Gluten Intolerant And Vitamins?

My blood test for Celiac was negative, but I think I still may be gluten intolerant. My question is, is it only people with Celiac disease that have issues with absorption of vitamins and minerals, or do people with gluten intolerance also have problems with absorption of vitamins and minerals? I think I understand how Celiacs have problems with it, but how would a gluten intolerant person have a problem with it?

The blood tests are only about 70% accurate. You can be celiac with negative blood tests. My guess with gluten intolerance is that the intestinal inflammation might be interfering with absorption. My mom is negative by blood and biopsy, but had a severe B12 deficiency and low D.

It's possible that the reason some people are gluten intolerant is that their digestive systems are not operating properly...due to absence of good bacteria, poor health or whatever. In that case the gluten intolerance wouldn't be causing the malabsorption--it would be a result of it.

      Manitol and mri

      By nanny marley · Posted

      Thanks rmj when I first rang up it was we can't do it without , but I talked to a lovely lady and she sorted it all out for me, so it pays to be persistent , I would have had to decline if I hadn't been given the water option too , so yes I'm glad too 😌

      I’m so glad they listened to your concerns!  I hope you get some answers from the MRI.

      Coeliac and Thyroid?

      By Peace lily · Posted

      Thank you ,it’s been a long road for me for having both now ,what upsets the most is that if they discovered that I also have cealiac earlier I would not have injested gluten if I was aware. Double whammy.
