MEETING AGENDA
SPEAKER: Craig Wierum, M.D.
Dr. Wierum, an Endocronologist with Heritage Medical Associates will be
giving a lecture on Vitamin D Deficientcy: The Silent Epedemic. Vitamin D
deficiency is an unrecognized epidemic in many countries throughout the
world today including the United States. It is particularly prevalent in
areas where people avoid the sun which is our major source of Vitamin D.
Unfortunately, less than 10% of our Vitamin D comes from diet, and the
currently available supplements are inadequate to replace this deficit.
Patients with Celiac disease have often gone for many years with inadequate
Vitamin D absorption as well which compounds the problem. Dr. Wierumıs talk
will try to cover the importance of Vitamin D in the human body, the
essential need to screen all patients with Celiac disease, and the best
recommendations for treatment today. Dr. Wierum was diagnosed with Celiac
disease several years ago and is also one of our support groupıs Medical
Advisors.
