Osteoporosis @ the age of 18? |
I Have Crohn's Diseas witch is treated with steriods alot of times...I was once on it for a year straight...Now they think I have osteoporosis....Isnt that a disease a older women would get????Any other young women have osteoporosis? Because Crohn's speeds up the rate at which food is sent thru the system, calcium, which takes longer to be absorbed, is not allowed the chance to reinforce bone ( an RN could tell you more here; I just have a friend with Crohn's). So it's important both to take in extra calcium AND treat your Crohn's, not just with meds but with diet. I doubt very much it would be Osteoporosis at your age but there are many other diseases that might affect bone density. You really need to get it checked out by a medic tho as it sounds potentially serious. I have a friend who had Crohn's disease and was told she needed a hysderectomy. She ended up going to another doctor who told her she'd need a partial one. On a role she went to a herbalist who gave her herbs to take, cut all alcohol out of her diet, gave her diet and exercise and sleep regimine and voila, no more chrohn's. I know she gets plenty of calcium and does weight-bearing exercises and I've heard her say she's concerned with osteoprosis, but I don't know if that's why. |
