This is a study I was referred to. I am currently working with my gastroenterologist to wean myself off Omeprazole which is a ppi.
Are you menopausal and if so is this the primary cause of your bone loss as it is for most women or have you been tested for other possible causes/contributors? Are you on hormone replacement?
Melioguide.com is one good resource for exercising with bone loss.
Osteoboston has wonderful presentations from experts in various fields related to osteoporosis.
Glad you are here. Most of us here seem to have found that doing our own research helps us to be better advocates for our health.

I have take alendronate, forteo, evenity and Prolia. No noticeable side effects from any.
Best bone gains were from Evenity.
@gravity3 I also have weaned myself mostly off of the PPI Omeprazole because of my osteoporosis. I now take one famotidine at bedtime, along with 1/4 up to a full Tums-like antacid depending on how acid my stomach is feeling.
I go back on the omeprazole when travelling usually.

I am eight years into post-menopause. I was never offered any hormone replacement , because I have a family history of heart disease. I am still suffering from occasional hot flashes and horrible interrupted sleep.
My GP has not tested for other causes.
I am trying to get educated as much as I can. Based on many of the posts I’m seeing on different boards, it seems incredibly difficult to improve t-scores without drugs.
I am terribly worried and scared of the side effects of these drugs.
