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?

      Momma married a bread baker

      Thank you for your kindness. I have just begun CPTSD treatment & it's so hard to go through all this history realizing I could have had a healthier life had my mother had my best interest as she did her own needs and desires. I often thought she had kids to work for her. She did the bills and the laundry. She wore the pants in the family, I knew that & I know my stepfather was elated to tell me no. He had no interest in taking care of me ever. And he doesn't even understand that he caused these horrible health issues of my mothers and myself. His ignorance is bliss. He said he didn't want to hear about my health issues. Thanks again for being here and responding. It gives me a place of safety and understanding I haven't had for years. thanks, Jane

      A year and a half of test confusion...

      Thank you.  I certainly take it seriously, no matter what my diagnosis is, and I do a lot of my own research also.  I just want to make sure I'm doing everything "right" as much as I can without jeopardizing any test result accuracy since this may be my last shot at getting an official diagnosis since I plan to go fully gluten-free afterwards! Yup, I am certainly making a current effort to eat plenty of it!  Not only for test accuracy, but I figure I may as well enjoy it now just in case it's my last go at it also.

      Alprazolam gluten free?

      By CeliacPsycho246 · Posted

      @Scott Adams I would say it means , no it is not verified gluten free. I am extremely sensitive and I also have OCD. So that answer is entirely too vague for me. However , if it suits others then I am happy for those individuals

      Have you considered eating plenty of gluten from now until your capsule endoscopy? If you truly have celiac disease that would increase the chances of damage being seen.

      I just want to reinforce what Scott said and that is we have tended to think in these neat little black and white categories of it's either celiac or NCGS when in reality it may not be quite that neat. There's just a lot we don't know and the immune system is very complex. I often wonder if I had been gluten free as a child if I would have avoided developing celiac disease as an adult. I think there is also this misconception that if you have NCGS, gluten is not harmful, it just creates discomfort and inconvenience.
