so i went for a bone density scan, my doc was wondering as i have some joint pain, and with the restricted diet and such he was a little concerned, i am below average for bone density. now i did have a hysterectomy a couple of years ago, but i had my ovaries left in, anyone else here have this problem. whats a good brand of calcium supplements that are soy and gluten free?

thanks

My dietician told me to try Nature Made "enhanced absorption" Calcium 750 mg + D + K . They are available at Costco right now. They are gluten free, I don't know about the soy part, but you can check the company website or call customer service. I am also told that you also need to be taking magnesium in order to enhance calcium absorption.

Yeah, the Costco product mentioned above is a good one and a good value. I would also supplement with more D3 however. 1000 IU is generally therapeutic but not too much to be toxic. Costco sells Vit D3 tablets at that dosage as well.

Hi, just had my first bone density scan a couple of weeks ago. I have bad osteoporosis in my spine, and less severe in my legs and hips. The doctor started me on actonel. I have been taking calcium mag. for a long time. The doctor recomended a different calcium suppliment. I was diagnosed with the celiac's a little over a year ago. I had the symptoms a long time before the doctors figured out that I had celiacs. I went to the Vitamin Shop today and picked their brains about what suppliments I needed, along with the doctors recomendations. I got Calcium Citrate plus Magnesium & Vitamin D. I take two capsules 3 times a day. It has no soy, and of course gluten free.

I have osteopenia in 2 of my vertebrae and osteoporosis in 1, but my hip is OK. I'm taking Citracal Plus with Vit D and Magnesium. It is gluten free. I was taking Boniva for 3 months , but had a bad reaction with it.

i just had a scan done last month and it showed osteopenia in my hips (I'm 30 and I've lost 2 inches of height in the last few years) not sure about which supplements are gluten-free I haven't had any problems with the ones I got at sams club (I got the Vitamin D with calcium)

      Celiac Disease and Longevity: Can Treatment and Healing Improve Long-Term Survival?

      Welcome to the celiac.com community, @Paulyw! So, we need some clarification here because your post is a little confusing. Am I correct in assuming that before you ate the food offered by your client, you were already aware that gluten-containing foods made you ill? And am I correct in assuming that you have never had any formal testing done...

      Celiac Disease and Longevity: Can Treatment and Healing Improve Long-Term Survival?

      Hi-im new to this forum so thankyou for accepting me. I have had dietary issues for at least 12 years. Last summer i had a terrible episode when a client made me lunch-2 toasties and 2 slices of homemade cake. I am a landscape gardener. I was stupid to drop my guard and eat the food-not wanting to offend the kindness. Within 1 hour i...

      Increased intraepithelial lymphocytes after 10 yrs gluten-free

      By trents · Posted

      Cristiana, that sounds like a great approach and I will be looking forward to the results. I am in the same boat as you. I don't experience overt symptoms with minor, cross contamination level exposures so I sometimes will indulge in those "processed on equipment that also processes wheat . . ." or items that don't specifically claim to be gluten free but do not list gluten containing grains in their ingredient list. But I always wonder if I am still experiencing sub acute inflammatory reactions. I haven't had any celiac antibody blood work done since my diagnosis almost 25 years ago so I don't really have any data to go by.
