Thx for your comments ..... Diagnosed 2 mos ago with Osteoporosis. GP dr suggested Prolia.
Have taken calcium w mag / zinc/ D3 for years. I started taking Algae Cal (4 gel caps a day) ordered out of Vanc BC (has boron & K2 in it). Has good reviews re helping building bone density.
I also have microscopic lymphocytic colitis diagnosed 1 yr ago - gastro doc put me on Budesonide 8 wks on / 8 off. Then switched me to Azathioprine at the lowest dose. In my research I read those RXs thin bone density. I'm off the Azathioprine by choice. Those 2 RX's calm the bad diarrhea that comes with Colitis. Up until taking those RXs I had pretty strong bones. I'm in ND so only 2 Endocrinologists are in the state 400 miles away from me so I'm looking to go to Billings MT to meet with an Endo dr there & get their opinion how to cope with Colitis & my diagnosis of Osteoporosis. They fight against each other if I stay on Budesonide & try to build bone density at the same time....grrrr
