Hey there!

I had read a few days ago about an event in STL in May 09. But darned if I can't find the information now on the boards :D I think it was a walk/run but maybe it was just a Celiac Festival. Either way, could someone email me and let me know if this is true. My daughter and myself are newly diagnosed and I would love the opertunity to get to know others who have celiac disease. If it is a walk/run...how would I go about getting a team together for it? I believe it was in Tillas (sp) Park.

Thanks!!

Here is a list of different websites you might like to get you started.

Open Original Shared Link This I thought for sure would have a list of the walk you were talking about, but did not.

there is also a bakery in chesterfeild that offers taste testing on saturdays, they sell pizz dough, pizzas, breads, muffins, brownies, cakes and cupcakes. Pm me if you want that info.

I dont know abouts where in stl you live but at trader joes on manchester there are 2 gluten free employees that went through the entire store with us and told us what was good and not. They even let my son taste test 3 things. He is only 5. I have to admit them doing that saved us money on experimenting with food.

Pm or email me anytime. Sara mevans_stl@yahoo.com

      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

      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.
