Hi all.  Two questions.  First I don't have the energy to fight with my
doctor in order to have a bone density test.  I met another celiac at a
party last night and she tells me that she is taking 2500mg of calcium
per day as recommended by her doctor.  I did see an orthopedic for back
pain and he told me that I should take 3 Tums per day and to make sure I
had vitamin D in my multi vitamin.  This is what I have been doing.  How
much calcium do we need?  Can you take too much calcium?
Secondly,  I have a question on flavored coffee.  I am assuming that the
coffee one can get in coffee shops that you grind youself is probably
suspect.  I am assuming the beans are soaked in something that could
cause us a problem.  Am I correct?  Are there any flavored coffees that
are safe for us?  I will summarize.
Thank you,
