Forteo-sometimg strange

Posted by 06111945cc @06111945cc, Oct 18 3:12am

Is it possible?
Suddenly the side effects from Forteo seem to be gone.
The only thing different I’ve done is adding a tablespoon of Kretchmer‘s wheat germ to my morning protein shake.

I’ve always been awe struck at the fact that a teeny tiny amount of a substance injected every other day could make me feel so bad.

So, is it possible that a tablespoon of Kretchmer wheat germ is the reason I can now tolerate Forteo?

Interested in more discussions like this? Go to the Osteoporosis & Bone Health Support Group.

Maybe your body adjusted to it? I know that happened to me with Tymlos, which is similar, but only by ramping the dose up slowly. Both meds are hormonal so maybe the body can accommodate over time. I can't think why wheat germ would cause a change. Do you have a theory?

Dear windyshores,

No theory.

Except to comment that we know small amounts of what the body needs can make a big difference.

How can such a small amount of Forteo make me feel so bad?

So, why couldn’t the reverse be true?

I wonder about this study…there are several errors in it (spelling, grammatical), which makes me question source/authenticity…?

That study is very interesting. Below is another interesting one pointing out the possibility of too much wheat (acid-producing) and the balance of alkalinity and acid due to food choices in relation to osteoporosis. Dr. Susan Brown talks about this on her website "Better Bones" as well as in her book "Better Bones, Better Body".

I didn't notice any glaring errors. The researchers are in China, so perhaps the translation is a little awkward in places?

They’re there - I edit for a living! But yes, likely that the translation threw a few things off…

Question everything!
This small observational RAT study proposes a possible cause for an observed response to wheat germ. The reactions traced may mitigate a more conventional view that closes with higher acidity in blood, deeming it inflammatory.
The brief only claims possibility. One, perhaps, discovered by our one woman clinical trial.
