Types Of Vitamins

Which kind of vitamins do you take? And do you take any other supplements?

I have been taking a Centrum for long time, but I feel like I should be taking something more advanced. I definitely feel like I am lacking minerals and vitamins. I have had really bad posture for so many years. I've done yoga... but I still sit all hunched over. What am I lacking?

I'm going to make an appointment with my doctor soon.

vitamins aren't going to do a lot for your posture - you need to build and use the muscles that maintain good posture. every day, multiple times a day. it takes a lot of work to break the slouching habit. :( (btw, how often did you do yoga? I didn't get much posture benefit at less than 3 times per week, because the your proprioception sense tends to 'forget' the corrections that a teacher gives you for appropriate posture over time.)

I take mineral drops by Liquimins and the ORIGINAL mangosteen supplement. It is SO awesome!!

I also take MSM and other things like calcium, magnesium, blue green algae, CoQ10 [because I'm on a beta blocker].

The last time I did yoga was prenatal yoga 8 months ago. Wow,, time goes fast. I'll probably start up again soon. I only had class once a week. Maybe I'll try and get into a class that offers 2 or 3 times a week. I sit hunched over about 90% of the day. The other 10% is only when I think about how I am sitting and sit up straight until I forget about it. I'll have to keep working at it.

I think I will try those mineral drops. I am also thinking about taking magnesium and calcium. Are there certain brands that are gluten free?

Hi I'm also looking for vitamins that will give me some energy. I have a very active toddler to keep up too.

You can try finding some sort of trigger - every half hour a reminder pops up, every time you get an email, every time you're at a stop light... something(s) that happen often - that remind you to fix your posture. There's no way out of simply reminding yourself over and over. Even when you do get better into the habit, you'll have to remind yourself, you'll just be better about reminding yourself. It's all a matter of effort.

If your "posture" has been bad for so many years, you might consider that you have either scoliosis or osteopenia. Have you been checked?

That's a good idea,, to find triggers to help me remember to sit straight... I am going to give it a good try.

I am making a list that I'll bring to my doctor.. I will definetly add scoliosis and osteopenia to it. Thanks!!

      Celiac and dermatitis herpetiformis has taken Me from Me

      By Wheatwacked · Posted

      Have faith, you will survive. I get mine from Pipingrock.com.  500 capsules of 10,000 IU for $22.  That is almost two years worth for me.  250 caps 5000 IU for $6.69 if you only take 5,000 a day.  It's like half the price of Walmart.

      Outgrow celiac?

      By Wheatwacked · Posted

      Testing can't alone be trusted.  Else why would it take so many years of testing and retesting and misdiagnosis to finally be told, yes you have Celiac Disease. As to what to eat, I like pre 1950 style food.  Before the advent of TV dinners.  Fresh food is better for you, and cooking from scratch is cheaper.  Watch Rachel Ray's 30 Minute Meals for how to cook.  Keep in mind that she is not gluten free, but her techniques are awesome.  Just use something else instead of wheat, barley, rye. Dr Fuhrman is a ex cardiologist.  His book Eat to Live and Dr Davis' book Wheatbelly were instrumental in my survival.

      If you have DH you will likely also want to avoid iodine, which is common in seafoods and dairy products, as it can exacerbate symptoms in some people. This article may also be helpful as it offers various ways to relieve the itch--thanks for the tip about Dupixent, and I've added it to the article:

      I just want to clarify that what I posted is a category of research summaries we've done over the years, and nearly each one shows that there is definitely a connection to celiac disease and migraine headaches. The latest study said: "the study did indicate some potential causal associations between celiac disease and migraine with or without aura, as well as between migraine without aura and ulcerative colitis...this study did not find evidence of a shared genetic basis..." Anyway, there is definitely a connection, and you can go through more of the articles here if you're interested: https://www.celiac.com/celiac-disease/celiac-disease-amp-related-diseases-and-disorders/migraine-headaches-and-celiac-disease/

      Celiac and dermatitis herpetiformis has taken Me from Me

      By SusanJ · Posted

      Two months ago, I started taking Dupixent for dermatitis herpetiformis and it has completely cleared it up. I can't believe it! I have had a terrible painful, intensely itchy rash for over a year despite going fully gluten-free. See if your doctor will prescribe Dupixent. It can be expensive but I am getting it free. When the dermatitis herpetiformis was bad I could not do anything. I just lay in bed covered in ice packs to ease the pain/itching and using way too Clobetasol. Dapsone is also very good for dermatitis herpetiformis (and it is generic). It helped me and the results were immediate but it gave me severe anemia so the Dupixent is better for me. Not sure if it works for everyone. I cannot help with the cause of your stress but from experience I am sure the severe stress is making the celiac and dermatitis herpetiformis worse. Very difficult for you with having children to care for and you being so sick. Would this man be willing to see a family therapist with you? He may be angry at you or imagine that your illness is a psychosomatic excuse not to take care of him. A therapist might help even if he won't go with you. Also do you have any family that you could move in with (with the kids) for a short time to get away? A break may be good for you both.
