: : I'm a male with some osteoporosis, and I've been taking fosamax for about 4 months.. I notice bloating, and I'm just waiting for more symptoms. It sounds like you've done some good research on the problem. Could I ask you what is MCHC calcium and what else you take? Thank you.

: I am a newcomer to this message board. I have been on fosamax for 14 months. I had a second bonescan last month and am told that there is 20 % improvement in bone mass. I had been scared to take the stuff, but so far have had no side effects except bloating and a little weight gain, but I am believing that it is worth these if it helps.

I have been taking Fosamax for two months now and have noticed no side effects at all. I have cut out morning coffe since I don't have time for it now and only drink it occasionally, and also eliminated caffeinated soft drinks. Changed my calcium supplement to calcium as amino acid chelate with magnesium. I will interested to be retested in a year to see if any of this improves my T scores!
