[Osteoporosis and digestive disease].
All patients receiving cortisone for more than 3 months should be offered not only calcium and vitamin D supplementation but also bisphosphonates in order to decrease the fractural risk. A screening for celiac disease should be performed in all patients with idiopathic osteoporosis. Following hepatic transplantation, the administration of bisphosphonates should be the rule.
