Given that Osteoporosis is associated with Celiac (and thus MC) and quite a few of us have bone thinning/brittle bone issues, I thought this could be useful.
In their defense, I would guess that no one else is likely to pay for such a study, because the drug companies are not going to pay for research that shows that a generic product works better than their high-dollar drugs, and most doctors seem to be quite satisfied with prescribing the bisphosphonates, they just try to ignore all the risks. I'm sure their attitude is sort of, "So what else is new? All drugs carry some risk." (Which is so very true).
Yes, D is listed as a possible side effect, but at least it hasn't been proven to cause MC, (and the bisphosphonates have indeed been proven to cause MC). Thanks for the link.
