Hi, Ive read online somewhere that colostrum is a good supplement to take for malabsorbtion and leaky gut issues. I bought some but Im a little wary about trying it because Im afraid Ill get a reaction. Its supposed to help heal the lining of the intestines. Has anyone used this? Ive heard great things.

I want to speed my healing time and Im interested in anything that could assist. Any advice?

Colostrum is a dairy product. Are you ok with that?

I find many references to magnesium being important for absorbing nutrients, though obviously it's not the only thing. There are a number of vegetables and fruits which are good for the digestive tract in various ways, and whole foods are better than supplements, from what I've read. Here's a site I find continuously useful: www.whfoods.com. Here's an article on that site you might find interesting: Open Original Shared Link

Steph, I am not familiar with that. My health journal notes do say to avoid dairy and corn syrup with IBS symptoms, get rid of the bacteria, melatonin improves IBS, get a lot of rest, drink good water and exercise helps move things around. :)

Hi,

I have found many supplements very beneficial, but what to take depends on what kind of symptoms you're still having that you need to address?

I used colostrom for years before I found out I couldn't have dairy. I liked it. It's supposed to be good for your immune system and your intestines.

I'm not sure you can get it where you are - but Inner Health Plus (Dairy free) has been really great for me

Basically any probiotic should be handy now and then, you don't need to take it forever - just when you feel like you need a helping hand

I take a good-quality probiotic and BCQ capsules by Vital Nutrients. Both seem to help.

      Unusual bright yellow but odourless discharge

      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
