@ceciliamarypatriciafrancis Reclast is an anti-resorptive which means it reduces bone turnover, which leads to denser bone. If taken too long, that means the bone is denser but of lower quality, since new bone is not being made. It coats the bones after Tymlos or Forteo (or Evenity) locking in the gains from those meds.

Reclast does NOT contain chemo. It is use to prevent bone loss during hormonal breast cancer treatment, and is thought to also have preventative qualities against metastasis to bones.

@ans I have been gluten and dairy free for decades. It does help with inflammation. However, my simplistic view of causes of osteoporosis for many of us (barring steroid use, or parathyroid issues) is loss of estrogen at menopause and living much longer than people used to 100 years ago!
