[tri-med] Re: Jude/bone density

<<No, Ryan has not been diagnosed yet with osteoporosis.
we see the ortho again a week from this Monday to check
him. i plan to speak to him about all this. the nutritionist
had wanted us to add  a calcium tablet with vitamin D to his
diet. but i had a difficult time finding one that i could
crush up that wouldn't' clog his tube or the syringe i was
trying to push it through.>>

Mary,

Vitamin D increases the absorption of calcium.  I'd add
Magnesium too, as it is essential to bone formation &
metabolism. (It also helps prevents kidney stone formation.
Threw that in since it seems to be a common thread lately
on the lists).
