<<Disclaimer: Verify this information before applying it to your situation.>> 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.
