Looking For Others In Kentucky

Hello, Im new to the whole blog thing and to the whole Celiac World. My little boy tested postive for Celiac and my daughter's test have yet to come back. But I was just looking for others in KY that are new or old to this disease, just wanting to share information on products that are good and things to do and not do. Even if your not in KY any infomation would be great. We have been gluten-free for 1 month now and my little one seems to be 85% better but have had some spurts of direaha so I think I am somehow cross contaminating his food and that is why he gets this boughts sometime. I have looked for commerical products that are gluten-free but they are few and far between. We only have 2 very small naturel food stores in a nearby town, their gluten-free section is very small and very expensive. Any help would be greatly appericated. Also if anyone know's of a good online store to order gluten-free products.

Thanks So Much,

-Corinda

Corinda,

What part of Kentucky are you in? I live in Southern Indiana just across from Henderson.

Hi Kate, I live in southeast KY down near the TN state line.. So we are a good distance apart. Are you new to the whole celiac thing, or a pro at it by now?

I've been gluten free for about four months now, so I'm somewhere in the middle, not a beginner anymore, but not a pro either. I've been doing lots of research and reading on websites like this one and in medical journal databases.

Hi,

I'm in Southern Indiana too. I just moved west of Louisville. I am originally from Louisville. I miss being near the Whole Foods store, although it was expensive. I buy most of my stuff online.

      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!

      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
