Guest guest Posted February 19, 2006 Report Share Posted February 19, 2006 Dear Rita; My son doesn't take any extra calcium tablets; but he does eat yoghurt regularly, and we think this will be taking care of most of his calcium needs. I hope your son is doing well. seems to be stable; he has not had any intestinal or liver problems for the last couple of years. We are anxiously awaiting results of his latest blood work. Thanks for the kind words about the newsletter. Best wishes, Dave (father of (20); PSC 07/03; UC 08/03) Does your son take any calcium supplement? If your son doesn't take calcium, has it ever been suggested?> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted February 21, 2006 Report Share Posted February 21, 2006 , I always have yoghurt at home but my son doesn't eat it. Perhaps if I mention to him that eating some may be a substitute for calcium tablets (or at least one of two tablets he takes daily) he may start eating the yoghurt. My son seems to be stable at present. Rita Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted February 23, 2006 Report Share Posted February 23, 2006 I wanted to add my two cents here … my daughter does take calcium pills. However, it was recommended by a nutritionist that we see, not her GI.

Guest guest Posted February 24, 2006 Report Share Posted February 24, 2006 -, The supplements my son takes (folic acid, calcium, fish oil, multivite), I learnt about on this site and then talked with his GI about it and he said OK. I can tell you that I am one of the people who really appreciate this site and what I learn about what is happening. I got his ursa upped from what I read here. Sometimes I feel that I should take a break because it tends to consume me and I get very depressed when I hear of a loss or the negative effects of the disease on people but I just have not been able to stay away. rita > > LINDA > > (Mom of Suzanne, 16; IBD 1/04; PSC 3/04) > > > > _____ > > From: [mailto: ] On > Behalf Of > Sent: Sunday, February 19, 2006 11:54 PM > To: > Subject: Re: concerned/Rita - Calcium question > > > > Dear Rita; > > My son doesn't take any extra calcium tablets; but he does eat > yoghurt regularly, and we think this will be taking care of most of > his calcium needs.
