I've just been told I have osteopenia in my hips and osteoporosis in my spine. I have crohns disease, gastritis and gastroparesis. All I am doing is taking calcium with vitamin d. My doc mentioned she doesn't think I can go on any meds that are approved for osteoporosis because of my GI problems.
Is there anyone else in here with GI problems and what do you take?

Do a search here for messages from Oppann (I think that's correct name) or do a search here on Crohns. She was in the same situation as you and was able to figure out something that worked for both ailments.

Hi
I have Osteoporosis and Crohns. I had no problems taking Fosamaz except that it hasn't worked for me in 3.5 years. I just started Ferteo injections. Your doctor should allow you to be the judge if you want to try and take something. What are you taking now for Osteo & Crohns?

I'm only on calcium with vit d for the osteo. I'm on pantoloc and nothing for the crohns. I was on imuran & asacol but the new GI I went to took me off of them because my last colonoscopy was good.
