Enteropathic Osteoporosis

Enteropathic Osteoporosis
Researching into the influence of the gastrointestinal track on bone health has provided surprising links between these two systems. Every 30 seconds someone with osteoporosis breaks a bone, and osteoporosis is second only to cardiovascular disease as a global health problem. If you’re a 45 years old woman, your risk of an osteoporotic fracture is greater than your combined risk of breast, uterine and ovarian cancer. One often overlooked driver of decreased bone density and weaker bone is gastrointestinal dysfunction and medications for gastrointestinal disorders. Malabsorption, dysbiosis and chronic inflammation are underlying drivers.
