Has anyone lowered their CTX score naturally?

@mcallister1002 I also have hypercalciuria, idiopathic in nature. This was recently discovered after 12 years of osteopenia/osteoporosis. I done both the non-med and medicine approach but no one thought to check for this until I started seeing an endocrinologist last year.
I see my endocrinologist next week and suspect I’ll be put on a thiazide. I’m looking forward to seeing if it helps in addition to everything else I am doing.
Hope you can get back on track and get your CTX down. Mine was the high 300s just before I started Evenity last year.

@oopsiedaisy Thank goodness they finally found it. Some of these doctors are learning just like the rest of us. Every PCP I have had never used the bone marker tests. It was when I went to an Endocrinologist that it was discovered. I thought 300 range was within the guideline for not fracturing. What range are you aiming for? How are you doing on Evenity?

What good news. Hypercalciuria, can be very treatable.
This is the reason the first step that we all should take is to see a good endocrinologist.
Ai google outlook after checking standard practices and research:
"Treating hypercalciuria can significantly improve and often reverse, or "resolve," related bone density loss (osteoporosis or osteopenia) by correcting the calcium imbalance that causes bone degradation. Using thiazide diuretics to reduce urinary calcium excretion often increases bone mineral density (BMD) and reduces fracture risk, particularly when combined with therapies like bisphosphonates."
