Vitamin D/Gluten issues
Because ingested vitamin D in the form of foods or supplements is absorbed in the small intestine, people with small bowel disorders such as Celiac disease are usually deficient in vitamin D. http://www.uptownnutrition.com/PDFDo...E4M59L3PD1.PDF 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). |
