Yes, you can. Do some research in the kinds of calcium supplements that will make the calcium the easiest to absorb. And don't over do it be cause some calcium supplements will lower the acid level in your stomach too much and inhibit the digestion of your food.

Yes. You can check for gluten of course but thus far i haven't seen a calcium supplement to contain gluten.

@Diamonds,

I take calcium citrate-malate from Adaptogen Research.  It's a form of calcium that the body can utilize better.  I also take Vitamin K2, boron, and Vitamin D with my calcium because these all help with bone maintenance.  

Calcium in green leafy vegetables like kale, collard greens, mustard greens, and turnip greens provide great sources of calcium that the body can assimilate better than the calcium in dairy products. 

And, eat more liver!  Liver has lots of the vitamins and trace minerals we need to stay healthy.

@Diamonds,

The modified maize starch sounds suspicious to me. 

Calcium should be taken with Vitamin D to help in bone formation, so that's not a problem.  Taking extra Vitamin D from your Vitamin D supplements and calcium supplements should not be a problem. 

I take Calcium Citrate.  It's easier on my digestive system.

There are some calcium supplements that contain propylene glycol as a laxative because calcium may cause gas and constipation.  Take small doses with meals.

It's available on Amazon.com.

The benefits of calcium outweigh the risks of low calcium.  A doctor can monitor your calcium levels and bone density before you get blocked arteries.

      Major Glutening

      By FayeBr · Posted

      I have this so many times with products. Companies state online that their items are gluten free and then when I ask in an email, they always respond with ‘we can’t guarantee that it is, as we don’t test for gluten’ I had one recently with a bone broth that I enquired about. And dioralyte. I will include their advert and then their reply. It is so frustrating. More than frustrating. How are we meant to navigate the minefield without transparency? Thankfully I very rarely get Glutened. It is mostly soy that is the worst thing for me to avert. I react to it similarly but not for as long and mainly pain all over. And we know how that hides in things. I am still suffering and today was a back pain day with the usual gut and gastro symptoms. Aren’t we all lucky.  Still, we live to fight another day! 😊

      Major Glutening

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Talk about sowing confusion...why does Gaviscon's website say: and when you ask them about this directly they reply with a letter saying that their product might contain gluten? This seems like false advertising to me! @FayeBr you may very well be reacting to gluten in the product, given their terrible response.

      Folks, Does anyone know statistically, how common Thyroid issues occur in Coeliacs? Hypothyroidism, subclinical hypothyroidism and Hashimoto's. Thanks in advance.

      Diagnosed with potential Guillain Barre could it be celiac related?

      By Nattific · Posted

      Hello, I am 24, and I got officially diagnosed a few months ago, but I'm nearly positive I've had celiac since childhood. I noticed that with a lot of my reactions, I would have neurological symptoms- dizziness, brain fog, issues with coordination- but it would always go away the farther I got from the reaction. Well, 4 weeks ago, I had my first big exposure in two years. I got a salad from work, asked for grilled chicken, they put breaded chicken on, and put on a lot of dressing, so I couldn't tell until I was bout 50% finished eating it. I had all my regular miserable symptoms, diarrhea, vomiting, bloating, joint pain- all the works. But then, right around when the GI symptoms stopped, I developed neurological symptoms. I started feeling dizzy, and then the dizziness progressed to numbness in my legs, then weakness to the point that I fell down stairs. After I fell, I went to the ER, and now I have been admitted with Guillain-Barré. I developed paralysis and lots of issues with my cranial nerves. At its worst, my paralysis went up to my knees, but after 5 days of IVIG treatment, I'm now no longer paralyzed in my legs, just incredibly weak and struggling to walk. The problem is that a lot of my tests are coming back normal, which I'm told can happen with Guillain-Barré, especially this early, so that's my diagnosis, but the other differential diagnosis is "functional neurological disorder." So if my EMG test winds up being negative, it looks like that will be my diagnosis.  I'm wondering if it winds up not being Guillain-Barré, if this could be a rare form of neurological involvement of celiac disease? I don't really agree with the functional neurological disorder differential, as I have no preexisting mental health problems, i actively meditate, go to therapy, and am genuinely a quite calm and pleasant person. Functional neurological disorder seems to be the brain's response to trauma, and is more of a psychiatric condition than a physical one, so I can't help but disagree and be more inclined to think it's a neurological side effect of my diagnosed celiac disease. Just want some opinions.  Also for reference, before all of this happened, I was working as a nurse full-time, enjoying my off days with friends and family, had a vacation planned, and was genuinely doing fine from a mental health standpoint. This also happened right after a reaction, which is leaning me towards celiac disease.  Any opinions are greatly appreciated, thanks friends!

      4.5 years into diagnosis, eating gluten-free and still struggling: would love support, tips, & stories

      By lehum · Posted

      Hi Christina, Thanks so much for taking time to answer in detail and share your story, too. It's a good reminder that we all walk different paths -- and that none of them are right or wrong.  It seems like, with time, you've come to be able to identify clearly what your triggers are. I am hoping for this clarity for myself with more time. I am sure it just takes time and lots of experiences. I am 4.5 years in. When my doctor checked my antibodies earlier this year, they were at 8, which was clearly a pretty incredible progress from the 1,118 where they were 4.5 years ago! Because I am working with a different doctor than the one who diagnosed me, he hasn't seen this progress for comparison and just told me I need to be more careful. That felt frustrating. I do not have a dishwasher and I don't share the house with gluten eaters, but that is a great tip for the future, should I live in a place with a dishwasher again! When I moved into my apartment, the oven was already here. Although I don't use the convection setting, cleaned it thoroughly after moving in, and do not share it with gluten eaters, perhaps it would be worth replacing it anyway. It is getting really old as it is...   Thank you again for your response and wishing a lovely Thursday, L
