After the results of my latest blood test, it was determined that I was Vitamin D deficient. I was confused, as I often try to eat a well-balanced diet, and sit outside in the sun! After some online research, however, I discovered that celiac disease, as well as other autoimmune diseases can also cause a Vitamin D deficiency. This deficiency might also explain my slightly elevated blood sugar levels- more blood tests to figure this out.
I recommend yearly blood tests for those with celiac disease- and for all celiacs to stick to a gluten-free diet; the symptoms may have been much more severe had I not kept track of what I eat.
This past Saturday was the Fall Festival Reimagined at the Poughkeepsie Day School. I once again found a few people with the disease, and many who were familiar with it. I also met one of my sister's classmates with celiac disease; thankfully she enjoyed My Kidz Gluten Free :)
