<<Disclaimer: Verify this information before applying it to your situation.>> I have heard many times, that you should have your vitamin and mineral levels monitored, to check for absorption etc. Should you stop taking your vitamins before the blood test? And if so, for how long? I asked my doctor for a bone density test. He replied that I had just had blood tests done, and my circulating calcium levels were "just fine", so there was no need for a bone density test. Is this an accurate indicator of osteoporosis and bone density ? Janice. * Visit the Celiac Web Page at www.enabling.org/ia/celiac/index.html *
