Holy cow. Unless you are a gymnast, obviously something is not right here.

Are you TOTALLY off gluten, if you are gluten intolerant? Unfortunately, "gluten-lite" can result in most (if not all)of the same damage that the normal gluteny diet can cause.

Gluten intolerance, in my opinion WILL lead to celiac (as diagnosed by villi damage) if you keep eating gluten. In your case, it sounds like you already may have leaky gut. At any rate, for some reason, it sounds like you may not be properly absorbing minerals like calcium.

If your calcium level is actually elevated, then you should rule out multiple myeloma (Open Original Shared Link) but I would think that you are younger than most who get that, plus the broken bones in that one seem to occur more in the back and the ribs.

I would, if he doesn't want to do one (and I don't know why he wouldn't) the person to ask next would be your ob-gyn.

I would. It maybe that the bone is weakened from the first break but better to check this out - than not. Also check serum levels of calcium and if too high - Parathyroidism. My cousin at 55 has fractured her kneecap by ONLY rolling her ankle over one day when walking. After 2 months it still wasn't getting better so now she is in a wheel chair for 2 more months and may need a knee replacement as the bone is STILL not healing. She is having monthly MRIs and the bone has only healed 20%.

She is 'wheat intolerant' ( Dr told her this as blood test for Celiac was normal) and hasn't been that strict about Gluten. I have now told her of the Celiac / Osteoporous link and the links to HypoThyroid ( which she has ) , and Pernicious Anaemia ( which she has ) and the family genetics. She is now believing me that she may be Celiac.

I would definitely request the bone scan. I requested one just b/c I was in my forties and wanted to make sure I was ok. To my surprise, I was told I had osteopenia due to my celiac. I have since broken my foot and it took several months to heal and it still causes me pain on a daily basis. :(

I certainly would. If your bone are not as dense as they should be you can still do something about it now before the problem gets more serious.

      Nausea

      I have trouble with nausea. It often starts when I’m anxious about something (home repairs, sick dog) but continues long after the home is repaired or the dog is healthy again. When it happens I eat less and lose weight. My gastroenterologist suggested ginger or peppermint tea. I don’t know if that will work or not because I haven't had the problem since she...

      Nicotine Gum For Gluten Symptoms.. Am I Crazy?

      Of course my son is on a 100% gluten free diet. I wish his symptoms were not debilitating as there are right now. He cannot work, even when a miniscule of cross contamination occurs. It's not just GI distress, but intense fatigue, brain fog, depression, anxiety, insomnia, etc. It's literally neurological inflammation. Not to be taken lightly here. We...

      Nicotine Gum For Gluten Symptoms.. Am I Crazy?

      Have you tried AN-PEP enzymes, for example, GlutenX (who is a sponsor here)? A lot of research has shown that it can break down small amounts of gluten in the stomach, before it reaches the intestines. It might be a better approach than risking nicotine addiction, and the questionable research around this. I also hope that he’s trying to be 100% Gluten-F...

      Nausea

      Hi all I was diagnosed Coeliac a few years ago and follow a gluten free diet. The list of foods that I can eat without a problem grows shorter on a weekly basis. [I also have diabetes and asthma also]. BUT the reason I am posting this is because I seem to struggle with nausea quite a lot, which is really quite debilitating, and I was wondering...

      Hello  I'm not sure what to think . Seems no matter what I do I get sick. I had some yogurt with only 2 grams of sugar and is labeled gluten free ...the strawberry version seemed to really set me off My jaw is burning as well as my stomach and my feet.  Horrible pain..plus acid reflux and nausea... sensitivity to touch pain. ..yikes !! I don't know if it's from the lactose in the yogurt or if I'm getting an ulcer  This condition can make you question yourself quite a bit.  Then if you are not sure the anxiety comes 😞 Does any of these symptoms sound familiar to anyone? The neuropathy is quite intense.  What do you eat or drink after this happens  Open to suggestions  Thank you
