What Is Osteomalacia?
3. Celiac Disease
Celiac disease is a type of autoimmune condition, which means that the patient’s body is being attacked by its own immune system. Celiac disease causes the inner lining of the digestive system to be attacked specifically. This happens as a reaction to gluten, which is a type of protein found in some grains. The reaction will result in various unwelcome symptoms.
Celiac disease will mean that the patient is unable to absorb enough vitamin D and calcium from their food. Other potential medical causes include disorders with the liver or kidneys. This is because these organs are important for activating the vitamin in your body.
