<<Disclaimer: Verify this information before applying it to your situation.>> I agree that Osteoporosis can be a problem with a lot of Celiacs. We are foolish if we do not check it out--just like we check out the products to be free of gluten. If the malabsorption caused you to not get the calcium your body needs, etc., that can be a result. I had a bone density test about 5 years ago--long before I was diagnosed with Celiac. I just happened to have a doctor that believes in checking for bone density. The test is absolutely harmless. You do not even have to undress!! You lay on a table and a machine moves over the top of you without touching you. The only bad part is the bill--but that isn't as bad as ignoring the results--the bill isn't that bad. When my density test was reviewed, I was like an elderly woman--way off the chart. I was in my late 40's. That was the point I was placed on replacement hormones and 3 calcium tablets a day. I am excited that new medicine is here and more coming that can possibly restore some of the bone density. This is definitely a topic for this list. I do believe it can go with the Celiac problem. I did not then, nor now, appear to have any bone problem at all. We have a gal in our support group who is in a lot of pain and has to be careful about even riding in a car for fear of going over bumps that could break a bone. She has Osteoporosis. I think we need to take it seriously and not end up on that track. Have a great day. -----Sharon in Kansas
