Hi all,
I'm going to re-type the message, and hope it works out this time:
 
Osteoporosis  posting
 
I believe I am the person who posted an article on osteoporosis:
Lindh, et. al. "Screening for antibodies against gliadin in patients
with osteoporosis" JOURNAL OF INTERNAL MEDICINE, vol. 231; pages
403-406; 1992
 
"Intestinal disease might contribute to osteopenia. Measurements of IgA
antibodies to gliadin have been established as an accepted screening
procedure for detection of celiac disease. When we applied these
measurements to 92 patients with verified osteoporosis, 11 subjects (12%)
were found to have elevated levels. ..................................
......................................................................
This gives an incidence of verified celiac disease that is approximately
tenfold higher than that in the healthy population."
 
I just typed the highlights of the abstract.
 
I hope that is helpful.
