Just wondering if anyone knows if eggs are usually okay with gluten-free and df people? This diet is a little confusing. I was diagnosed with the gluten-free...but found on my own (from reading this site) that the dairy was the big culprate of my intestinal gas (which is sooo mucher better now thanks to all of you)...what about eggs though? Are they considered part of the dairy group at all? I had an IGG and an IGE test done and they both came back negative...HELP!!

Eggs are not dairy, because they come from chickens, not bovine animals. They're safe if you're gluten-free/dairy free.

They're often confused with dairy since they're stored in the same place in the grocery store :)

My dad was asking me how I can eat eggs if I'm dairy-free ... I said, umm, 'cause milk is from cows, eggs are from chickens! Some people are allergic to eggs, which probably contributes to the confusion.

Yep, eggs don't come from the milk producing glands of a mammal, so they're not dairy. (Isn't that a pleasant mental image!)

They're different proteins, eggs are usually albumin and some other protein, dairy is casein (protein) or lactose (sugar). I've never heard of a whey (another milk protein) intolerance but I suppose it could happen.

It is confusing because they put eggs in the dairy section of the store usually. But dairy free just means stuff derived from milk.

Didn't the food pyramid used to put dairy and eggs together too? Weird. But what would you expect from an organization that doesn't put vegetables on the bottom rung - the biggest one.

Also, dairy and eggs are often correlated because of the vegan diet. Vegetarians, in general, still consume both, but if a restaurant or store or person, for that matter, thinks one does not eat dairy, then no eggs either.

      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!

      Allergy medication: cetirizine by the HealthA2Z is it gluten free?

      By ElisaAllergiesgluten · Posted

      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
