Hi Ryan, I live in Hampton Roads. What are your questions?

Im just trying to figure out my whole diet thing. I know i need to avoid gluten in my diet. Just curious on what kinds of products i can eat ive basically been living off of rice and fresh fruits and vegetables.

Hi Ryan, we are in Fauquier County, not sure where that is in relation to where you are but welcome. I'm rather new to this myself and seeking answers for me and my 2 year old son.

And I used to fly with the Flying Circus in Bealton, many moons ago. :D Virginia was home for me, but now a bit south of the boarder.

Well, just to help you quickly expand what you can eat, you can start by adding cheese, eggs, and meats, unless you're vegetarian or vegan. Virtually any plain raw meat in a store is gluten-free and can, of course, be cooked how you want it. Hot dogs are universally gluten-free in the U.S. as are virtually all sausages. Practically all deli meats are gluten-free. Find gluten-free pasta and make spag sauce or pour it from a jar.

Living in Max Meadows, if you want specialty gluten-free stuff I imagine you'll either have to order online or make sure to check out stores in other towns, such as Bristol. However, Kraft has a policy of clearly listing any gluten. And if you have a Kroger nearby they usually have at least a small section of gluten-free stuff.

      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
