try this brand. Has anyone reacted to this brand?

      Welcome to the celiac.com communiuty, @Matthias! Yes, we have been aware that this can be an issue with mushrooms but as long as they are rinsed thoroughly it should not be a problem since the mushrooms don't actually incorporate the gluten into their cellular structure. For the same reason, one needs to be careful when buying aged cheeses and products containing yeast because of the fact that they are sometimes cultured on gluten-containing substrate.
