If you have intolerance to gluten it means that by eating food containing gluten it will damage the lining of your intestine and considerably reduce the absorption of vitamins and minerals, particularly calcium and vitamin D. This condition is called Coeliac disease and you have to strictly follow a gluten free diet.

The deficiency of calcium and vitamin D can bring a serious problem to your bones called osteoporosis, when bones become thinner and can easily break without any force. The main function of vitamin D in the body is to help absorb calcium. The leading nutritionists recommend the intake of calcium for people with Coeliac disease should be around 1500 milligrams per day whereas for adults without the condition, the requirement is 750 milligrams daily. When you are on a gluten free diet it is very important to have fibre rich foods. It is very difficult for Coeliac sufferers to increase their fibre intake as wholemeal bread, bran wheat and some breakfast cereals contain gluten. If you are on a gluten free diet pay attention especially eating foods containing calcium, vitamins and fibre.
