How Can I be overweight and have Celiac Disease?
- Absorption: often a person with celiac disease will not be absorbing omega 3 or essential fatty acids, as a result they become extremely hungry and are never full and they have a high caloric intake and the body will store that fat.
- Many have low pancreatic function, which effects your insulin and the ability to burn stored fat.
- Celiac disease can cause thyroid disorders. The thyroid secretes hormones that control your bodies metabolic rate. Your metabolic rate may slow down. Iodine deficiency can effect the thyroid.
