An Introduction!

Hi there everyone!!

I wasn't quite sure where to post this, so I decided to just make my introductions here! :)

I'm Lindsay, I'm 18, and I live in Utah. Right now I'm just in the beginnings of starting a photography business. And I start college courses in January at a local University so I can live at home for awhile.

I haven't been diagnosed with ANYTHING yet... and, well, I'm kind of sick of being sick. Honestly. But, I'll leave that out of my intro hehe

I don't plan on majoring in anything right off the bat, but I'll be taking classes in a bunch of different subjects that interest me and kind of see where that all lands. I'd like to possibly go into clinical psychology, forensic anthropology, and of course photography. So we'll see!! :)

I love animals, and always have... if I wasn't so terrible with Biology, I'd certainly be a vet. I think they're the only consistent presence in my life and I am so grateful for that. I have two dogs of my own, Sophie- a 18 month old Great Dane, and Oliver-a two year old Chiweenie (Chihuahua-Dachshund mix) as well as two cats Kitty and Greycee and five birds of varying species. My parents have three dogs and three cats as well, so we've got a FULL house!! haha If it weren't for them, I'm not sure I'd have the strength to keep on keepin' on. Life has been very difficult for me and they have been my saving graces.

I'm excited to possibly be on the right track with what's been going on with me, because it's been years of feeling terrible and I am so over it. It got so bad that I had to leave public high school in the middle of my sophomore year and was homeschooled for the rest. I just began testing for Celiacs, and hopefully the initial blood test results will be in very soon, I also have a food allergy test tomorrow (which I am NOT looking forward to. haha) I'm a member of a couple other amazing forums, and I love the relationships that develop talking to people that have something in common with you. I hope I get some of the same here!!!

      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!

      Allergy medication: cetirizine by the HealthA2Z is it gluten free?

      By ElisaAllergiesgluten · Posted

      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
