Thank you for posting. My endocrinologist recommended Reclast because my T score at spine is -4. I am very leery to have injection because I have nightly heartburn (while on medication) and read that heartburn is a side effect for this drug. I’m very apprehensive and would rather go the natural remedy route.

Good morning @giovi, welcome to Connect. Thank you for joining this discussion about choices for fighting and controlling osteoporosis. There are multiple directions to go. However, as you note, you have a special medical condition that needs to be considered before committing to an option.

We are all different and the newer daily injectable options appear to have one major opportunity......we can stop immediately if we run into a side effect problem. For those of us who are unable to tolerate bisphosphonates, we are just beginning to be able to measure results for the alternatives.

I am so encouraged to see responses and inquiries from Connect members. Our shared experiences are contributing to a helpful body of knowledge.

May you be safe and protected.

I was also troubled with nightly acid reflux. My doctor told me I was going to be in horrible trouble if I didn't get a handle on it. I found I was having problems with pepper and I needed to eat earlier and take digestive enzymes. The reflux seems to be under control now. But I do not use any drugs like Reclast. I am going the natural route. My DEXA scan score was -5.7. I'll be getting tested again in a month (April). I can barely wait to see if there is improvement. The fracturing stopped, so I think something is better.
