Thank you for mentioning that. My main reaction to gluten seems to be related to the skin and breaking out. So, I'll definitely take that under consideration when trying to figure out how to better supplement calcium. I'm trying to use lower oxalate and lower histamine greens like broccoli, baby bok choi, collards and Lacinto kale. Recently, I've been... -

I tried algae based calcium supplements, but because I have Dermatitis Herpetiformis I broke out with dermatitis herpetiformis blisters. Do be careful. Iodine, whether in iodized salt or seaweed or some types of fish, can stimulate dermatitis herpetiformis. I stick to cruciferous veggies (broccoli, kale and other green leafy veggies), but I avoid spinach... -

Since you moved away from dairy, it's definitely a challenge to get enough calcium, and your point about its proper absorption is crucial—it's not just about intake, but also making sure it goes to the right places. Since you prefer food-based sources when possible, you could first focus on incorporating more non-dairy, calcium-rich foods like fortified p... -

Struggling to get into a good pattern
Yep,yep,yep, called it from experience. I've lived through SIBO and Candida myself. I get a different sorts of reactions to dairy, high sugar consumption, and gluten. I react to Casein, the protein in dairy. Try the AIP diet. Dr. Sarah Ballantyne designed it and is a Celiac herself. Her book, the Paleo Approach, has been most helpful.- 1

So, I'll definitely take that under consideration when trying to figure out how to better supplement calcium. I'm trying to use lower oxalate and lower histamine greens like broccoli, baby bok choi, collards and Lacinto kale. Recently, I've been getting migraine reactions to spinach, possibly from the histamine. I do use Malabar spinach (not related to spinach) but only a leaf or two in foods and I don't think it has a high calcium content. I should check into longevity spinach and Moringa again. Some gardeners in our area grow them.

I tried algae based calcium supplements, but because I have Dermatitis Herpetiformis I broke out with dermatitis herpetiformis blisters. Do be careful. Iodine, whether in iodized salt or seaweed or some types of fish, can stimulate dermatitis herpetiformis. I stick to cruciferous veggies (broccoli, kale and other green leafy veggies), but I avoid spinach. Many people have problems with oxalate formation (kidney stones) with spinach and calcium supplements. Do remember to take Vitamin D and Vitamin C with Calcium. Talk to your doctor and dietitian about supplementing with Vitamin A and Vitamin K, and Boron and Magnesium as these vitamins and trace minerals are important to bone formation as well. -

Since you moved away from dairy, it's definitely a challenge to get enough calcium, and your point about its proper absorption is crucial—it's not just about intake, but also making sure it goes to the right places. Since you prefer food-based sources when possible, you could first focus on incorporating more non-dairy, calcium-rich foods like fortified plant milks or juices, canned sardines or salmon with bones, tofu made with calcium sulfate, dark leafy greens like kale and collard greens, and almonds. If you still feel you need a supplement, your research on algae-based calcium is spot-on; it's often praised for its bioavailability and balance with other trace minerals, which may help with proper absorption. While the cost is higher, you might find it's worth it as a targeted solution, potentially taken every other day or a few times a week alongside your dietary efforts, rather than a full daily dose. It's great that you're already so mindful of your nutrient sources with the Brazil nuts and seaweed—this holistic approach is the best way to build a solid nutritional foundation. -
