Michelle, add my thanks to the bunch. I had read about the loss of calcium for our CAH children. As I had posted a few weeks ago,when I told my doctor that I was giving my son TUMS to help with the calcium loss, he looked at me and snickered. I then pointed out to him that it is high in sodium/magniseum and comes in tropical fruit flavors that my son loves. In addition, if any of your children are prone to stomach aches from their meds, they can take a Tums prior to taking the meds and it might help there too. The doctor actually told me that it was a great idea and that he would suggest it to others. I wish you good luck in your dietary endeavors and will pray that your bones strengthen and gain calcium through your regiment. Good luck, Lynn
