The fat absorption issue with celiac disease/gluten intolerance is a problem with vitamin D absorption (it’s a fat soluble vitamin). Researchers from www.grassrootshealth.net indicated that celiac’s and gluten sensitive individuals sometimes need as much as 2x the amount of vitamin D a non-celiac person would in order to get enough to get to the desired serum levels (40-60 ng/ml).
Could a celiac/gluten intolerant person then be supplemented transdermally? Why not. Just put a liquid form on the skin.
