<<Disclaimer: Verify this information before applying it to your situation.>> I was diagnosed with Celiac Sprue May '96. As may others have expressed, I would like to thank the people who run this listserve and those who take the time to respond to the rest of us. You truly are a lifeline. I have recently been diagnosed with very low bone density. I was told I am at high risk for osteoporatic fractures later in life (I don't know how much later I am 48 now) and that taking calcium will mostly maintain what I have. Since I am in the 5th percentile, or 2 standards deviation from matched age group, I find this very upsetting. Is there anyone out there that can give me some guidance on this. You can respond to me at [log in to unmask] to the listserve if you think others would want to read it. Thank you in advance. Karen
