If you're taking osteoporosis drugs and suffering from chronic stomach upset, the drugs are likely the reason. Drugs like Fosamax and Boniva are well-known for causing gastrointestinal disturbances. In some cases, the upset is so severe that patients must discontinue use.
For those who really need this medication, alternative forms are available, such as injections and nasal spray.
Meanwhile, persons suffering from bone loss should be taking Vitamin D supplements and calcium - the vitamin D aids in absorption of the calcium. Vitamin B-12 is also essential in preventing bone loss. It should be taken as an injection or in a liquid form for best absorption. Vitamin B-12 is also valuable in retaining memory - studies have shown that people who were suspected of suffering from Alzheimers regained their memory after treatment with Vitamin B-12.
Studies have also shown that exercise in the form of resistance helps to strengthen bones. Obviously, we should all start early with that regime.
