I have a daughter on lots of calcium supplements since she is celiac and allergic to dairy. She is also allergic to nuts, seeds and other natural magnesium sources. Do any of you add magnesium to your kids calcium supplements? I am considering options and curious about any feedback you guys have....thanks!

My dd, age 7, gluten free since december and allergic to dairy but I've only recently gotten her back on dairy free...... I supplement with magnesium for her ADHD behavior. The magnesium has a huge calming affect on her. I give her 1/2 tsp 2x a day of CALM powder in juice. She is also helped very much by epsom salt baths (2 cups in a bath, soak for 15+ min). It helps her sleep and helps her mood.

Yes! When you take calcium you should also take magnesium. They need each other. Important to get them in the right ratio, though. I've heard different numbers so I won't quote them, but a few google searches should help you with that. In short, calcium helps muscles contract and magnesium helps them relax.

There's a great book called, "The Magnesium Miracle" ...I know, sounds quacky, but seems legit. Lots of good info in it.

Magnesium calms me down, too. (there is a long explanation about how adrenaline wastes magnesium....but I won't go into it)

Good luck.

      Sometimes celiacs can also have other things like lactose intolerance which is fairly common. Also research fodmap foods, it's quite complicated but there are some other foods which can cause digestive issues. For me it's too many onions and garlic.

      You may be reacting to some of the ingredients used to imitate gluten products. I eat Amy's Chilli quite often with no problems. When I eat Bush's chilli beans or Hormel Chilli with the same ingredient list, I get heartburn.  Break out the alka seltzer.   Barillo spaghetti has CORN FLOUR, RICE FLOUR, MONO AND DIGLYCERIDES. Udi's White bread Ingredients - water, tapioca starch, brown rice flour, canola oil, dried egg whites, sugar, tapioca maltodextrin, tapioca syrup, sorghum flour, less than 2% of: rice starch, sorghum grain, flaxseed meal,  gum blend (xanthan gum, sodium alginate, guar gum), apple cider vinegar, apple fiber, molasses, salt, amaranth flour, teff flour, yeast, cultured brown rice, locust bean gum, enzymes Chobani Greek Yogurt Cultured nonfat milk, cane sugar, water, natural flavors, fruit pectin, guar gum, locust bean gum, vanilla extract, lemon juice concentrate.

      My TTG was 167 one year ago. Recently had it retested one month ago and it went down to 16. I only recently had an endoscopy done as I was pregnant within the last year. I did not eat gluten prior to this endoscopy as I get very sick. Prior to obtaining the biopsies, the endoscopy said “ diffuse moderately erythematous mucosa to the second part of the duodenum without bleeding.” However, the biopsy came back negative. I assume it’s a false negative as I have also had genetic testing to confirm celiac. However, what would cause the inflammation to the second part of the duodenum and continued positive blood markers if the intestines have healed?

      Thank you for direction.  Eating out is a concern though we rarely do, but I'm prepared now.
