u/Taome ยท 4 pointsr/Celiac

Celiac disease is associated with clubbing, see, e.g., this paper - http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3029079/ See also http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/11761775 as another example.

The clubbing suggests that you should be thoroughly evaluated for osteoporosis/osteopenia/osteomalacia as well as fat malabsorption and vitamin and mineral deficiencies (e.g., calcium, vitamins D and K2 and other fat soluble vitamins (A and E), B vitamins, etc.).

Note that it is primarily vitamin K2 (menaquinone) - not K1 (phylloquinone) - that is involved in bone formation. This book - http://www.amazon.com/Vitamin-K2-Calcium-Paradox-Little-Known-ebook/dp/B00D5TSMAS/ - does a pretty good job covering the research about that.

Besides the D and magnesium you also need enough K2 to make sure the calcium ends up in your bones and not your arteries. You don't say anything about butter but if you're not eating it I recommend adding in some good grass fed butter. It will have good levels of K2 and fits quite well into the average paleo diet.
