Ironic

Osteoporosis is complex to say the least, and best attacked on several fronts.  Think of it as a four legged stool.  One leg is Calcium Balance, another is hormone platform, a third is weight bearing exercise, and the last is stress management.

A gluten-free diet that is truly nutrient dense and not j

Hope this helps...

Thoughtful, useful post - thank you.

I am still losing bone in spite of addressing all the legs on your stool. Malabsorption is not an issue. The exact cause of the loss cannot at the moment be found. My doctor of course wants me to take any one of the wonder drugs (that take years to work - if they work). I tried one and gave up because of the physical distress it caused. I was holding my own but am now once again going negative. Not a happy picture. Claire

Hi Claire -

Good to see more info for you...and for others, too. I also found out, 4 years or so ago, that I have osteopenia, so I also need to get more serious about how to help my gut absorb more calcium...

Anway, I am hoping you are going to do the Enterolab gene test - I'll be checking in occassionally on you... and George... and the other members I have come to 'feel' for - hoping that we all make progess together.

Oh, about this type of medium making it easier to share our stuff than in-person contact - I agree - it is good to be able to focus on our issues, without the 'noise' of in-person social interactions...and to also be able to do so when we feel up to it.

Fondly,

Gina

Good to 'see your face' again. I am sure everyone misses hearing from you. I will send you some osteo tips 'off forum' as it does tend to take others off topic. Claire

      Bread has about 8 g of protein per 100 g, so a piece of bread weighing 125 mg contains 10 mg of gluten. Bread has a density of about 0.25 g/ml, so 0.5 ml of bread contains 10 mg of gluten - i.e. a bread ball 1 cm in diameter. I think it would be unlikely to ingest this much from throwing bread out for the birds.

      Sciatica came to mind for me as well. You might want to get some imaging done on your C-spine.

      Maybe this is sciatica? When mine acts up a little, I switch my wallet from one back pocket to the other. this isn't a substitute for more serious medical help, but for me it's a bandaid.

      OK so I just learned something completely new about this for the first time in years, that is REALLY WEIRD. One of my nerves that likes to "burn" or whatever is doing it every time I bow my head! I mean it is completely repeatable. Literally every time. Once my head goes beyond a certain angle *boom*. Nerve goes mental (lower right leg pain). What the hell. I've never seen a direct trigger such as this before that I can recall. The pain was the usual type I get from this problem - I suspect somehow the head movement was interrupting descending inhibition processes, causing the pain to leak through somehow.

      I've only made this a couple of times but it's really easy and I love the flavor. If you can, use all of the ingredients to get the full palette of flavors. I use fresh or canned tomatoes and I don't worry about peeling them. If you don't have harissa, there are replacement recipes online. If you don't have the greens, I suggest adding a little chopped baby spinach or celery leaves to add a dash of green color to this red dish. Best eaten in first couple days because flavor tends to fade. Leftovers are still good, but not as vibrant. Ingredients 2 medium eggplants, partially peeled and cut into cubes (original recipe says 1 in, but I prefer 1/2 to 3/4 in) 2 tomatoes, peeled and crushed 4 garlic cloves, finely chopped or minced 1 tablespoon fresh flat-leaf parsley, chopped 1 tablespoon fresh cilantro, chopped ¼ cup extra virgin olive oil 2 tablespoons spicy harissa (I use Mina brand) 1 teaspoon cumin 1 teaspoon paprika ½ teaspoon black pepper 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar or lemon juice 1 tablespoon tomato paste (optional) Salt to taste Preparation     • Heat olive oil in skillet or pot over medium heat. Add all ingredients and cook for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally. Cover and cook on low heat for an additional 20 minutes, stirring occasionally.       • Serve warm or cold as a side or with bread for dipping. Enjoy!
