How to Maintain Proper Nutrition and Bone Health in Celiac Disease Patients

MTHFR or methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase is an allele that becomes unstable in people with celiac disease. This condition leads to high levels of homocysteine because of the decreased ability to process methionine, an amino acid found in foods rich in protein.

The high levels of homocysteine can cause damage to blood vessels and tissues that are important for bone development. Additionally, high homocysteine levels improve the risk of bones breakage, taking in B-complex vitamins can help lessen homocysteine levels to keep bones stronger.
