I will share a little hint here : Most vitamins on the market are worthless - just down the drain....and our food is so modified that it is not very worthwhile either.... but there is hope and people are voting with their dollars and information to make it a reality I am going to do a post about Vitamins, I was attempting to put it up today but am waiting for permission to use a logo and a term….I am rather like the Canary in the Coal mine about Supplements….and particularly working at getting nutrition into my family with Celiac Disease and my mum with arthritis related wheat intolerance….

We really need to take a holistic approach to our health. Yours and Betsy's posts here on Silver & Grace are helping to promote that message. @Davina – it just shows how intricate our body is, in that your gluten intolerance impacted your bone health.

We eat healthy well rounded meals, but given the quality of our food these days it likely isn't enough. @Patricia – I should probably start taking supplements.

You are so fortunate to have found out sooner rather than later. My grandmother had the “dowager’s hump” too. I've been diagnosed with the early stages of osteoporosis in my 40s, and have seen an improvement since going on the gluten-free diet. Thankfully you too have the option to turn things around; and through no lack of effort on your part either. Nothing's gonna hold you down. Hi Eliza and Betsy.

With a body usable Vit C, magnesium and D combo, I am able to keep my family arthritis away and my bone strength is legendary so that is great news for me. I too can not digest dairy - so it is hard to get enough nutrients from some foods and removing wheat (because my family has celiac disease and I do not wish to cook 5 different meals 3 times a day) has cut way back on the inflammation problems Wow since we started studying women to figure out women's health (during the Clinton Years) we have come a long way baby! Thank you for sharing your story. Great post Betsy and so good that you have recovery results and not permanent problems.

Thank you for sharing your story.

I didn't realize that. One of the reasons why I love hosting this Graceful Women's series.

Real life stories are much better at hitting home than general information articles. @Betsy – thrilled to have you as one of Silver & Grace’s Graceful Women.

I love milk, and I do weight bearing exercises. But even at that, my doctor recommended that I start taking Vitamin D supplements ... just in case. I have to admit that I am not very good at taking them. Betsy's post is a reminder to make this a daily habit. @Wendi – it is a bit of a wake up call, eh?
