Calcium Pyrophosphate Dihydrate Deposition (CPPD) is a condition characterized by the accumulation of calcium pyrophosphate crystals in the joints.

How Do You Keep Mineral Intake Adequate In Diet For Bones And Health?
I’m a chronic dieter with IBS. I can’t take vitamin and mineral pills because it nullifies my thyroid medicine. I’ve tried researching foods high in magnesium and calcium but I can’t find anything high enough. I don’t want to eat a ton of food to get minerals. They say our water here has high mineral content but it is brown so afraid to drink it.
Me too! I’m having to include more dairy but it runs my blood sugar up and gives me seborrhea but it’s better then what the supplements do to me,
