On Forteo 18 months - high CTX?

Good morning @cat30064, fellow Forteo user here. At which month of Forteo treatment did you have Dexa scan? If your Dexa includes TBS, do you see any improvements with its scores? May I ask the cause of your osteoporosis; was it due to primary, idiopathic, or a secondary cause? If due to a secondary cause, was the underlying cause reasonably controlled during your treatment? Thanks

24 mos of Forteo. My Dexa did include TBS. I had no gains on Forteo, but remained stable at -5.00
Feel confident my Osteoporosis was exacerbated by SIBO and the lack of absorbing proper nutrition for about 1 year.

I had my DXA at 14 months. No TBS software. But 2 years ago I had a REMS (Echolight) scan that showed good bone strength. My cause of osteoporosis is most likely age, no parathyroid issues. I will be 70 soon. I’m conflicted whether to stay on Forteo or try Reclast.
