How Cool Is This?!

I've posted before about how fortunate we were to find a wonderful, supportive pediatrician. Well - I took Aiden (the 19 month old) in for his 18 month checkup on Friday, and he started asking me about Enterolabs for one of his other patients. Evidently after I told him about our experience with trying to get a diagnosis on our older son and using Enterolabs, he's been recommending them to his other patients with gluten issues as well! :D I was so happy to hear this - I've never heard of another doctor giving Enterolab their seal of approval! Now if only other doctors could be as open-minded as he is (the first ped GI whom I subsequently fired comes to mind).

Heather,

That it GREAT news to hear! You definitely found a keeper in that pediatrician! It is wonderful to hear of a doctor who is willing to try something "new" in order to improve the quality of life for his patients. THAT is the sign of a true doctor....no....a true HEALER.

Thank you for posting this. I have heard, over a year ago, from a friend of mine that her doctor uses enterolab for his osteo patients etc. After she tested thru them & has made so much progress on the gluten-free diet. I think there are more doctors using Enterolab than we know...

      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
