Osteoporosis

I found out I have prostate cancer in July 2023. Went thru 28 proton therapy treatments. Also doing 2 years of ADT. My PCP had a bone scan done and I also have a significant case of osteoporosis.  I’m sure the Celiac gave me the osteoporosis but my hormone therapy isn’t helping any either. Still have about 16 months left of my ADT. Just want to see if anyone had and tips or information or something that’d help. Legs and lower back ache a lot. Thanks my Celiac friends.

Welcome to the forum community, @Dave R!

You certainly have a lot to cope with at the current time. Because of years of living with undiagnosed celiac disease, I have osteopenia but relatively minor fallout from it at this point. I'm about to turn 73 and have some lower back discomfort, particularly when sleeping and some kyphosis (curvature in the upper spine) which gives me neck pain from time to time but nothing that interferes a great deal with my lifestyle so far. I had a TURP about a dozen years ago with some minor incontinence but I have not had to deal with prostate cancer. Blessings to you my friend.

I hope your recovery continues, and just want to ask what type of supplementation your doctor has you on since finding out you have osteoporosis?

      Untreated celiac

      Welcome to the forum, @Sarawiththeceliac! Can you give us the reference range for your celiac test? Different labs use different reference ranges for negative vs. positive so without that a test score of 32 is not that helpful. And its that a recent test or was it done when you were 5 years old? It is imperative that you begin to observe a strict gluten-free diet. If you will do this, you can expect substantial improvement in your health. I can't promise you that you will experience 100% repair of all body damage but you can expect significant improvement overall. You will also need invest in some high potency gluten-free vitamin and mineral supplements. Celiac disease damages the lining of the small bowel. That is the area of the intestinal track where all of the vitamins and minerals contained in what we eat gets absorbed. The damage to this villous lining greatly reduces the efficiency of the absorption. In the meantime, here is a primer for getting off to a good start on the gluten free diet:

      Progesterone pills - are they gluten free??

      By Daisyskd · Posted

      I was just about to pop a progesterone pill into my mouth for the first time, before I read the label. It says, may contain soy or peanut on the cvs label. Mfr is Aurobindo. Maybe cvs just slaps this warning on all meds. Idk but now I have to dig into it.

      Thanks for replying. Hopefully biopsy will help clarify things. She’s keeping up with her gluten intake and last message from her said she’s paying the price for it!!!!
