Farm Living is definitely the life for me!! I found that while I have not been able to reverse my osteoporosis, once I stopped taking meds, and switched to high doses of D3, along with some added magnesium, the decline stopped. And now that I am blissfully in menopause, I have remained stable. I have been really happy with topical CBD cream for some of the joint pain. Oral does nothing for me, but the cream really gives me relief. It doesn't last long, but long enough for me to be able to fall asleep!!
I love liver, but am pretty sure I couldn't eat it 12 times a week!! When I was supplementing iron, the Spatone Iron Plus was the only thing that seemed to have any impact (and it tasted good). Even with that, my body simply failed to absorb most oral iron.
Thanks for the info!!

Janet, Consider this: discuss with your doctor in addition to any rx...adding 10thousand Vitamin D3 daily and vitamin K2.( it comes in 100 mcg @ wally world.10$/2 months supply Both are OTC)
Research came out about 2 years ago indicated K2 is the mineral mover in the body and returns excess in blood vessels to muscles and bones.Information said one would need to eat 30 lbs of broccoli a day to get sufficient of this Vitamin.K2.
...Both hubby and i have forms of Osteoporosis. his has been stopped.( he does take mineral in addition intermittently on a schedule... and is documented. I have no insurance so can not get testing.. but my strength is much improved...and no longer have muscle cramps. The article also stated there are K vitamins numbered 3 through 8 "discovered" as well. They are in process of investigating the action of each..I am 61, so right behind you... :>)
K1 is the one that thickens blood and K2 is a mineral mover.No actions on the others yet...
Thanks Denise, I will get it checked. I appreciate your advise.
hugs, Esther
Esther, you could have a stricture... an area where connections were made that have scar tissue.- building up..... that could give your symptoms... a laxative would thin all passing thru to allow passage... my dear uncle died from a bowel obstruction that was "missed" on 5 drs exams. do not let any sudden change go undiagnosed...- checked out thoroughly. after these wls surgeries we do not have extra intestines to spare... if you have a narrow passage it is vital to keep plenty fluidsin the gut to assist in thinning of effluent. i am no longer a nurse.don't play one on tv, i did have wls in 96
Thank you, I took a laxative and I'm back to my usual routine. I haven't felt well the last couple of days but I'm back feeling good again. I am going to see my doctor to get it all checked out.
Hugs, Esther
Thank you for your reply, I took a laxative and I'm fine now. Today I'm back to my normal diarrhea. I don't know if that's normal but it's better then being constipated. My body is reacting oddly.
hugs, Esther
Thank you, I finally got diarrhea again. My body is doing some weird things.
hugs, Esther
NO! THAT is NOt normal!. Go see a Doctor ASAP. concerned Like White Dove with possible intestinal blockage... possibly following a gastritis episode. because normal go is so ofen for you - you could not have caught your warning signs..
You need to be checked medically.. a twist is not fun and a bowel obstruction can be fatal if is not addressed promptly.
Hi Kate,
It's good to hear from you..and catch your report... I had an different wls, in mid 90's. I have complications similar to a DS, actually a RNY with multiple bowel resections and removals. Our weights mirror each other.LOL I live on a few acres in Tn. We have chickens and rabbits.and a small garden.
I have rhumatoid and Osteoarthritis, brought to fruition by Lyme. I can not take any meds , one dose of anything normally prescribed brings on gastritis. 2 hospitilizations w/twisted intestines later,- i now use willow bark 1-2 x a week followed with a single dose of Prevacid about 2 hours later. warm water soaks on hands get fingers going on cold days.The K2 and epsom slat foot baths have no hurt..
I am also on Anemia scale. my best fix for that is to have liver 2 x a day.. Only 1.5 oz each time... the second best is to take 2 Organic Buffalo or calf liver capsules with morning meal. Liver has every compound one requires to absorb iron.
The internist who found my severe anemia...told me Liver was the perfect food. Eating it 6 days a week 2 times a day, for 6 weeks. boosted my Hg. by 8/10ths a point.
It is so much easier to obtain and take dessicated liver. in capsules. it comes in 180 count bottles and price range is 45-70$, for 3 months supply@ 2 /day. Rabbit liver is delicious, both tender and sweet.., and so is farm raised chicken liver.It is wonderful my Hubby does not like either of them!LOL
For joint pain you might try magnesium oil... I have read a lot about it recently and it is on my "purchase on next buying trip" list.Earth clinic had an article on it recently.
I have also been diagnosed with osteopenia, to reverse that in both my hubbs and myself, 12 months ago we increased our D3 to 10 thousand units per day.with Vitamin K2. It has been researched over past 2 years as the body's mineral mover. Moving magnesium, calcium, zinc and other trace minerals to the bone and away from blood vessels. My Dh has had tests confirming his osteoporosis is improving with his additional 6 years since last tests. he hits 71 this year.
It is not normal unless you've change your eating habits or taking something that can cause constipation (for example pain medication). Call your doctor first thing this morning.
