I can't stand how much an allergy can ruin your life! My friends came to visit me for a week, And I felt like I limited everything for them because I can't eat anything && I'm always in so much pain. I can't concentrate on anything because I just want to lay in bed and cry! As if that wasn't bad enough my boyfriend's mom now hates me because I can't eat most of what she cooks! I have explained what I can't eat so many times I feel like my head will explode if i try again. She even went as far as to call me a little princess because i'm so "picky"! I just want to feel like a normal person for a change!!!

She sounds very insecure! Sorry you have to deal with that...good thing is, he's not your husband...if you know what I mean.

Ugh! As if it's not bad enough to learn a new lifestyle, you have to deal with stubborn people. I am sorry to hear about your boyfriend's mom. Maybe loan her a book. I gave my mom a good one: Healthier Without Wheat. I don't know who wrote it, but it had alot of good information. Not diet and recipes, but information about gluten and what it does to our bodies. Maybe start inviting her over to your house for dinner more often, offer to get together with her and teach her how to cook/bake gluten free style. You could make it a 'girls night out' thing. I don't know - may sound silly, but if you tell her you are learning right along with her she may understand. She is probably just as frustrated. You heard the saying, "You can't teach an old dog new tricks"? Well, you can, it just takes more training! ;)

      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
