Guest guest Posted April 24, 2004 Report Share Posted April 24, 2004 Lee, Speaking as someone who no longer stupidly washes down my calcium with my Starbucks and has it with sparkling water instead..my calcium and PTH levels are now fine *grins* I haven't stopped drinking coffee/Starbucks...I just don't take my calcium with it anymore lol... Believe me, I was at a meeting when Jo told me this, so I asked Dr K who did confirm we shouldn't take our calcium with anything caffeinated... Needless to say, he did give me the 'Well now I know why HER calcium was low and her PTH was high!' look *grins* *hugs* Anita in Denver 11/08/01 Dr Keshishian > Jo, > > What if one adds a LOT of milk to ones coffee - ala latte at > Starbucks?

Guest guest Posted April 24, 2004 Report Share Posted April 24, 2004 Anita I had no idea!! I have been washing my calcium down with coke!! (no lectures thanks Jo!) I really need to kick this habit - although I am starting to think I may need to check into a health farm for a week of detox to do it!!!!!
