How to Maintain Proper Nutrition and Bone Health in Celiac Disease Patients

For adults, certain tests must be done first to fully determine how quick the bones can heal. Testing the calcium and vitamin D levels, parathyroid hormone, and bone density is normally done via dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry, and this will be repeated for about a year. One objective of this test is to determine if the patient has osteoporosis, so that they can give the medication needed. If the bone is found to deteriorate after a year, a Bisphosphonates medication will be done to stop osteoclasts from destroying the bones.
