Carol - are you gluten free? Those sensitive to gluten have 'itis' reactions and one has to stop throwing gasoline on the fire.

Barb - about more calcium... How's your afib? If you don't have any, then a bit of calcium supplementation might be in order if your diet is poor. I found that I had to stop taking calcium supplements as that caused arrhythmia. In hindsight, undoubtedly that was because I was marginal in intracellular magnesium and that allowed calcium to dominate my heart cells... calcium is excitatory.by Jackie - GENERAL HEALTH FORUM
Barb - any website that has something to sell as a means of income will appear to be overly zealous and often overly protective of anything else 'out there' that might compete or take income away.
