Do any of you experience very loose joints, and joint grinding> Had a massage today and my shoulders were popping in and out and grinding to the point the therapist mentioned it

Yes, only after I have eaten dairy or gluten. Then it seems to cycle out and become normal again.

I have had that problem for years--due no doubt to malabsorption from having celiac forever.

But now that you mention it--the popping and crunching when I rotate my shoulders (including the collarbone) has greatly diminished--along with my elbows, neck, low back (and previously crunchy ankles) are getting a lot stronger too.

As mentioned elsewhere, along with my "normal" minerals (E-zorb for calcium, mag. citrate, zinc, liquid trace sea minerals, I now also take MSM and the clincher--liquid silica drops. What a difference that has made!

Try the silica and msm and see if they work for you! I can now do push ups etc. without hurting myself. Plus my legs don't drive me to distraction at night (from aching and jerking)like they nearly always used to do for several years up to very recently (i.e., this last month). I have been taking the silica and msm since the beginning of January and have had a steady improvement ever since.

It is also helping my roomie's neck and low back too (he has celiac too). He has been taking silica and msm for the last month. He was having to see the chiro. all the time and now now longer has to!

Actually it was the chiro. that alerted me to the fact that my collagen might be low due to a problem I had in my mid back as well as some strange stuff going on with my feet... So I went with it and researched how to help replenish collagen in one's body.

Silica is good not only for the hair and fingernails, but also helps the osteoblasts in bone formation plus helps the body create collagen. MSM also helps. Neither are hugely expensive.

Now that you mention it - YES!

When I cough, my back pops in and out between the shoulder blades everytime.

Good info Yolo! I think I'm going to have to consider that.

Where do you get them?

When I was first diagnosed - my shoulder was in non-stop pain......now it's without pain after gluten-free - but the back is a great concern......it's just not normal.

Worth trying the things Yolo mentioned. TY

I have this in my shoulder, hip, and TMJ. I sound like I'm going to break most days. Worse when glutened.

      Unusual bright yellow but odourless discharge

      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
