So glad you've made it through the first year. It gets so much easier after that first anniversary. :) So... Now you've made my day and I'm going to walk around with a goofy smile all day. Thanks.

Oh, and have a wonderful (gluten free) holiday!

Thank you for being a part of the board too! While I personally just love to see that little kitty in your avatar the most, I also love the help and advice you give to everyone. And that includes the questions you ask, because I sure know that I learn from answering questions as well as asking them. :)

Hi Tiff :D

Thank you for the lovely sentiment, and a big congratulations on getting through the first year!

I have learned a lot from you, too. Your knowledge of all things pharmacy has been so helpful.

I hope that you are having a nice holiday season--I was just thinking about you and your husband. I pray that he is well, and that possibly (?) he is able to be home for Christmas.

Take care, and don't be a stranger--I've missed you :D

I could have pretty much said the same thing, because I've learned so much this past year. We all learn from each other, it would have been so overwhelming without all you guys, and I would never have figured out all my food intolerances, and the adrenal and thyroid problems without this board.

I hope you all have a great Christmas.

Well thank YOU Tiffany. It's nice to be included in that group of very helpful people. I was just thinking last week that I hadn't seen any posts from you lately.

I'm glad you've passed your anniversary. It's a good feeling. I remember when we passed Ty's one year. It seems like so long ago.

I hope you have a happy holiday and I hope your husband can come home soon (if he hasn't already).

I second that; congratulations! We alll understand what a major deal this is - I've just passed my first year as well. You beat me to the punch by starting this thread...I was thinking of it but wasn't sure what to say! :P

We do learn from each other, and I am so grateful for you all and for this site. Practically everything I know about this condition and what to expect / be mindful of has come from all of you who have taken the time to share your experiences here. I would've gone crazy with all of the upheavals my body's been going through - especially with all these ' new' food allergies and intolerances - if you hadn't clued me in! Thank you all for being so warm and generous, especially at times where you weren't exactly feeling at your best yourselves. Have a wonderful Chrismas, everyone!

Naj.

      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!

      By trents · Posted

      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
