River: The connection I needed?

Is this the causal link I was looking for to explain my mood shift?

It seems that coeliac disease is linked to vitamin D malabsorption (also calcium and vitamin B12, which I've been taking supplements for), which in turn is linked to SAD and depression.

OK, vitamin D supplements and no more gluten. We'll see if those work. Thanks to all the friends who helped me make the connection, especially dormouse_in_tea and mia_mcdavid.

absolutely concur with this choice: shortage of Vitamin D prevents your body from using the extra calcium: osteoporosis clearly is a risk for XY's like you as it is for XX's like us!

Vitamin D shortage also exacerbates MS (like my belovedest has) and MG (which I have). Probably also intensifies many other conditions, too.

Be well, and be warm.

Thanks! It'll be an interesting experiment.
