I was not diagnosed with celiac until I was 37.  Now, at age 42 I went for a
bone density test on a whim and lo and behold I have osteoporosis.  This
ironically, after a life of drinking, but not absorbing milk.  It is unclear
since this was my first  bone density test whether I have actually improved
since my celiac diagnosis.  Don't you think my internist should have
recommended this on his own ? Is this common in celiacs ?
  The advice was to take Vitamin D and 1000mil. of calcium for one year.  Have
another bone density test and then decide if more aggressive steps need to be
taken.  Anyone with any experience with this I would love to hear from you.
Also, are Freeda's vitamins the one people have posted as gluten free ?  I
will summarize osteoporosis mail. Thanks, Diane Smith.
