You only need to worry about calcium ions, for example, in calcium carbonate. Dairy calcium is bound and not a problem, as long as you have a one hour interval, as with all foods.

Guest guest Posted July 25, 2007 Report Share Posted July 25, 2007 No, I think that is okay. I was under the impression that it is only calcium or iron supplements ... not food containing these things. :-) Knowing that they recommend one spaces calcium supplements 4 hours apart from thyroid medicine I have a question. Does that mean all sources of calcium need to be 4 hours apart as well? I have been spacing things like cereal and yogurt 2 hours apart. If that is wrong, please let me know. ************************************** Get a sneak peek of the all-new AOL at http://discover.aol.com/memed/aolcom30tour Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for replying to this one!! You are most welcome. Just make sure the smoothy doesn't have any " chalk " in it. Also, calcium carbonate is sometimes used as filler for other meds, such as aspirin. You can look up ingredients for what you take, but to be safe, you might want to take everything other than thyroid meds later in the day.

Guest guest Posted April 7, 2008 Report Share Posted April 7, 2008 Though I have not had my hair analyzed to confirm, I can tell by looking at my teeth that I do not metabolize calcium properly. I also have difficulties metabolism iron too apparently, because I have a grey film on my teeth which can only be removed by a dentist, only to reappear a day after a dental cleaning. I have tried adding a calcium and magnesium supplement, but those only increases my ES symptoms. I even went so far as to purchase coral calium powder to make sure it was not an additive in the supplement that was causing my symptoms and I experienced the most severe anxiety, sweating, head and bone pain from this.

Yes, I had a horrible reaction to coral calcium. I think this stuff can be contaminated with heavy metals, so you may have been reacting to the contamination, not the calcium. If you really want a good test of your tolerance for calcium, you should try Calcium Lactate, which requires the least amount of " work " by the body to be bioavailable, and doesn't require a certain pH in the intestine. I've tried Calcium Lactate by Standard Process, and don't have a bad reaction to this. You can purchase 90 tablets of this for only $6: http://pacifichealth.com/cgi-bin/shop.pl/page=spac_a-c.html My impression is that this supplement provides a bit of relief from ES, which is the opposite of my reaction to coral caclium.

Guest guest Posted April 7, 2008 Report Share Posted April 7, 2008 Calcium is available in different forms. The best way is calcium citrate, because in that form, the body absorbs best.

Guest guest Posted April 7, 2008 Report Share Posted April 7, 2008 Yes, I too have problems with coral calcium and some other types of calcium, including calcium citrate, which is supposed to be very easily absorbed. The calciums I absorb the best are calcium lactate or calcium AEP. My nutritionist told me also that coral calcium is only useful for certain problems and it was not good for my situation because it added to lymphatic overload.

Guest guest Posted April 8, 2008 Report Share Posted April 8, 2008 Hmm, From what I understand, most don't absorb calcium especially after a certain age. We get brittle bones because of this, I think. An orthomolecular practioner told me different people's body chemistry would dictate what kind of calcium is optimally absorbed by them; carbonated, citronated etc. Your individual body chemistry or blood type might make it a particularily specific suppliment you need to take. Did the people who took the hair sample offer any advice? tanya > > Hi, I have had a hair test where there was an extremely high level of calcium, it is not being > absorbed by my body.

Guest guest Posted April 8, 2008 Report Share Posted April 8, 2008 Also, not to make you paranoid but check hyperthyroidism and possibly other conditions which affect/relate to calcium, copper and zinc absorbtion if you haven't looked into it already. tanya > > I have tried adding a calcium and magnesium supplement, but those > > only increases my ES symptoms.

Guest guest Posted April 9, 2008 Report Share Posted April 9, 2008 I'll have to try that form of calcium. I thought coral calcium would be the best type originally, thinking this had no added ingredients. I do believe my thyroid was overactive at one point - I was emaciated - but I had thyroid tests done recently, and it is actually slightly underactive now. I weigh about 105 (I'm 5' 3.5 " ), and my normal healthy weight is about 95 lbs. When I got really sick though, my weight dropped to 88 lbs - that's when I believe my thyroid was really working overtime.

Guest guest Posted October 7, 2008 Report Share Posted October 7, 2008 Hi Everyone, When I was on Gleevec I seem to remember that we couldn't take calcium close to the time that we took our Gleevec dose. Is that true of Sprycel? Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted October 7, 2008 Report Share Posted October 7, 2008 Hi , That's true of most drugs, not just Gleevec. The reason is because calcium usually blocks the absorption of other drugs if taken at the same time. The only exception that I know of is Vit D which is actually recommended to take at the same time as calcium. If you wait 2 hours before and after your Sprycel to take the calcium, you shouldn't have any problems. Take care, Tracey > > Hi Everyone, > > When I was on Gleevec I seem to remember that we couldn't take calcium close to the time that we took our Gleevec dose.

Guest guest Posted September 11, 2011 Report Share Posted September 11, 2011 Hello Ann, No, calcium is not on the list of companion nutrients. It is recommended to take 400 mg of magnesium. Is there a reason you are taking so much magnesium? Best, Kathleen calcium question I keep seeing references to take calcium as one of the supplements but it is not listed in the supplement list on the new member's doc. Is calcium needed and if so how much do you take? I also take from 1200 to 2400 mg of magnesium a day, is this ok? Ann Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
