What's Up With Url Modification?

I tried linking to Open Original Shared Link in a post (Open Original Shared Link), and the link wouldn't work.

At first, I tried using the macro: highlighting the phrase I had typed and wanted to link, then selecting the macro, and entering the url (Open Original Shared Link .com/Pyrex-Digital-Probe-Thermometer-Timer/dp/B00004RC4R/sr=8-1/qid=1165081574/ref=pd_bbs_sr_1/102-4501017-8361707?ie=UTF8&s=home-garden) in the pop-up window. If I did that, however, it would return a spurious html tag. What should have read, in the source:

<A href = "Open Original Shared Link .com/Pyrex-Digital-Probe-Thermometer-Timer/dp/B00004RC4R/sr=8-1/qid=1165081574/ref=pd_bbs_sr_1/102-4501017-8361707?ie=UTF8&s=home-garden">probe thermometer</A>

instead read

<A href = "Open Original Shared Link .com/Pyrex-Digital-Probe-Thermometer-Timer/dp/B00004RC4R/sr=8-1/qid=1165081574/ref=pd_bbs_sr_1/102-4501017-8361707?ie=UTF8&s=home-garden" target = "blank">probe thermometer</A>

(notice the extra space after 'amazon' and before '.com' and the 'target = "blank"', which causes the link to go nowhere.

I tried changing this manually, removing the space and the blank target, which I had never entered, but it would always pop up.

This doesn't happen when I link to the celiac board, and doesn't happen when I link to my own website.

So what's up with links to thermometers on Amazon? Or, as apparent at the top of this post, to *any* link to Amazon? <_<

nice... you're filter adds a space between amazon and .com even in the text I enter manually, when not a hyperlink, and just trying to demonstrate the problem.

faaaaabulous.

I ran into the same problem when I tried linking to Amazon in another thread (linking to Dr Green's book.) There was no way I could get it to work. Because I've not had problems linking other books from there, I suspected it was because the book being sold at Amazon was in competition with that be sold through the Celiac.com store.

I wonder if this... thoroughness has been added recently, because I can't even link to the main site, and I some how doubt that a probe therometer is a competitive gluten-free niche item....

I doubt that as well. (I had responded without noticing what you were specifically linking to.) Does the filter affect other online retail links as well? Or is it just Amazon?

Unfortunately Amazon has used this board to publicize and create backlinks to various parts of their online store. Other companies that have done this in the past have a total ban on their company name or url even appearing here--they are filtered to "Lame Advertisement." I did not do this in their case because they have such a big following, but their links will not work here because of this--it has nothing to do with what they are selling, only the way they have gone about publicizing their goods (one of my other freinds who hosts another forum has had the same thing happen on his).

Take care,

Scott

      @Scott Adams That's actually exactly what I ended up asking for— vodka tonic with Titos.  I saw on their website that Tito's is certified gluten-free (maybe many of the clear vodkas are, I don't know, I just happened to look up Tito's in advance). I should have actually specified the 'splash' though, because I think with the amount of tonic she put in there, it did still end up fairly sweet.  Anyway, I think I've almost got this drink order down!

      Be interesting to see the effects of dairy reintroduction with gluten. As well as milk protein sensitivity in and of itself the casein part particularly has been shown to mimic gluten in about 50% of celiacs. Keep us posted!

      She has been dairy free for six years, so she’d already been dairy free for two years at her last testing and was dairy free for the entire gluten challenge this year as well (that had positive results). However, now that we’re doing another biopsy in six weeks, we decided to do everything we can to try to “see” the effects, so we decided this past week to add back in dairy temporarily for breakfast (milk and cereal combo like you said).

      Hi Christiana, Many thanks for your response.  Interestingly, I too cannot eat wheat in France without feeling effects (much less than in the US, but won't indulge nonetheless).  I also understand children are screened for celiac in Italy prior to starting their education. Wise idea as it seems my grandson has the beginning symptoms (several celiacs in his dad's family), but parents continue to think he's just being difficult.  Argh.  There's a test I took that diagnosed gluten sensitivity in 2014 via Entero Labs, and am planning on having done again.  Truth be told, I'm hoping it's the bromine/additives/preservatives as I miss breads and pastas terribly when home here in the states!  Be well and here's to our guts healing ❤️

      Lol that’s so true! Hope you get clarity, it’s tough when there’s doubt. There’s so much known about celiac disease with all the scientific research that’s been done so far yet practically and clinically there’s also so much unknown, still. Out of curiosity what’s her dairy consumption like? Even compared to early years to now? Has that changed? Calcium is dependent in the mechanism of antigen presenting cells in the gut. High calcium foods with gluten grains can initiate inflammation greater.  This is why breakfast cereals and milk combo long term can be a ticking time bomb for genetically susceptible celiacs (not a scientific statement by any means but my current personal opinion based on reasoning at present). Milk and wheat are the top culprits for food sensitivity. Especially in childhood. There are also patient cases of antibodies normalising in celiac children who had milk protein intolerance/ delayed type allergy. Some asymptomatic. There were a couple of cases of suspected celiacs that turned out to have milk protein intolerance that normalised antibodies on a gluten containing diet. Then there were others that only normalised antibodies once gluten and milk was eliminated. Milk kept the antibodies positive. Celiac disease is complicated to say the least.
