Timing of Bone Markers - how often?

Osteoporosis meds don’t always work, however, I’m wondering if your doctor has looked for the root cause of your bone loss.
For example- thyroid, parathyroid, absorption issues from gluten allergy, medications such as steroids or PPI’s, vitamin deficiencies??
I’m sure all the usual bloodwork was done, and the results were normal???
Are you already peri or post menopausal? Loss of estrogen can lead to bone loss as well.
I know it is very frustrating to take meds and not see the results you were hoping for, and it’s even more frustrating when your doctor doesn’t “hear” you!!
Keep pushing, it’s important to advocate for your health.
Take care,

Oh yes, all the lab work was done before I started Forteo. And it was all clear. I've had labs run every year since. I am post menopausal. I had gut issues that most certainly robbed me of nutrients for several years, diverticulitis and SIBO. It's been a challenge. I'm finally gaining weight back but I know I'm still lacking the proper nutrients, my diet is fairly limited.
