well...nothing has resulted from all the feelers I threw out there...its as if no one really cares or knows anything so far anyway. Found out a little about calcium supplements tho. Calcium in Centrum as in the Tums Ultra I use is calcium carbonate and shouldn't be given with the "bulk" of their salad or on "full stomach" lemme know if you want the link ;-) that calcium citrate(which I went & picked up yesterday) "Citracal" (sans the D3) ...is the better/best calcium supplement to give to your igs...as far as absorption. Then Centrum.....gosh its like who/why is the Lederle company so tight-lipped about its contents and amts of sodium and lead?(it does have alot of tin in it but I think that differs from lead content.)
Can't figure it out. Then Im reading about Uric Acid...low purine/High acidic diet...(which I have Juana on now)still trying to find out about adding sodium bicarb to water once in awhile...nothing yet from the field researchers atsci.bio.herp maybe its just not that important as say identifying a new species ;-) Nothing yet from the e-mail I sent out to Salt Institute....*******sigh***** Juana will wind up with kidney disease and/or stones at this rate!Decided to wait on her lab and take her in one month (same time Feo's sutures are removed) so that I can see if this diet change is doing anything.If any of you guys come across anything regarding reptiles and sodium, centrum, uric acid, please let me know....I sure would appreciate it. And SUPER thanks to all the ones who have helped/tried to help so far.
