Anyone Use Micalcin?

I was diagnosed with osteoporosis 4 months before discovering I have celiac disease. I took Boniva for 3 months and had a bad reaction. At the time the Dr. discovered my celiac disease she also discovered a large hiatal hernia so Boniva, Fosamax, etc. is now forbidden. I am only taking calcium, Vit D and magnesium at this point, but my GP wants me to go on Miacalcin so I don't lose anymore bone mass before I begin to heal and absorb calcium again. Has anyone had any experience with this, also? Thanks for your help.

I was diagnosed with Osteoporosis at age 25. I took fosamax for about 6 years. I also took Miacalcin for about a year. For that year I was taking both fosamax and miacalcin. I didn't have any problem with either drug. The only thing with the miacalcin was that it made my nose run a bit when I first started taking it (that went away, though). And you have to remember which nostril you are supposed to use because you switch every day. :)

Unfortunately, I have not been back to see if my bone mass has increased. I probably should do that. I am not taking either drug any more.

Hi Cruelshoes! Thanks for the info. I'm going to give it a try. The dr. said there are no side effects, so I guess it can't hurt since the oral drugs are no good for me.

      Other symptoms that Celiac Disease can cause but resemble other diseases so the cause may be misdiagnosed. What Are the Symptoms of Celiac Disease?

      Thanks Scott. They are gluten-free but cross contaminated.

      Hernia symptoms after gluten exposure

      By cristiana · Posted

      Hi there @MCAyr I have a small umbilical hernia which came about during my second pregnancy.   I can just about see it, and feel it, when I stand or sit, but it is far less noticeable when I lie down.  I always know when I am putting on weight because I can get pain and burning near the site, funnily enough not on the hernia itself but either side!  I would imagine bloating could cause the same effect as weight gain. In my case I don't think it is my bowel protruding but a bit of fat  - sorry,  I realise this isn't painting a very pretty picture.  But in truth it is scarcely noticeable.  It has never really got bigger in size. I was rather hoping that it could be operated on but here in the UK they don't seem to operate on every hernia anymore.  My GP isn't remotely worried about it. In a way, I should be thankful - it is like an early warning system that I need to go on a diet! Cristiana

      The hernia description would likely be unrelated to celiac disease, but you'd need to get it checked out by your doctor to be sure it's a hernia.
