Thank you, and good luck to you. I unfortunately have been to many Rheumatologists for my Osteoporosis and haven't had the best luck in finding a good one in my area. As far as Endocrinologists around where I live they don't seem to want to see patients with this. I am currently taking Evenity and if I have no improvement after the treatment I will need to do extensive research and possibly travel to find a MD who can help me.

Thought I'd reply on the celiac front. I was diagnosed with osteoporosis (-3.6 in spine; osteopenia in hips) and was frankly shocked. I couldn't get any answers from any doctor as to why this had happened. No real history of osteo in family. They put me on fosamax and sent me on my way. That was about 20 years ago. Well, not being one to let things go and whined and complained for about a year and one doc finally sent me to a rheumatologist. He ran a bunch of tests and I figured it had to be a non cancerous tumor on the renal gland because I sure didn't have any of the symptoms of the other things he tested for. I was pretty shocked when he came back with celiac. I, too, am a silent celiac I have no gastrointestinal symptoms at all. But I should say celiac has a variety of symptoms I know one man who only had anemia. I've been gluten free since then. The villi in the intestine are 'flattened' and can't absorb nutrients i.e. calcium. Since a whole lot of your body requires calcium it takes it from your bones. Celiac was thought at one time to be rare like 1:5000 but I think now it's 1:141. It may not be something a doc thinks of. But it is a simple blood test.
