Malabsorption

[djmu]

Brief history with 1 question at the end. Thank you to anyone who may have any thoughts.

Blood test results were my only test for celiac. That was 15 years ago. I had already investigated about how to go gluten free and the discomfort in my gut was so debilitating that I decided that day to strictly adhere to a gluten free diet/life style. My symptoms are a distant memory except for those infrequent times when I've been misinformed at a restaurant. Celiac is a  malabsorption disorder and I understand that people with this disorder are also at risk for vitamin D deficiency.

After 15 years gluten free am I still at risk (due to celiac) for malabsorption of vitamin D from food?

In general the malabsorption caused by damaged villi in celiac disease will go away after this much time on a gluten-free diet, however, some people with celiac disease still have issues absorbing certain nutrients and need to take supplements (I am in that category). It's a good idea to do follow up blood tests from time to time to check your vitamin/mineral levels.
