Ads On Both Sides Of Message Box

So suddenly this morning I'm seeing the same ad on both sides of this message box, which is causing the message to be squished into a small space (I'm on a laptop). It's annoying because I have to scroll down so much to read all the messages in a thread. Also, it's annoying to see duplicate ads! lol...

What's that supposed to mean? No need to be snarky, I was just asking why I'm seeing duplicate ads. If the answer is that you need more ads in order to pay for the board then just say so. Because if that's the answer I would have expected to see more *different* ads, not complete duplicates.

There is some truth to that. But the advertisers on this board are safe. Each one is a legitimate supplier of products or services catering to the gluten-free needs of the celiac community.

The ads don't bother me--I learn about some new gluten free products/services that way. However may I suggest to the owners of this board that your could offer a paid subscription for people that don't want to see the ads? Another board I am on does that--it's a free site, but they also offer an ad-free subscription for $15-20 per year or something really low. If you are in need of more revenue to keep the board going perhaps you could try offering that. Or offer some incentive for regular members to click on the ads--like a contest or something. I will go click a few now because I really appreciate that this board is free. ;)

That is a good idea, and I'll look into it!

And I have no objection to ads at all, especially on boards like this where I want to learn about as many gluten-free products and information as I can. I was just asking why I suddenly was seeing duplicate ads -- i.e., the exact same ads on the left as on the right. But, it doesn't matter now, I solved it with my trusty ad-blocker. I can still open the ads by right-clicking into a new window, which I will do because like I said, I want the information. But, now I can at least read the posts and have a text box that's more than a couple of inches across.

Scott, IMHO, Dollar/penny wise, wouldn't it bet better for Regulars to click on at least one ad daily instead of an ad-free subscription for $15-20 per year ??? Way to often Sites start offering an ad-free subscription and soon after add boards just for subscribers. Next they offer lifetime membership, with boards just for lifers as they are called... Sometimes important information gets Posted in one of the Member Only Boards... I would hate to see any Celiac information Posted on such a Board... Trust me, I'm not against an ad-free subscription for $15-20 per year, just Member Only Boards...

      Diagnosed gluten allergy but not Celiac

      By trents · Posted

      I don't think we can say that just one thing, whether vitamin D deficiency or emotional trauma, or a viral infection, or what ever is always what triggers the onset of celiac disease. We do know there is a genetic component to it and there is increasing evidence that factors creating gut dysbiosis (such as overuse of antibiotics and preservatives and environmental toxins) are major players. Hybridizing of heirloom wheat strains to increase the gluten content by multiples may also be a factor.

      Thanks for the follow-up correction. Yes, so not 10x normal and the biopsy is therefore totally appropriate to rule out a false positive or the unlikely but still possible situation of the elevated lab test number being caused by something besides celiac disease.

      Diagnosed gluten allergy but not Celiac

      By Waterdance · Posted

      Thanks. I believe I can trace my gluten and milk allergies to specific traumas in my life. I've had some quite severe traumas over my lifetime. Mostly in my history I was so out of sorts surviving that diagnosing gluten sensitivity/allergy/celiac was just not on the table for such a survival mode existence. Vitamin D makes sense too. Now I take very good care of myself, I have a rock solid stability and I do take 1,500 IU of D daily. It's more obvious to me now what's causing problems and so most of the time I only eat protein and vegetables. I cheat sometimes. I end up paying for it though.

      Thanks everyone for replying. Actually made a mistake when stating the lab range for results, should have been 0.0-7.0 not 0.7 u/ml. She was 19 u/ml. I’m afraid science bamboozles me especially trying to understand all the IgA’s and other bits!!!!Regular blood results like full blood count etc not so much!!!!

      Diagnosed w Celiacs, but reacting to gluten-free Digiorno Pizza AND Kraft Zesty Italian Dressing

      By John767 · Posted

      DiGiornos gluten free pizza at one point was  made from a dough derived of wheat starch...yet they were able to call it gluten free probably because it came in at under 20ppm for gluten.  Apparently the recipe was changed and the pizza not longer contains a wheat starch derived crust.  As for the Heinz dressing, it could be an issue with cross contamination with wheat barley and or rye somewhere during the production process.  If you read how Frito-Lays (on their website) designates items gluten free, you will understand the variances in the lengths companies go through in deciding when to put on a gluten free label and when not--Frito-Lays is pretty solid.  Also being in Canada, they may follow a common international rule of less than 20ppm of gluten is all that is required to be labeled gluten free regardless of the grains used to manufacture the product (common in Europe, Central, and South America)...it took a couple of really rough mornings after consuming some Dura Damm (labeled as gluten free outside the USA) for me to realize that it was a gluten reduced beer. Same with Mahou Beer which actually says in Spanish "suitable for celiacs", unfortunately it is not suitable for this celiac and of course the following day was really rough as well...really take the time to read the ingredients because had I read the ingredients of  Mahou's "suitable for celiacs" "sin gluten" beer I would have noticed that it was made from cabada (Spanish for barley)...hope this helps...
