<<Disclaimer: Verify this information before applying it to your situation.>> Hi I am wondering does anyone know about the remission of celiac disease? Are you born with it or can you develop later in life? Or is it that the symptoms become more noticeable as time goes on? I was also curious about vitamin defiencies as a result of celiac disease especially vitamin d. I have a very bad back problem along with minor neck and shoulder problems and it may be because of a lack of vitamin d, has anyone heard of this? If so does vitamin d supplements help your back and shoulders so they can be strengthenend because my back problems occur from weak muscles in the lower back and buttocks and previous exercises have not been able to help. Maybe after being on a gf diet for 6 months now my body can absorb vitamin d. If anyone has any information regarding this it would be appreciated. Thanks Matthew Russell
