Calcium And Iron

Is there anything with calcium and iron in it, that someone with Celiac can actually absorb? I don't need more bone problems (have a messed up spine now), and to be anemic.

I would check out New Chapter's line of vitamins. They're food based and cultured, so they're more easily absorbed.

Also, you really only need about one-third of the recommended daily intake of calcium. The reason that it's so high is because you don't absorb the majority of it. But since these are cultured, and not rock based, you absorb more of it.

Great! I will look and see if I can find them.

I am currently just taking Every Man's One Daily just because I feel it is a good all around vitamin with not too much of anything.

I would recommend Every Woman's Iron Support and maybe Cal Mag Bone Health. I do have to warn you, they are quite expensive so I'd recommend shopping around to look for the best price. www.Lame Advertisement.com usually has good prices.

Also, calcium is best absorbed from foods. Supplements will only take you so far. Here are some healthy foods high in calcium --> Open Original Shared Link

* Notice spinach

Also here is an interesting article about synthetic vitamins and calcium that might of interest to you: Open Original Shared Link

Also www.kirkmanlabs.com has allergy-free and gluten-free vitamins, minerals and supplements. They are wonderful to work with.

and make sure not to take calcium supplements and iron supplements at the same time. they interfere with each others absorption.

Okay, good idea. :) And as for finding vitamins... I forgot all about needing gluten-free vitamins! I cannot believe it is in that stuff too :P

These look like a good vitamin but one word of caution, they do contain soy and some of us cannot tolerate soy. If it seems like you are not tolerating them that might be the reason.

Another good brand of vitamins that is fairly reasonable in cost is Country Life. Also if you have a Wegmans close by they carry allergen free vitamins that are fairly reasonable.

Well, so far, no problem with soy. Thinking I may be anemic, going to get tested on Monday.

I will see if I can find any of those brands anywhere.

I have never heard of Wegmans, so I don't think we have one around.

Thanks!

      Celiac flare years after diagnosis

      Bread has about 8 g of protein per 100 g, so a piece of bread weighing 125 mg contains 10 mg of gluten. Bread has a density of about 0.25 g/ml, so 0.5 ml of bread contains 10 mg of gluten - i.e. a bread ball 1 cm in diameter. I think it would be unlikely to ingest this much from throwing bread out for the birds.

      Sciatica came to mind for me as well. You might want to get some imaging done on your C-spine.

      Maybe this is sciatica? When mine acts up a little, I switch my wallet from one back pocket to the other. this isn't a substitute for more serious medical help, but for me it's a bandaid.

      Terrible Neurological Symptoms

      OK so I just learned something completely new about this for the first time in years, that is REALLY WEIRD. One of my nerves that likes to "burn" or whatever is doing it every time I bow my head! I mean it is completely repeatable. Literally every time. Once my head goes beyond a certain angle *boom*. Nerve goes mental (lower right leg pain). What the...

      Zaalouk moroccan eggplant salad

      I've only made this a couple of times but it's really easy and I love the flavor. If you can, use all of the ingredients to get the full palette of flavors. I use fresh or canned tomatoes and I don't worry about peeling them. If you don't have harissa, there are replacement recipes online. If you don't have the greens, I suggest adding a little chopped...

One of my nerves that likes to "burn" or whatever is doing it every time I bow my head! I mean it is completely repeatable. Literally every time. Once my head goes beyond a certain angle *boom*. Nerve goes mental (lower right leg pain). What the hell. I've never seen a direct trigger such as this before that I can recall. The pain was the usual type I get from this problem - I suspect somehow the head movement was interrupting descending inhibition processes, causing the pain to leak through somehow.

      I've only made this a couple of times but it's really easy and I love the flavor. If you can, use all of the ingredients to get the full palette of flavors. I use fresh or canned tomatoes and I don't worry about peeling them. If you don't have harissa, there are replacement recipes online. If you don't have the greens, I suggest adding a little chopped baby spinach or celery leaves to add a dash of green color to this red dish. Best eaten in first couple days because flavor tends to fade. Leftovers are still good, but not as vibrant. Ingredients 2 medium eggplants, partially peeled and cut into cubes (original recipe says 1 in, but I prefer 1/2 to 3/4 in) 2 tomatoes, peeled and crushed 4 garlic cloves, finely chopped or minced 1 tablespoon fresh flat-leaf parsley, chopped 1 tablespoon fresh cilantro, chopped ¼ cup extra virgin olive oil 2 tablespoons spicy harissa (I use Mina brand) 1 teaspoon cumin 1 teaspoon paprika ½ teaspoon black pepper 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar or lemon juice 1 tablespoon tomato paste (optional) Salt to taste Preparation     • Heat olive oil in skillet or pot over medium heat. Add all ingredients and cook for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally. Cover and cook on low heat for an additional 20 minutes, stirring occasionally.       • Serve warm or cold as a side or with bread for dipping. Enjoy!
