Welcome to the forum, @Thoas! Just curious. Why do you ask? Is there some reason you are hesitant to try it besides taste? -

I was instructed to take Algaecal as alternative to bisphosphonate drugs for osteoporosis. I did for 2 years, 1200 mg a day. My cholesterol spiked above normal during this time. We watched it and finally determined best to get a test to see if calcium was causing the spike. I have never had high cholesterol before. Could the celiac non absorption have caused... -

I was instructed to take Algaecal as alternative to bisphosphonate drugs for osteoporosis. I did for 2 years, 1200 mg a day. My cholesterol spiked above normal during this time. We watched it and finally determined best to get a test to see if calcium was causing the spike. I have never had high cholesterol before. Could the celiac non absorption have caused calcium to build in my arteries? Now put on a statin to lower cholesterol (began at 180 went to 240 while on Alcagal). thanks -

Navigating a new diagnosis and setting up a 504 plan in Florida can feel overwhelming, but you’re taking such an important step for your daughter! Common accommodations for students with conditions like celiac or gluten sensitivity include unrestricted bathroom access (with no arbitrary limits), permission to leave class or school abruptly if symptoms flare, excused absences for recovery days without requiring immediate doctor notes, and access to safe snacks or a designated eating area. Some families also request preferential seating near the door for easy exits, extended time on tests if fatigue is an issue, or the ability to keep medication/food in the classroom. As for strict bathroom policies, a 504 plan overrides those rules—your daughter’s medical needs legally take priority. It might help to specify in the plan that she requires ‘as-needed’ bathroom access or the ability to go home without penalty during a reaction. Many students thrive with these supports in place, but clear communication with teachers (and a backup advocate, like a school nurse) is key. Wishing your daughter a smooth transition—you’re already doing great by advocating for her!
