<<Disclaimer: Verify this information before applying it to your situation.>> Both the WebMD and Reuters Health sites report on a study in the current issue of the Archives of Internal Medicine. This study shows that 1% of post menopausal women without osteoporosis, but 4-5% of such women *with* osteoporosis, have celiac disease. This seems to be confirmation of the 1% incidence of CD in normal populations reported elsewhere. There are also interesting findings about improvement in bone density after a year of gluten free eating. Also some suggestion of need to test all osteoporotic post-menopausal women for CD! *Support summarization of posts, reply to the SENDER not the CELIAC List*
