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.

      Contradicting length of time for gluten challenge - please help to ensure not getting false negative. Thank you!

      By trents · Posted

      Okay, it does make sense to continue the gluten challenge as long as you are already in the middle of it. But what will change if you rule it out? I mean, you have concluded that whatever label you want to give the condition, many of your symptoms improved when you went gluten free. Am I correct in that? According to how I understand your posting, the only symptom that hasn't responded to gluten free eating is the bone demineralization. Did I misunderstand? And if you do test positive, what will you do different than you are doing now? You have already been doing for years the main thing you should be doing and that is eating gluten free. Concerning how long you should stay on the gluten challenge, how many weeks are you into it already?

      I mean that I will be re-taking the celiac blood test again while I am currently on the gluten challenge right now, but not sure how many weeks more to keep going, to ensure a false negative does not happen. Thank you.

      Thank you for your help, I am currently in the middle of the gluten challenge. A bit over 6 weeks in. At 4 weeks I got the celiac blood tests and that is when they were negative. So to rule out the false negative, since I’m in the middle of the gluten challenge right now and will never do this again, I wanted to continue consuming gluten to the point to make sure the blood tests are not a false negative - which I did not receive a firm answer for how many weeks total.    My issue is, with these blood tests the doctors say “you are not celiac” and rule it out completely as a potential cause of my issues, when the symptoms scream of it. I want to rule out this 30 year mystery for my own health since I’m in the middle of it right now. Thank you!

      I am a male and had developed osteopenia by age 50 which is when I finally got dx with celiac disease. I am sure I had it for at least 13 years before that because it was then I developed idiopathic elevated liver enzymes. I now have a little scoliosis and pronounced kyphosis (upper spine curvature).  All of your symptoms scream of celiac disease, even if the testing you have had done does not. You may be an atypical celiac, meaning the disease is not manifesting itself in your gut but is attacking other body systems. There is such a thing as sero negative celiac disease. But you still have not given me a satisfactory answer to my question of why do you need a differential dx between celiac disease and NCGS when either one would call for complete abstinence from gluten, which you have already been practicing except for short periods when you were undergoing a gluten challenge. Why do you want to put a toxic substance into your body for weeks when, even if it did produce a positive test result for celiac disease, neither you or your doctors would do anything different? Regardless of what doctors are recommending to you, it is your body it is affecting not theirs and they don't seem to have given you any good justification for starting another gluten challenge. Where you live, are doctors kings or something?

      Sorry to put it clearly, at 15, infertility started (tried to word it nicely) meaning menstruation stopped. Which is in correlation to celiac I mean. Thank you.
