      Fosamax is a first generation "bone rebuilder" and I have heard there are newer and better things on the market now. I assume Reclast falls in the second category and gets better reviews according to this website: https://www.drugs.com/compare/fosamax-vs-reclast I think some bone rebuilding can happen when a celiac faithfully begins to practice gluten free eating. How much may depend on a number of factors, not the least of which may be the person's age. May we ask how old you are? Gender may also play a part. What are your reservations concerning Reclast as opposed to Fosamax? And does Reclast pose less risk for bleeds/ulcers than Fosamax? I was diagnosed with celiac disease at age 50 and DEXA scans done at that time showed osteopenia. I am male and 74 years of age. I was on Fosamax for a while but discontinued it. I don't remember why I stopped but it may have been because of GERD. I have not had a DEXA scan follow-up so I can't say for sure whether or not going gluten free at age 50 resulted in any recoup of bone density. But, I have had numerous Xrays of this and that body part over the years since then and no doctor has commented on low bone density showing up in the Xrays. Of course, an Xray is not a DEXA scan but I think in a crude way they can reveal bone density because of how bright the bones appear on a Xray. And in around 25 years I have not had any fractures so I think that may say something. Here's an important question with regard to bone health: Are you on a PPI for GERD?

      @trents I am really not sure lol. I had a doctor who quit with no notice from 2 different practices and I was her patient both times, I just remember her telling me to take it. I guess for the dysphasia or Barrettes Esophagus? I have been taking it for years
