For my bone repair and now maintenance, I take Perque Bone Guard. It has calcium, D, boron, magnesium, etc. A combo works better. There are other similar products. Best of luck in your healing!<BR/><BR/>If you try the cake, I look forward to hearing what you think. :-)Shirleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12236812564217726681noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2931721063254423826.post-53043022694004976442008-02-27T08:03:00.000-08:002008-02-27T08:03:00.000-08:00Shirley,I was so happy to read that you were able ...Shirley,<BR/>I was so happy to read that you were able to reverse your osteopenia! I have this too, and have just started using suppliments, so now I'm hopeful that mine bones will return to normal too. The Clementine cake looks reeeeeealy good. I'm still on an orange kick and look forward to trying it soon.<BR/>CindyCindyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06302633625162739408noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2931721063254423826.post-15950318104623937132008-02-26T15:20:00.000-08:002008-02-26T15:20:00.000-08:00Saw your comment on the GF Girl's blog and thought...Saw your comment on the GF Girl's blog and thought I'd check out your blog. I am so glad I did. :-) First, many, many kudos to you for figuring out you had gluten issues and going GF for your own health. Bravo on being cancer free! If you don't mind I might share your tale in promoting awareness on how gluten issues can be manifested in various symptoms/illnessess. I lead a small support group in my area and I am speaking at a Women's Forum next month. I always find it helpful to share individual's stories that folks can relate to. Wondering, too, if you take vitamins and minerals as part of your healing regimen. Sometimes they can be the missing link ... the GF diet is great (and how cool that you saw results so quickly!), but as you start absorbing vitamins and minerals again supplementation is good. I had osteopenia when I was diagnosed as gluten sensitive, but it took 4 years of being GF and supplementation before my bones became normal again. What a happy day that was for me! Before my diagnosis, I had one illness after another, had my gall bladder removed, had a hysterectomy, could barely go up and down stairs, etc., and then I found my "miracle" doc who diagnosed me and put me on the GF path.<BR/><BR/>Second, here's a great recipe to make a naturally GF clementine cake. Yummy and easy. http://www.foodnetwork.com/food/recipes/recipe/0,1977,FOOD_9936_36069,00.html Nigella Lawson created it and it's on her site, too, but the measurements are in grams, etc. there so this Americanized version is better. Hope you get a chance to make it some time.<BR/><BR/>Don't mean to ramble on. All the very best to you!<BR/>ShirleyShirleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12236812564217726681noreply@blogger.com
