Loving My Family

We recently moved and various family members are due to visit this summer.  The first group was just   here for over a week, my adopted daughter and her children (9, 15, 17, 18).  We provided all the food and the only problem was there was the expense of all the g.f. bread they consumed!  I did buy separate mayo & mustard for them as we had regular hot dog buns one evening and no one had a problem with keeping the buns outside by the campfire ring. (G.F. hot dog buns for teenage boys with hollow legs are waaaay to expensive)     Next morning the kids were making tuna sandwiches for our picnic lunch when the oldest remembered that they couldn't use the "group" mayo for my tuna.  All four kids came to a halt as they pondered over the dilemma.  What an awesome group of kids.  They dashed for a fresh can of tuna, my special mayo and fresh fork for my fixings!   They wrote my name on the baggie so there would be no mistakes.  Even the 9 yr old "got" it.    I love my family!!!  Thanks for letting me brag a bit.

I love my family, too. My son made me my favorite cake for Mother's Day, coconut, all from scratch and gluten free. They respect my gluten free table in the kitchen, but I look with envy on families that maintain a completely gluten free kitchen for their loved ones and plan meals for them. That is not happening here! Oh well, I love them anyway!

      Yes, I, too, have osteoporosis from years of malabsorption, too.  Thiamine and magnesium are what keep the calcium in place in the bones.  If one is low in magnesium, boron, selenium, zinc, copper, and other trace minerals, ones bone heath can suffer.  We need more than just calcium and Vitamin D for strong bones.  Riboflavin B 2, Folate B 9 and Pyridoxine B 6 also contribute to bone formation and strength.   Have you had your thyroid checked?  The thyroid is important to bone health as well.  The thyroid uses lots of thiamine, so a poorly functioning thyroid will affect bone heath.

      That sounds so very likely in my case! I will absolutely ask my doctor on my next bone check coming up in March... Thanks a lot!

      Calcium levels as measured in the blood can be quite deceiving as the body will rob calcium from the bones to meet demands for it by other bodily functions. Also, supplementing with calcium can be counterproductive as it tends to raise gut pH and decrease absorption. More often than not, the problem is poor absorption to begin with rather than deficiency of intake amounts in the diet. Calcium needs an acidic environment to be absorbed. This is why so many people on PPIs develop osteoporosis. The PPIs raise gut pH. And some people have high gut PH for other reasons. Low pH equates to a more acidic environment whereas high pH equates to a more basic (less acidic) environment.

      Kind thanks for all this valuable information! Since my Folate was/is low and also my Calcium, there IS a chance I am low in B vitamins... My doctor only measured the first two, oh and Zinc as I has twisted her arm and guess what, that was mega low too. So who knows, until I get myself tested properly, what else I am deficient in... I did a hair mineral test recently and it said to avoid All sources of Calcium. But this is confusing for me as my Ca is so low and I have osteoporosis because of this. It is my Adjusted Ca that is on the higher side and shouldn't be. So am not sure why the mineral test showed high Ca (well, it was medium in the test but relative to my lowish Magnesium, also via hair sample, it was high I was told). But anyway, thanks again for the VitB download, I will look into this most certainly!

      Hello good afternoon, I was wondering if anyone has ever brought their anti-allergy pills? I have been wanting to use their Cetirizine HCI 10mg. They are called HealthA2Z and distributed by Allegiant Health.I’m also Asthmatic and these allergies are terrible for me but I also want to be sure they don’t have any sort of gluten compound.    I have tried calling them but to no avail. Has anyone ever used them? If so, did you had any problems or no problems at all?    thank you
