OK we are 2 weeks away from the scope and V is getting sick again. We have decided to keep him home from preschool for the next 2 weeks to make sure he gets better and does not catch anything else. But what I am getting frustrated with is that fact he is complaining his tummy hurts all the time. I called his norm doc and they said try the over the counter tummy stuff. That was doing nothing so I called the GI doc they told us back off the miralax if we want (cant do that cause he clogs right back up) or that we could try zantac for kids, I said lets try that well its been a week at 2 1/2 teaspoons twice a day and his is still complaining. They told me no matter what keep him on the gluten. But what

You can beg to move up the endoscope. Tell them he is in pain and you really can't stand to see him in so much pain. If that doesn't work, just give him lots of love and cuddles and remember that it will be over soon. If your house is not gluten-free, you can use this time to convert over (if your entire house is going gluten-free.) It took us about a week or 2 to get the majority of the gluten-free stuff out of our diets.

You could also call every day checking to see if there has been a cancellation.

thanks for the thoughts, we are moving this week., we have been living with my parents so starting clean will be nice. I will call and see if they will move it up i am thinking they wont because he has been sick with a cold and other things. They keep telling me that they want him 100% and i keep telling them that it will not happen bc this is his time of year that he gets sick easy. I just cant wait to get him off of all the gluten.

      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
