Osteoporosis is a disease in which the bones become less dense than normal. In osteoporosis, the bone mineral density is significantly reduced, bone micro architecture is modified, and the amount and variety of non-collagenous proteins in bone is muddled. The decreased density makes the bones more fragile and more likely to break. In fact, most people are not aware that they have osteoporosis until they sustain a fracture.
Celiac disease on the other hand, is an autoimmune disease of the small intestine that typically occurs in genetically predisposed people of all ages. Symptoms include chronic diarrhea, fatigue, ataxia and peripheral neuropathy. However, the disease tends to be asymptomatic in some cases.
