Abstract

Chronic conditions affecting the gastrointestinal tract and its functions can have profound long-term effects on bone. Pathological conditions resulting in malabsorption of key vitamins and minerals, as well as altered metabolism of essential components of bone, can have lasting effects on bone health. Individuals with Crohn’s disease, ulcerative colitis, pancreatic insufficiency, celiac disease, and restrictive forms of bariatric surgery, as well as gastric bypass or partial small bowel resection, are at significant risk for osteoporosis. This chapter will cover these topics and offer strategies for clinician awareness and monitoring, diagnosis, and treatment approaches, both nonpharmacologic and pharmacologic in nature.
