From Shereen Jegtvig, your Guide to Nutrition
This week we'll talk about celiac disease and gluten-free diets. People with celiac disease must avoid all grains containing gluten, however many people who don't have celiac disease are giving up grains as well.

I'll also tell you what happens when you don't get enough vitamin D and show you some foods that contain this important vitamin.

Have a great week.

Vitamin D Deficiency Symptoms
Vitamin D helps your body absorb calcium from the foods you eat, and also plays a role in balancing calcium and phosphate levels in your blood. So what happens when you don't get enough vitamin D?

How Many Servings For a Day's Need of Vitamin D?
