BMD is evaluated by DEXA scan (dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry). \u00a0DEXA at the femoral neck and lumbar spine is considered the gold standard to confirm the diagnosis of osteoporosis. \u00a0Results are expressed as T and Z scores.\u00a0T scores compare the result with a 20 to 40 year old helathy person while \u00a0Z scores compare the result with persons in the same age group. Both\u00a0are measured in standard deviations (SD).<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">According to WHO criteria (World Health Organization), a T-score of -1 SD or greater denotes normal bone, a T-score between \u22121 to \u22122.5 SD denotes osteopenia, and a T-score of \u22122.5 or more denotes osteoporosis.<a href=\"#footnote_1_770\" id=\"identifier_1_770\" class=\"footnote-link footnote-identifier-link\" title=\"Pantaleoni S, Luchino M, Adriani A, Pellicano R, Stradella D, Ribaldone DG, Sapone N, Isaia GC, Di Stefano M, Astegiano M.

This condition responds to the complete elimination of gluten, which is the required treatment that improves both bone and gut health.<\/p>\n<ul class=\"cp_bullet green\" style=\"text-align: justify\">\n<li>Gut health is the foundation to restore ALL health. Restored health will enable you to maintain a strict gluten free diet, just as other life tasks will be easier.<\/li>\n<li>A strict gluten free diet means removing 100% of wheat, barley, rye and oats from the diet.<\/li>\n<li>Cutting out bread and other obvious sources of gluten is not good enough for recovery. Even 1\/8th teaspoon of flour or bread crumb is enough to sustain the inflammation that is damaging your small intestine, causing increased permeability (leaky gut) and allowing undigested gluten to enter your body where it can damage structures and function, and instigate immune inflammatory responses.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><strong>Correct Your Individual Nutritional Needs.<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul class=\"cp_bullet green\" style=\"text-align: justify\">\n<li>Eat foods that can replenish missing nutrients.

Data sources: Pubmed, Scopus, Web of Science and Cochrane Library in January 2014 for studies of celiac disease and bone fractures. Study selection: Observational studies of any design, in which bone fracture outcomes were compared in individuals with and without coeliac disease were included. In the meta-analyses of case-control and cross-sectional studies, bone fractures were almost twice as common in individuals with a clinically diagnosed celiac disease as in those without the disease. In the meta-analyses of prospective studies, celiac disease at baseline was associated with a 30% increase (95% CI: 1.14, 1.50) in the risk of any fracture and a 69% increase in the risk of hip fracture (95% CI: 1.10, 2.59).

Fifty-four (24 male) newly diagnosed celiac patients ages 18-50 were included. Thirty-nine (72.2 %) presented with intestinal symptoms and the rest with extraintestinal symptoms. Low vitamin D levels were seen in 11 (20.3 %) patients and elevated iPTH (secondary hyperparathyroidism) in 12 (22.2 %) patients. Twenty-one (39 %) patients had normal BMD, 23 (43 %) had osteopenia (T-score -1 to -2.5), and 10 (18 %) patients had osteoporosis (T-score &lt;-2.5). A statistically significant association was seen between BMD and age of onset, duration of illness, serum tTGA levels, serum vitamin D levels, and cellular changes seen on biopsy. BMD should be measured in all newly diagnosed celiac patients and calcium and vitamin D supplementation included in the treatment regimen.<a href=\"#footnote_11_770\" id=\"identifier_17_770\" class=\"footnote-link footnote-identifier-link\" title=\"Chakravarthi SD, Jain K, Kochhar R, Bhadada SK, Khandelwal N, Bhansali A, Dutta U, Nain CK, Singh K.

Researchers present a series of patients with histologically verified osteomalacia due to vitamin D depletion to emphasize the need for more careful and systematic surveillance of patients at risk of this metabolic bone disease.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">Between 1989 and 1994, 17 patients with osteomalacia due to vitamin D depletion were seen in the Bone and Mineral Division of Henry Ford Health System, Detroit. All patients had a transiliac bone biopsy. Biochemical indexes of vitamin D nutritional status, parathyroid function, markers of bone turnover, and bone mineral density were assessed at the time of bone biopsy. The duration of symptoms, the lag between the cause of vitamin D depletion and the development of symptoms, and the x-ray findings were recorded. Osteomalacia was suspected by the referring physician in only 4 of the 17 patients, although a gastrointestinal disorder that can lead to vitamin D depletion was present in every patient. Thirteen of the patients had sustained at least one osteoporotic fracture (wrist, spine, or hip), and most had low appendicular and axial bone mineral density. All patients had one or more biochemical abnormalities consistent with vitamin D depletion. In 4 patients, a progressive rise in the serum alkaline phosphatase level was recorded but was not investigated until the patient presented with bone pain, muscle weakness, or fracture.<a href=\"#footnote_12_770\" id=\"identifier_20_770\" class=\"footnote-link footnote-identifier-link\" title=\"Basha B, Rao DS, Han ZH, Parfitt AM.
