Thank you, just placed an order. I've been looking for a different source than Amazon for Biotech.

My PCP first gave me the prescription pills for osteoporosis but I had really bad flu symptoms so she referred me to the Endocrinologist for other options. My gynecologist is the one that usually orders the bone density, now the endo does that.

I had three injections of Prolia when BCBS wanted a Bone Density to see if I improved any. There was no significant improvement so they won't approve any more. I go back in September to see the endo to see what our next step is.

I try to eat clean until after dinner so I have no gas during the day. I only eat whole foods, nothing processed with hidden ingredients. Once you find out what you can tolerate it will be easier for you. Start with good protein and good fats and build from there. A typical day for me would...

I keep a variety of sizes on hand, once you get down so far even a 5 pound gain/loss puts you in a different size. My range is from 4/6 to 8/10, small and medium.

I also use the Med Center and it does fit in my cabinet. The containers do sometimes open but not enough to be troublesome.

Different kinds of iron require different dosing. My first one was only for an hour and I had to sit for 1/2 hour afterward, this last one was an all day infusion. I believe I was there 8 hours total. My surgeon first prescribed the one that is 3 infusions but insurance wouldn't pay for it so...

I'm 11 years out and have had 2 infusions, so every 5 years so far. Even before the DS I was borderline low on iron, I take one Proferrin daily and no additional iron. My body doesn't tolerate the iron pills very well.

I have to be careful of nuts because of the same thing, are you eating any nuts?

I've increased my Vitamin A to 100,000 per day (Biotech 25,000) and my labs last month were at 70 (range is 38-98). In November of 2015 it was 44 which I thought was low, that is when I increased it. I'm 10 years out, we are all so different with vitamin needs.

Upcal D is a fine powder and would be a good alternative, it's great in milk. Only problem is constipation, I've been doing the Bone up the last few weeks. Much easier on the digestive and it's a capsule.

I always get confused with the different types of Calcium and Magnesium. Can we take all our Calcium with the hydroxyapatite type? I'm having to cycle off the Upcal D after about a month to let my body get back to normal, otherwise I look 6 months pregnant and feel bloated and uncomfortable...

Thank you for sharing what supplements your taking, my list similar but you are taking a few that I may need to add. The Stress B-50 is one of them. Here is what I'm currently taking: Bone Up 3/day (1,000 Hydroxyapatite, this is the 3 per day type also) Looking at this I'm not sure if I'm...

I know we are all different but would you share what you are taking to reverse your osteoporosis? I'm getting my third injection on Tuesday of Prolia and the insurance company wants a bone density in April to see if it's working, if so they will continue to pay for the fourth injection. Thank...

I've had 3 Prolea injections and am due the 4th this month. We won't know how effective they've been until next August when I have another bone density. I've not had any side effects from them, the other drugs I tried all gave me flu like symptoms. I think part of my problem was not taking...

My major concern is LONG-TERM results/safety. If I weren’t heavy I think I could make it to my late 80s, as most men in my family have. Has anyone (especially DS pioneers) been suffering from malnutrition, or other complications? And, if so, how likely do you think it is? I'm 10 years out and...

I don't add any B vitamins either, my B-12 remains high with 2 Centrum silver daily.

I looked it up, I'm 10 years out and my total cholesterol was 153 in 2014 and 150 in 2015, it's something I never think about.

Totally normal, white chicken and dense pork chops were so hard in the beginning. Pork chops are still hard 10 years out.

I take Bio Tech 50,000 daily with an additional 50,000 every other day. When I took 100,000 per day my D3 went up to 106 and Dr. L thought it was too high. My D3 was 85 in Feb of this year, what is the difference in the two D's? Calcium I take Upcal D 2,000 per day and 3 of the Bone Up per...
