Regina Sk Chapter

My daughter was diagnosed with Celiac Nov of 2007 after a biopsy. We have periodically checked to see if there are any events or meetings for celiacs in Regina. The Canadian celiac website lists a chapter in Regina, but I have never seen any meetings listed. Am I looking in the wrong place, or is the chapter pretty inactive?

We would like to find a network of people to share tips and questions with in Regina. Anyone out there?

I don't know what's going on with them. It has been 2+ years since I got any newsletter or meeting invites, so my guess would be inactive :(... Even when I spoke with a lady who used to be the Celiac dietician here in Regina she said she didn't know what was going on with them.

I think I am going to have to try and join the Saskatoon one. I suggest you should, also. I have been told they have much better newsletters.

It really sucks because when I moved to Regina is when the Chapter seemed to disappear!

Maybe if we can get a few more people interested we could start up the Regina chapter again.

That would be so nice!!! I was never able to come out to any of the meetings or parties. The letters were also nice because the one had a whole list of where to eat/where to buy food.

Whenever I can get to see the current Celiac dietician (I haven't had the way to go drop of referral letter from my doc yet) I'll also ask her what is going on or how a person could get things going again.

      Gluten free vitamins

      By trents · Posted

      Yes, I have concerns about the calcium supplementation as well. Sounds like a good idea on the surface if you are trying to address bone density issues but when overdone it can have the opposite effect. Calcium supplementation increases gut PH (i.e., lowers gut acidity) which can interfere with vitamin and mineral (including calcium itself) absorption. Often, bone demineralization is not due to lack of calcium intake but to low gut acidity. This is why you will often see calcium supplement products paired with vitamin C (ascorbic acid). Drinking OJ or tomato juice along with the calcium supplement can help with this as they are acidic juices. Calcium supplementation can also contribute to plaque arterial buildup I believe. I think it might be best to focus on rich natural sources of calcium.

      Celiac Maybe a Possibility?

      In that case if you answer "no" does that mean the chef doesn't have to be as diligent?  If you ask for "pork free" do they ask if it is an allergy too? How's this for an answer: "I get violently sick if I eat wheat, barley or rye"?

      Gluten free vitamins

      By Wheatwacked · Posted

      I order my vitamins from Pipingrock.com. They also make Cream of Rice.  Clearly marked gluten free. Right next to the Cream of Wheat. Stoneyfield Whole Milk Yogurt will help repoputate your gut bacteria.  It has lactase so is ok for lactose intolerance. 6 ounces has 210 mg calcium. For magnesium I get the 10 ounce bottle of liquid Magnesium Citrate at the supermarket or drugstore ($3).  One or two ounces of it  in a glass of water.  Add ice and sugar if you like.  I like the Cherry or Grape best. Instead try: Cream of Rice, Cheese and Good Thins (rice crackers), scrambled eggs and gluten free toast. Do you need Calcium supplement?  Calcium from supplements can cause hypercalcemia, a condition that can lead to serious health complications.  Vitamin D increases calcium absorption.  Monitor 25)(OH)D vitamin D plasma and  parathyroid hormone (PTH).

      The forms that vitamin and mineral supplements come in can be important. Bioavailability (i.e., how well they are absorbed) is often sacrificed for the sake of cost and shelf life. The vitamin or mineral you are targeting is always chemically combined with other elements to make them into a dispensable form (such as a powder, liquid or a pill) and to give them some chemical stability for shelf life.
