Adcal or not
The doctor suggests that
calcium
carbonate
would be better changed to
calcium
citrate. I have been taking Adcal for 8 +Years and have an increasingly bad stomach and the GP has given me Lansoprazole. I have to say I haven't taken this. An attempt at Oneprazole gave me agonising stomach pains.

Is mineral water good or bad?
Unlike a lot of you who are petite, I'm medium frame and slightly overweight. When I was diagnosed with op, I started going overboard on things like almonds and cheese. I now realize I've gained 10 pounds that might cause other health issues if I don't stop it I take a few supplements, (D3 and K2 MK7

Update and first time referral to a neph...

Blood test for calcium
I was reading the 'Supplement timing' post which appeared in my daily e-mail this morning and one of the replies from greygoose raised a good point. In the past I was mildly low with my calcium and since going through a surgical menopause in October 2021 and having a DEXA scan which showed mild osteopenia

CKD Stage 2 & high calcium?
Is anybody at stage 2 CKD and have high calcium levels? I just discovered the CKD on my own a few weeks ago, this was after having a high calcium level on my last 2 blood tests. All my old primary doctor told me to do about the high calcium was to drink more water, see you next year. I recently switched

An interview with Dr Aileen Burford Mason - Magnesium deficiency
Indeed a very informative interview. Most of the things were new for me. After watching this, I feel that the most important supplement for Parkinson's is the magnesium. She also provides guidance on dosage. One important thing I noted was that calcium intake is must alongside magnesium. Why? Watch it

Update on seeing Electrophysiologist - and fed up.
Hi All, I’m a bit fed up. I wrote a couple of weeks ago about the fact I’d arranged a private appointment with an EP at my local hospital this week, as I was fed up with waiting for a follow up with my cardiologist which should have happened in January. I’m paroxysmal AF, formally diagnosed last September

Does magnesium interfere with calcium absorption?
I’ve been taking calcium ever since my TT because of low PTH (500 mg x2 daily) and I’ve recently started taking Magnesium glycinate 750 mg before sleep, 2 hours after the calcium.
