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.

      Is it gluten?

      Hello @A Wilson, Glad you found us.   There is your answer.  The results from the tests are just more data to the puzzle.

      Is it gluten?

      By Wheatwacked · Posted

      Hi @Woodster991, You do need to see a health professional to make sure it is not appendicitis.  Rebound tenderness, fever.   Is it gluten?  Yes.  It is also serious vitamin and mineral deficiency.  Either by Celiac Disease malabsortion, food avoidance or just not getting enough.  Consider significantly increasing your intake of vitamin D, B1, Choline, Iodine, B2, B3, B5, B12.  The vitamin D test, (25(OH)D, is simple and accurate. Whole Milk yogurt and berries to populate your gut with benificial bacteria.  I drink Red Bull for energy.  Eat food low in omega 6 fatty acids. The ideal ratio is less than 3 omega 6 to 1 omega 3.  For some, the Modern American Diet is estimated to be more than 14:1.  Very inflammatory.  Wheat flour is 22:1.  Grass fed milk is 1:1. Whether Celiac Disease (1% of the population) or Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity (10% of the population) would take blood tests and endoscopy. It is either that, or you have managed to contract 6 or 7 different diseases at the same time. You don't need a doctor's permission to not eat gluten anymore than you would to eat Chinese food.

      Being gluten free for two weeks prior to testing can make a difference in the test results if the score is borderline.

      Is it gluten?

      By A Wilson · Posted

      Hello, New to Celiac.com, glad I found this site. I have had a lot of GI issues most of my life. Recently my GI issues got so bad I tried a gluten free diet and made a appointment with my GI doctor. I  got the Celiac disease blood test but I  had been gluten free for two weeks before the test. My doctor told me being gluten free for two weeks would not make a difference in the test results. I am not sure I believe that.  I have been reading a lot of articles about Celiac disease and they all give the same information. My GI issues are all gone since my gluten free life started around October 16th 2024, and I  don't want to go back to eating gluten. I am nervous about going back to the doctor for my test results.

      I was also told I had IBS years ago like literally it's just IBS the docter said I've had lots of  the symptoms you say there plus much more but I'm convinced it's not just IBS although I feel very sorry for people who get told this too because IBS is a real problem for people too it's awfull how much ignorance is around in the world these days from docters try the elimination diet like I did gluten free I also did lactose because it was still bothering me I found a real big change I've read some members here say  it can be quite hard to get a diagnosis and help but there is plenty of self help here it's not wrong to self diagnose if you find that it truly is a Life changer be true to your own needs and ask people already suffering for advise it's about your quality of life now and for future this us were I'm heading if I have no luck with docters I will have luck helping myself 🤗
