Calcium And Magnesium Supplements

Anyone know of any good calcium and magnesium supplements?

I was taking a really good natural product that came in capsules, and it really helped for me PMS a lot. However, since I have developed this pain in the side I have had to stop taking them because I get that pain in the left side (colon spasms) when I take them.

Anyone know of any, preferably liquid calcium, that is not too prone to reactions?

Also, magnesium as well.

I did read that for IBS one should not take calcium and magnesium at the same time

I bought some liquid calcium and Vitamin D at LD today, and I am going to try to sneak it into my blender drinks in the morning and hope I get no pain in the left side.

If anyone has had experience with a good liquid calcium let me know.

Thanx, Janet

I like Liquid Health. The calcium has the right ratio of magnesium plus other supportive nutrients. It doesnt have the best form of vitamin D (doesnt convert well) so supplement with D3 as well.

I use E-zorb, which is calcium aspartate anhydrous. I believe it is made from plants. Its extremely absorpable (90%) and as far as I know there are no adverse reactions. I use magnesium citrate powder from Now. I have also used their magnesium carbonate powder.

I also highly suggest taking either marshmallow root caps or slippery elm--or both to help heal and soothe the villi. Bromelain/papain caps will also help aid digestion plus reduce inflammation in the intestines.

You should probably also not eat uncooked vegetables, highly spiced or fried foods and for now avoid nuts and seeds, especially if they are unsprouted--until the lining of your gut becomes more thoroughly healed.

Don't have any issues similar to yours. But I've done some research on Magnesium/Potassium suppliments specific to Celiacs (and when I was diagnosed, I was also deficient in Potassium), and I use Country Life Target-Mins Magnesium Potassium Aspartate (with other Target-Mins Chelates).

It contains Target-Mins Magnesium as Magnesium aspartate, oxide, citrate, taurinate, and alpha ketoglutarate.

And Target-Mins Potassium as potassium aspartate, citrate, and alpha-ketoglutarate.

Target-Mins (trademark) are complexed with specific free-form amino acids and Krebs Cycle carriers for optimum mineral transport. I haven't a clue what that means, but it sounds really impressive, doesn't it? B)

Plus, get this. Country Life always labels their minerals in elemental weight. Unlike other common suppliments that use those produce scales at Walmart. :rolleyes:

And, there's NO Yeast, corn, wheat, soy, gluten, milk, salt, sugar, preservatives or artificail color. Darn, kind of makes you wonder just what this stuff is made of.

best regards, lm

I take the calcium/magnesium suppliment by Nature's Bounty and VitD by Nature Made--both appear to be OK by the label, but maybe double check if you're interested. If you're taking a Calcium suppliment of any kind, always take with food or it can really upset your stomach! It's important to take the Ca/Mg together because each helps the body absorb the other. The 3 of them together are like a natural prozac too!

As yolo mentioned, Open Original Shared Link makes powdered magnesium and calcium, in both citrate and carbonate forms. These will blend into drinks pretty easily, thought the carbonate forms are more neutral in taste. The citrate forms will add a citrus sort of taste - sorta lemony. These powders have no other ingredients too, so hopefully you won't have any negative reactions from them.

Adding some vitamin D3 (cholecalciferol) would probably be a good idea.

True about the vitamin D. I usually use cod liver oil but not all can digest it. If you can however its the best since it has omega 3's plus vitamin A.

Many use capsules if they can't take it straight. I use 800 to 1000 IU's a day (usually two teaspoons or one capsule).

      Negative biopsy and seeking doctor recs in Los Angeles

      By trents · Posted

      If you have been eating the gluten equivalent of 4-6 slices of wheat bread daily for say, 4 weeks, I think a repeat blood test would be valid.

      it did include Total Immunoglobin A which was 135, and said to be in normal range. when i did the blood test in January I would say I was on a "light' gluten diet, but def not gluten free.  I didn't have any clue about the celiac thing then.  Since then I have been eating a tonne of gluten for the purpose of the endoscopy....so I'm debating just getting my blood test redone right away to see if it has changed so I'm not waiting another month...

      Welcome to the forum, @englishbunny! Did your celiac panel include a test for "Total IGA"? That is a test for IGA deficiency. If you are IGA deficient, other IGA test resultls will likely be falsely low. Were you by any chance already practicing a reduced gluten free diet when the blood draw was done?

      I'm upset & confused and really need help finding a new gastro who specializes in celiac in California.  Also will welcome any insights on my results. I tested with an isolated positive for deamidated IGA a few months ago (it was 124.3, all other values on celiac panel <1.0), I also have low ferritin and Hashimotos. Mild gastro symptoms which don't seem to get significantly worse with gluten but I can't really tell... my main issues being extreme fatigue and joint pain. The celiac panel was done by my endocrinologist to try and get to the bottom of my fatigue and I was shocked to have a positive result. Just got negative biposy result from endoscopy. Doctor only took two biopsies from small intestine (from an area that appeared red), and both are normal. Problem is his Physician's Assistant can't give me an answer whether I have celiac or not, or what possible reason I might have for having positive antibodies if I don't have it. She wants me to retest bloods in a month and says in the meantime to either "eat gluten or not, it's up to you, but your bloodwork won't be accurate if you don't" I asked if it could be I have early stage celiac so the damage is patchy and missed by only having two samples taken, and she said doctor would've seen damaged areas when performing endoscopy (?) and that it's a good sign if my whole intestine isn't damaged all over, so even if there is spotty damage I am fine.  This doesn't exactly seem satisfactory, and seems to be contrary to so much of the reading and research I have done. I haven't seen the doctor except at my endoscopy, and he was pretty arrogant and didn't take much time to talk. I can't see him or even talk to him for another month. I'm really confused about what I should do. I don't want to just "wait and see" if I have celiac and do real damage in the meantime. Because I know celiac is more that just 'not eating bread' and if I am going to make such a huge lifestyle adjustment I need an actual diagnosis. So in summary I want to find another doctor in CA, preferably Los Angeles but I don't care at this stage if they can do telehealth! I just need some real answers from someone who doesn't talk in riddles. So recommendations would be highly welcomed. I have Blue Shield CA insurance, loads of gastros in LA don’t take insurance at all 😣

      Oats gluten free?

      By trents · Posted

      Okay, Lori, we can agree on the term "gluten-like". My concern here is that you and other celiacs who do experience celiac reactions to other grains besides wheat, barley and rye are trying to make this normative for the whole celiac community when it isn't. And using the term "gluten" to refer to these other grain proteins is going to be confusing to new celiacs trying to figure out what grains they actually do need to avoid and which they don't. Your experience is not normative so please don't proselytize as if it were.
