Fosamax, Alendronate, is a newly available drug used to treat
postmenopausal women with osteoporosis.  It does so by blocking
resorption of bone. It may be important to make sure that a celiac
individual does not have osteomalacia, or hyperparathyroidism before
starting someone on the drug, as it might make it worse.  the issue of

This only one issue to be considered The potential interaction with
