Tendon Health Question

What is the consensus on tendon health supplements?  I'm taking a multi, Vit D, and Calcium.  My feet and hands experience some aching and I'm trying to lift weights again.  I have seen language regarded "chelated" magnesium, zinc, and I've seen people mention biosil or silicon.  ?  Is there a consensus out there on the following supplements?  I don't want to just start popping them haphazardly.  Am I including the right ones?  Is there one I'm leaving out?

 

I am also reducing my sodium intake for pre-hypertensive purposes and I've read that too much sodium can cause inflammation as well which is detrimental to tendon health as well.

 

Thoughts?

Glucosamine is good for joints and tendons.  Magnesium is also important.

I started taking Osteo-bi-flex when I started lifting again as a preventative - although Osteo-bi-flex is Glucosamine HCI and some will tell you that only Glucosamine Sulfate has been "proven" to be effective.  As I said, I take it as an injury preventative so cannot attest to it taking existing pain away.

This is a "wierd" response, but if you have any tendon issues, please don't take Cipro, an antibotic, (or any generic form of it) as it can "spontaneously snap" your tendons anywhere in your body.  The FDA has a black box warning on this drug and you can research it yourself.  I developed neuropathies after taking it.  Thankfully, my symptoms went away a few months after my initial Cipro exposure given after surgery.

You are spot on with this information.  I have not taken an anti-biotic for almost a year.  There were a few times I really wanted to.  My hcp recently wrote a script for Ceftin--spelling?  Because it is not in the same family as cipro.

He wrote the anti-biotic but the next day my symptoms were much better so I never started it either.

From what I've read, Cipro side effects can last or develop years after the first or several exposures.  I have it listed in my charts as being allergic to it!  As a runner, I can't imagine having my tendons snap and being permanently disabled!  Ugh!

I have added Osteo-BiFlex to my D, Calcium, and B12.  Should I sub my calcium for a 3-1 Calc/Mag/Zinc?

I take a Calcium/Magnesium/Potassium mix from Country Life: Open Original Shared Link

From what I've read, your body needs Magnesium to absorb and use the Calcium.

Does the magnesium change your bowel habits at all?  I have heard that it loosens a person up.  I was hesitant to go there.   ?

If you take too much, yes.  But at this level I've never had a problem.  The daily dose for these particular tablets is 2 per day.  I take one in the morning and one in the evening so that I'm not trying to absorb too much all at once, so that may help prevent getting too much magnesium all at once too.

Good to know.  As soon as my calcium is used up I will by a 3-in-1 (calc, zinc, mag).

Ligament/soft tissue issues are a side effect of autoimmune disease, according to my doctor.

I take a skew of supplaments, but her perspective is addressing autoimmune response is the best fix/stopper. For me, that means my effing thyroid (in addition to Celiac).

I am under strict orders not to exercise more than every other day, and my massage therapist has forbidden heavy weights or highly repetitive movements.

Recently, my doc prescribed l glutamine and a plant based supplament intended to support the immune system. I'm also on adrenal cortex and dhea - my adrenals are shot (ai disease) which apparently impacts sift tissue. I'm also now on liquid d3 @ 50,000 iu a week for a while. D3 is apparently, important also. This whole ai thing is all a circle, evidently.

#1 rule - don't screw it up. Don't damage your ligaments/tissue but DO exercise (isometrics, cardio).

      Popcorn pain

      By trents · Posted

      Welcome to the forum, @JenFur! You must be relatively new to the celiac journey. I wish it were as simple as just having to cut out gluten and all our gut issues magically disappear. It is very common for those with celiac disease to develop intolerance/sensitivity to other foods. Often it is because the protein structure of some other foods resembles that of gluten. Sometimes it is because damage the damage done to the gut lining by celiac disease wipes out cells that produce enzymes needed to break down those foods. Sometimes it is because the "leaky gut syndrome" associated with celiac disease causes the immune system to incorrectly identify other food proteins as threats or invaders. The two most common non-gluten foods that cause trouble for a lot of celiacs are dairy and oats. But soy, eggs and corn are also on that list. Sometimes these non-gluten food intolerances disappear with time and the healing of the villous lining of the small bowel.

      Popcorn pain

      I love popcorn but it doesn't love me.  Right now my gut hurts and I am bloated and passing gas.  Am I just super sensitive. I thought popcorn was gluten free 🤔

      Type 1 diabetes (4year old) and positieve ttg

      By trents · Posted

      Welcome to the forum, @marinke! "Type 1a diabetes (DM1) is associated with an increased risk of celiac disease (celiac disease) (1)." from: https://diabetesjournals.org/care/article/35/10/2083/38503/IgA-Anti-transglutaminase-Autoantibodies-at-Type-1 "The prevalence of celiac disease (celiac disease) in children with type 1 diabetes (T1D) is 5.1%, and it is often asymptomatic (1)." from: https://diabetesjournals.org/care/article/48/2/e13/157637/Diagnostic-Outcomes-of-Elevated-Transglutaminase So, this is 5x the rate found in the general population.

      Long term recovery

      By Mari · Posted

      Hi James47, You are less than 2 years into your recovery from Celiacs.  Tell us more about the problems you are having. Do you just want to get rid of belly fat or are you still having symptoms like gas and bloating.    For symptoms you may need to change your diet and take various supplements that you cannot adsorb from the foods you eat because of the damage caused by the autoimmune reaction in your small intestine.

      Type 1 diabetes (4year old) and positieve ttg

      By marinke · Posted

      My daughter (4 years old) has type 1 diabetes since she was 1. Therefore, every year a screening is done. We live in the Netherlands. Every year the screening was fine. This year here ttg is positive, 14, >7 is positive. IGA was in range. Could the diabetes cause this positive result? Or the fact that she was sick the weeks before the brood test?
