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.

Then would the assumption be that your gut issues were at the root cause of your bone loss? I’m guessing that’s the case along with being post menopausal.
Are you taking supplements such as vitamin D, k2, magnesium, and calcium to make up for what you may not get from diet?
Maybe it would be beneficial if you saw a nutritional expert or a naturopathic doctor ? Your lumbar spine is pretty low so it makes sense your doctor would put you on an anabolic.
Sometimes osteoporosis meds are necessary, but there are also other lifestyle changes that can go a long way to helping.
I know it’s a hard road. It’s good if you have people to chat with about your concerns. This site is great for that, lots of helpful and knowledgeable people.
