How common are calcium oxalate stones and low bone profile in celiacs?

Question

Hi everyone,

I feel like I've had the short end of the stick when it comes to Celiac as in I seem to have the more serious health issues caused by the disease. I keep developing kidney stones (due to hyperoxaluria), my teeth are slowly going (thinning as Calcium and Vitamin K are still not being absorbed), gums are receding due to poor absorption of Iron and B vitamins, and my bone profile is now borderline (on the brink of developing osteoporosis).

Also, my symptoms worsened before it finally clicked and I stopped consuming gluten because the disease allows me to eat gluten without any immediate severe symptoms.

Is this pretty common or are other symptoms more common?

I'm mainly so angry at doctors for failing to diagnose me years (5 tobe precise) ago as I've only stopped gluten intake 2 months ago. So all these years I've worsened my symptoms when I could've fixed it so easily if doctors had listened.

Rant included, sorry.
