Summary

The purpose of this pilot study is to explore whether dried plum (prunes) added to the diet is effective in reducing or reversing bone loss following spinal cord injury (SCI). The investigators will look for changes in bone mineral density as well as evidence in the blood of markers of bone activity. The first part of the study is to check whether participants with SCI can and will eat the required amount of dried plums (prunes) on a daily basis. The second part of the study is to follow participants over one year and look for changes in bone mass and blood markers.
