That was the problem, I had no GI symptoms at all. It's called silent celiacs and apparently quite common. I was shocked to get this diagnosis, as I ate pasta and bread practically every day. My symptoms were unexplained weight loss, severe osteoporosis, multiple fractures and then neuropathy in both feet. I finally found a doctor who was able to connect all the dots, thank God!

So sorry to hear this for you. Thankfully you did find a doctor who took the time to diagnose you. Did you have lab tests that showed you had Celiac and than an Endoscopy to confirm this? I have gone to multiple MD's to find the source of my Osteoporosis and have been on several medications with no improvement. It is very frustrating. I can imagine being in shock after finding this out. I think many people in our community of Osteoporosis might have this condition also and not know it. Thank you for sharing your story.
