Join A Study on The Effect of A Gluten-free Diet On Bone Density and Quality 
  
Are you newly diagnosed with celiac disease? 
If so, you may be eligible to join a study being done at Columbia Presbyterian University 
Medical Center examining the impact of celiac disease on your skeleton and following the 
effect of a gluten-free diet on density and quality.  
Osteoporosis is one of the most common complications of celiac disease. And, 
approximately 75% of newly diagnosed patients with CD have some degree of bone loss.  

Dr. Elizabeth Shane, Professor of Medicine at the Metabolic Bone Diseases Unit is working 
with Dr. Peter Green, Director of the Celiac Disease Center to examine the effect of a 
gluten-free diet on bone growth and regeneration.  They will be utilizing a new machine that 
can actually "see" the structure and matrix of the inside of the bone as well as its density.   

If you are: 
1- Not yet on a gluten-free diet or have been on the diet for no more than ONE month
2- Able to travel to Columbia University Medical Center Columbia Presbyterian in NYC 
3- Interested in more information,
