Common Questions and Answers about Omeprazole and bone density

It seems that extended use is supposedly not harmful to the body. I take a 20mg tablet daily and I can function fully and eat and drink absolutely anything as long as I have had the capsule. I soon know about it if I forget to take it! That seldom happens I assure you. My question is: I have at least one bowel movement daily - usually after I get up in the morning. My stools are always loose and certainly smell very bad (so my wife assures me!).

Long-term thyroxine treatment and bone mineral density.
Franklyn JA1, Betteridge J, Daykin J, Holder R, Oates GD, Parle JV, Lilley J, Heath DA, Sheppard MC.
Abstract
Studies of the effect of thyroxine replacement therapy on bone mineral density have given conflicting results; the reductions in bone mass reported by some have prompted recommendations that prescribed doses of thyroxine should be reduced.
I have GERD and a hiatal hernia and have been taking omeprazole twice a day every day for a few months (I had been on Prevacid for several years before the omeprazole but insurance won't cover it any more). If your main symptom is burping, I would try going off of the omeprazole and switching to gas-x or some other type of gas relief medicine. As long as you aren't having a lot of problems with heartburn or acid reflux, you would probably be fine to discontinue using the omeprazole.
Maybe we should see if any of the dots connect with the Growth Hormone deficiency studies on HCV, and the Osteoporosis study linked above. GH Deficiency seems to cause loss of bone density, and is highly correlated with HCV, and possibly could worsen with tx, if our post-tx symptoms are any clue.
This Osteoporosis article also connects treatment to the problems with bone density, so it seems both HCV and tx are linked in different studies, to potential bone loss.
My Bone Density was real low, I was Dx'd with Osteoperosis. Im only 21 and a male.
The reason for this was malnutrition because of IBD. I am on a few suppliments now.
Will increasing Bone Density increase my weight loss? I need to put on weight and curious if helping my none denisty will put back on weight.
So, I have medical induced menopause. I just had a bone density scan test done but can someone help me make some sense of it? I had one done two years ago and a repeat one done last week.
It states that it is a comparison to my scan two years ago.
Findings: -0.9 lumbar spine (L1-L4): Density (g/cm2) of 1.084; T-score of -0.9; Z-score of -0.5; %change of -3.1
Femoral neck (mean):Density (g/cm2) of 0.783; T-score of -1.8; Z-score of -1.8; Z-score of -1.2; %change of -4.
I had 3 Bone density scans done in last 6 years, and the last one which was on Friday came back showing:
Left proximal femur, the lowest score is obtained in the femoral neck. The BMD of this region is 1.134 gm/cm2 with a T-score of 1.3.Between examiniations, there has been a significant increase in the total hip BMD (.0.019 gm/cm2)
Then it says: Based on the lowest T-score, the diagnostic category if : Normal (T-score >-2.5).
Arimidex 4 yrs, recently stopped due to bone pain, hips, hands,feet. Waiting to see Onc. for alternative AI adjuvant meds. Bisphosphs wkly,bone density loss ,as osteopenic.6 weeks ago: severe nausea, total lack of appetite, steatorrhea, weight loss 14 lbs, lower abdominal pain, near constipation (have had Crohn's 28 yrs and always have had diarrhea), upper right quadrant pain after eating only a yoghurt, radiating to armpit, shoulder and neck. Saw GP 4 weeks ago - prescribed omeprazole.
got my bone scan and there is bone density loss, osteopenia around -1.5.this worries me a lot because i take vit d3 and vit k2 mk4/mk7, i also make antiaging protocols and my latest dna methylation clock is 40yo while being 49yo chronologically (my cells were 40yo 2 years ago and hope they re even younger now).so any guy with zero prevention and older might get much more damage from tdf.i called hospital but they say TAF is not available.....
Hi yesterday i got my bone density test results back from a scan i had and although the nurse was unable to tell me much she said i have low bone density showing in hips and spine...
I actually do not have pain in those areas but do have pain in my forearms,wrists,lower legs and ankles so would this all be related?
In the morning i wake feeling extremely hung over, unrefreshed and my body feels stiff and on negotiating the stairs my ankles feel like they will snap!
Why isn't there a health tracker related to bone density/orthopedic diseases for women and men?
I was diagnosed with breast cancer a year ago, had partial mastectomy last May, on oral chemo with calcium and Vit D supplements. I already had osteoarthritis and am at the age for bone density loss. Oncologist recommended Prolia shot to combat bone density loss but insurance has denied due to not medically necessary. Also denied bone scan to check loss after treatment start and MRI to monitor pre cancer nodes remaining.
Hello hillre,
Forteo is a man-made form of a hormone called parathyroid that exists naturally in the body. Forteo increases bone density and increases bone strength to help prevent fractures.
Forteo is used to treat osteoporosis in men and women who have a high risk of bone fracture.
Forteo can cause side effects that may impair your thinking or reactions. Be careful if you drive or do anything that requires you to be awake and alert. Avoid smoking cigarettes, or try to quit smoking altogether.
also i seem to have multiple clacifications thoughout my body and bone pain lt.wrist and hand especially my knees and legs . my tsh level for the past yr are high and recently vit d deficiant . i take 112mcg of levothyroxine now .what bothers me the most is the bone pain that limits activity and the fatigue i feel at times . in my heart i feel tsh meds have side effects that really need to be addressed !
IS THERE A CORRELATION FOR WE WOMEN REALLY HAVE TO KNOW.
Has she had a bone-density scan? It does sound like osteoporosis, but x-rays and ultrasounds are not the way to diagnose it, she should have a scan specifically to look at how much strength is left in her bones. If her regular doctor has not ordered a bone-density scan, her ob/gyn certainly will. (I've had two of them, and I'm younger than your mom, both ordered by my gynecologist.) This will help to rule out (or rule in) the doctor's idea that her bones are "bowing out.
