Would like to know if anyone else has Osteopporsis and what they are doing to help reverse it?

I am new to this way of chat so it might take time to get use to it. So far I am doing well.

I have lymphatic drainage massage weekly and that has helped with many things. I take supplements,enzymes and eat scd legal 100%. I do not cheat and for the first time in my life have so much energy, and can eat without throwing up. :blink:

I am working out with a trainer for weight bearing exercises. A occasional massage does me well. Has anyone been able to turn there osteo around being on scd? I do know Rome was not built in a day and it takes time... :(

Good Morning

I'm so glad to see someone post on MLD.

I was dx'd after getting celluitis.

I also have OA. My PT did not go well and am trying so hard to find a new PT.

I need help with daily wraping as 4 pairs of compression stockings and $450 later can find stockings that help. I did get the pump. This has only been dx'd since June 06 and pump for 1 month. could us ANY AND ALL HELP YOU CAN GIVE ME.

I'm hoping that others will join who have the MLD issue but no one joined a thread but a couple.

If you want to PM me please feel free to do so.

Also have you found any info on line about wraping with pictures..etc on compression? Been to the NLN and stocking sites. Have you found a book that helped? Did you PT give you any handouts.. mine did not.

thanks in advance. Judy in Philly

PS did you find the scd diet worked better for you and are you a celiac?????

I am a 55-year-old male with osteopenia. Was dx with Celiac disease about 3 years ago but I know in hind site the initial onset of the disease was at least 16 years ago. Primary care doc didn't have a clue why my liver enzymes were elevated but now I know that celiac disease produces that effect in about 20% people who have the disease. I assume the bone density loss is due to the celiac disease. I have been on Fosamax for about 2/12 years. Bone scans have shown that I am still losing bone density, esp. in my femoral neck, but hopefully, the Fosomax is at least slowing it down. If I had been diagnosed soon after the onset of the disease, things with my bones would probably be much better but can't change that now. Making up bone density loss is much more likely if you are young. I have also developed pronounced chiphosis (that runs in my mother's family, though) and some mild scoliosis.

I'm 40 years old, just went gluten free a month ago after 20 years of problems. Had a bone density scan today, I have osteopenia. I have been given Boniva and told to take calcium. I'm concerned that i"m not absorbing the calcium yet since I'm so recent on the diet. I too am hoping to reverse or AT LEAST slow the bone thinning.......

someone just started a new thread on this and I started one on calcium rich soups.

Clay- I'm not familiar with the lympatic massage. How is the SCD going? I would think all the yogurt would help.

Judy - Hope you are feeling better!

      Celiac flare years after diagnosis

      Bread has about 8 g of protein per 100 g, so a piece of bread weighing 125 mg contains 10 mg of gluten. Bread has a density of about 0.25 g/ml, so 0.5 ml of bread contains 10 mg of gluten - i.e. a bread ball 1 cm in diameter. I think it would be unlikely to ingest this much from throwing bread out for the birds.

      Sciatica came to mind for me as well. You might want to get some imaging done on your C-spine.

      Maybe this is sciatica? When mine acts up a little, I switch my wallet from one back pocket to the other. this isn't a substitute for more serious medical help, but for me it's a bandaid.

      Terrible Neurological Symptoms

      OK so I just learned something completely new about this for the first time in years, that is REALLY WEIRD. One of my nerves that likes to "burn" or whatever is doing it every time I bow my head! I mean it is completely repeatable. Literally every time. Once my head goes beyond a certain angle *boom*. Nerve goes mental (lower right leg pain). What the...

      Zaalouk moroccan eggplant salad

      I've only made this a couple of times but it's really easy and I love the flavor. If you can, use all of the ingredients to get the full palette of flavors. I use fresh or canned tomatoes and I don't worry about peeling them. If you don't have harissa, there are replacement recipes online. If you don't have the greens, I suggest adding a little chopped...

One of my nerves that likes to "burn" or whatever is doing it every time I bow my head! I mean it is completely repeatable. Literally every time. Once my head goes beyond a certain angle *boom*. Nerve goes mental (lower right leg pain). What the hell. I've never seen a direct trigger such as this before that I can recall. The pain was the usual type I get from this problem - I suspect somehow the head movement was interrupting descending inhibition processes, causing the pain to leak through somehow.

      I've only made this a couple of times but it's really easy and I love the flavor. If you can, use all of the ingredients to get the full palette of flavors. I use fresh or canned tomatoes and I don't worry about peeling them. If you don't have harissa, there are replacement recipes online. If you don't have the greens, I suggest adding a little chopped baby spinach or celery leaves to add a dash of green color to this red dish. Best eaten in first couple days because flavor tends to fade. Leftovers are still good, but not as vibrant. Ingredients 2 medium eggplants, partially peeled and cut into cubes (original recipe says 1 in, but I prefer 1/2 to 3/4 in) 2 tomatoes, peeled and crushed 4 garlic cloves, finely chopped or minced 1 tablespoon fresh flat-leaf parsley, chopped 1 tablespoon fresh cilantro, chopped ¼ cup extra virgin olive oil 2 tablespoons spicy harissa (I use Mina brand) 1 teaspoon cumin 1 teaspoon paprika ½ teaspoon black pepper 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar or lemon juice 1 tablespoon tomato paste (optional) Salt to taste Preparation     • Heat olive oil in skillet or pot over medium heat. Add all ingredients and cook for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally. Cover and cook on low heat for an additional 20 minutes, stirring occasionally.       • Serve warm or cold as a side or with bread for dipping. Enjoy!
